I couldn't agree more. That is why I feel that a study group done in real time, will not work properly. Questions get missed, answers don't come, everyone is talking at the same time. I prefer to have them at members homes. We rotate, serve refreshments, BS, work on tree, Have a snack, BS, work on tree. We probably do more eating and BSing, than actual work on trees. I have found that study groups, in my opinion, don't really last that long. They are sessions that may focus on one aspect of the plant. Maybe it needs a branch. The decision may be how to do it, thread graft, approach graft, etc. That may be all that is talked about on that particular tree. The process may or maynot even happen at the study group. This may be done at a later time, in the privacy of the tree owners home.

IMHO, A concenses of what needs to be fixed or improved, How to do it, with a follow up post 2 or 3 months later. That should do it. The session of that thread lasted 3 hours. What was the owner of that tree waiting to hear? AK
