OK I'm going to stick my neck into this one. Could Carl be asking why did you collect this tree if there isn't a plan in place for it? You mention in your 'Collecting Guidlines' above to only collect what you will use... if there isn't a plan for it, how are you going to use it? I have collected several trees that I now admit I had no plan for....they are still awaiting a decision and probably will just go back to be landscape trees.

I think an addition to your guidlines...which I admit are real nice, is to know that the collected material has a future and that you are not collecting it just because.....I came all this way and I'm going to get something!!!

my 2 cents
