has immediately to cope with unnatural lev- els of illumination and heat, covering itself as quickly as possible with branches right down to the ground at the expense of its upward growth. Its form is cone-shaped, sometimes excessively so; as fig. 18.3 shows, there is massive development of branches on the lower part of the trunk. On closer inspection it can be seen that the distribution of branches is unbalanced, that there is a greater density of branches on the sunny, left hand side of the trunk and, although this shape may be appropriate for a Christmas tree, it is actually grossly misshapen. In a plantation setting, as a tree grows it eventually receives a certain degree of protec- tion from its neighbouring trees, the need for lateral branch development diminishes and the predominant direction of growth is once again upwards. However, in the conventional management of plantation forests, after the prescribed period of rotation, the trees are selectively thinned, those considered suitable as constructional timber going to the sawmill and the remainder to the pulp-mill. The effect of this thinning out on the remaining trees is disastrous! Once again, and very suddenly, they are exposed to excess heat and light. In order to survive, all the growth energy is directed laterally towards the development of branches all the 18: The Metabolism of the Tree TAX way down the exposed part of the trunk, pre- dominantly on the sunny side, producing a second profusion of knots, shakes and twisted, spongy grain. Note in fig. 18.4 the large variations in the space between the annual rings and the inner and outer coarse- ness in the grain on the trunk cross-section, the healthiest growth in this instance having taken place roughly during the middle third of the tree's life, when the annual rings were closest together. In the early stages of devel- opment this 33-year old tree was obviously exposed to unnatural levels of light and heat. As its trunk gradually became protected from these excesses by its companion trees, the annual rings drew together, only to expand again abruptly and hugely when this protec- tion had been removed. Any resonant timber would only be obtain- able from the area of closely spaced rings, but a board cut from the full width of the trunk would suffer non-uniform shrinkage. In terms of their suitability for constructional purposes, the naturally grown, narrow- ringed timber is far superior, more consistent, firm and regular in its structure, and far less prone to warping or irregular shrinkage. Plantation timber or shade-demanders sud- denly exposed to light in natural forests, on the other hand, exhibit not only irregular spacing of the annual rings, but the heart of the tree is frequently off-centre and prone to the development of heart-rot and ring- shakes, the latter being cleavages along the lines of and between the annual rings. Moreover, not only does the spongy consis- tency of the inter-annular spaces result in excessive and unequal shrinkage, making such timber virtually useless and totally unsound as strong structural material, but the associated abnormally high internal tem- peratures also provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and parasites, to which the tree will eventually fall victim. All these necrotic phenomena are what Viktor Schauberger referred to as 'tree cancer' and is evidently what afflicted the tree in the two photographs in fig. 18.5, which has suffered a lethal infestation of heart-rot as shown by the fungal growths (arrowed) half way up the trunk, causing its fracture.PDF Image | Viktor Schauberger Work Explained
