Talk:Inosculation

Fused, or forked?
Is there a difference in terminology between two stems that fuse (inosculation) and one that forks? What happens internally in the specimen above the inosculation point? Are there always two piths? I've never heard of two piths fusing into one, but I've definitely seen many cases where one pith splits into two (at a fork point). Three of the photos on the page look to me like normal cross-sections a few inches above a fork point: Fused chestnut trees; Fused ash trees; and Fused ash trees, side view. The question for the side-view photo is, where the cut face is shown, was this at the bottom of the section, or was it at the top? If the cut face was from the top of the stem while it was still standing, it's obvious that this was a single stem lower down that split or forked into two. Is that the same thing as "inosculation"? This needs to be cleared up and some authoritative references are needed. pradtke (talk) 17:20, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Added Japanese maple to the list
I added Japanese maple to the list, after alphabetizing. No documentation is on hand for Japanese maple. But after 3000 pruning projects, its evident that Japanese maple is the most common tree I find out of all encountered to bond like this, branch to branch. That and willow, which is already on the list.Mdvaden 03:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed crepe maple to "crape myrtle" which is the correct genus and species spelling.Mdvaden 03:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Husband and Wife tree
All material from Husband and Wife tree is represented here, I believe. What would be the objection to making that article simply redirect here?--Wetman (talk) 05:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

No objection, good move.Slowart (talk) 14:56, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone has already merged the pages, I'll tidy up and redirect. Blackash   have a chat 01:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
