Several years ago we went before the ARC to have a Live Oak removed.We had to produce a picture of the trunk measured 2 feet from the ground and the with of the trunk. I used 2 measuring tapes while my wife took the picture. Also the person we dealt with ( can't remember his name or title) was very old and was biased against women. My wife knew all about the project ( I''m just arm candy) and he refused to speak to her --I had to repeat her sentence and he would reply to me. the picture was definitive re: diameter so he had to ask an aborist who gave his OK. All in all a distasteful trip back to 1956.
