I am not a user (licensed or otherwise) of QTRA as yet as I have only just been made aware of it. I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of questions I have of it.
1. I have read that it adheres to industry best practice in tree surveying. Is it widely used and does it hold much credibility when measuring up to other methods such as VTA and others.
2. By not actually having to state the safety of the tree and therefore not needing to recommend tree works to be carried out, it sounds like this may be a rather wishy-washy method of risk assessment taking the heat off the surveyor but at the cost of watering down the report. Please correct me if I am wrong because I have a genuine interest in QTRA.
I look forward to any replies.
Regards.
Phil
