Hey Chris, thanks for being out there! I'm trying to get you lined up with water in Flagstaff. There are wildfires raging in the Northern parts of the Gila Forest and into AZ. Perhaps not too surprisingly, folks there are being careful about their water. Will keep you posted.

Great, thank you Rob - please let them know my ROIs on water use are typically 10-100x (at least) and total amount of water used is less than 1/4 of a normal-sized USA home swimming pool. IE: I put in 2,500 to 5,000 gallons, a pool needs about 20,000 gallons; a quarter inch rain on 1 acre = +6,700 gallons. Rainmaking rains tend to go for miles and miles (everywhere there's contiguous trees) once engaged. And, even if no rain, the moisture will spread over the landscape wherever there is contiguous vegetation and eliminate fire danger.

This is such incredible stuff Chris! Now when you say it just flipped, is that a perception in your body like what you mentioned when you were watering the tree trunk? Or is there actually some measuring instrument that flips? Or some thing about the light that changes?

This is very interesting, l live in a part of Spain where we have so many chem trails that is obvious they are mamipulating the climate, this year we haven't had any rain and a lot of wind, l don't know if you share your findings freely or not but l'm really interested in trying them in this area, but of course l need more info, it's not clear the amount of water the separation between trees etc. to make it successful.

Hi Chris! A friend just sent this over to me as I was discussing caring for my Live Oaks. I am very inspired y your video but before I share this with everyone I know, especially in my neighborhood, a question: Does this watering method replace or augment the need to water our trees?? (I have been a bit puzzled as to where exactly to place a soaker hose in my yard in order to water my oaks as the going practice is to deeply water the "drip line", which would essentially be my entire yard). Thanks so much and I can't wait to delve more into this practice of fire prevention, drought reversal, cooling areas...speaking of, are you working with the city/Tree Folks/Fire Department to educate them about this??

@andrewa.4860 10 ай бұрын

You say you can generate systemic cooling and it is consistent, yet provide no evidence of systemic cooling. Can you show us on a thermometer how you are generating this cooling? How exactly do deciduous trees, "release a cooling moist wind"? Trees primarily absorb water through their roots, why is it better to apply the water to the trunk? In this heat, the water would evaporate off the trunk in 30 minutes which would provide a brief cooling effect to the bark, but probably provides very little water to the root system. 12-15 gallons is a spitwad on the watering needs of a Mature Live Oak.

@chrissearles8305 10 ай бұрын

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Great questions. Here are short answers. Happy to talk more. I've been watering in San Marcos trying to generate rain, since last Thursday... And we got it yesterday (Tuesday). I was able to rehydrate 10 superlative live oaks in a grove, using WAY more than 15 gallons per tree, and they brought the rain. To your question on systemic cooling, this rain generation directly cooled everything. Austin is downwind of San Marcos, and yesterday was our first day below 100F since July 7. Neither rain nor low temperature were in the forecast for Austin. . . Deciduous trees are releasing cooling moist winds through their trunks and leaves, it appears. Applying to the trunk, gently, has at least 2 powerful benefits arborists have been missing: #1, COOLING the tree, this wetting provides RELIEF directly to the tree's body, you are cooling the literal organism this way and you're doing it with freshwater... so #2, Super rapid hydration of the vascular properties of the tree seems to occur consistently (which is what stimulates circulation). I think bark is far more awake/aware/sensitive and conductive than common culture believes, after having watered 10s of 1,000s of times this way. Moisture also drips down the trunk into the roots... And, this video is about experiencing the coolness that can come from one wash and two trickles... To fully rehydrate a superlative Live Oak in Central Texas right now I'm using 150 to 200 gallons total, per tree. . . (And then we get rain over the region. . . ) Spitwad is a pretty negative term. Again, this video is not about full rehydration, this is about getting people outdoors to care for their trees, experience the benefits, and hopefully encouraging us all to be in relationship with this critical aspect of our safety and happiness: tree care. Hope this helps, you can contact me via the email in the video, I'm happy to talk or have you join me at a site for a demonstration any time. No tricks here. Thank you-Chris

@biointegrity 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for your question, Timothy. Prior to this EXTREME drought and # of consecutive days over 105F (eleven in July and eleven in August), the method that was most effective was a one-day, gentle rehydration “intensive.“ For superlative trees -- extremely large trees (four feet or more in diameter at chest height), i slow drip (bucket) 80 gallons right next to the trunk, all around it, and then another 20 gallons in trunk wash and hot spot moistening. To do that, you can fill and drain one bucket 16 times and just move it around the trunk with each filling, or... place and fill 16 buckets all around the trunk. Smaller trees get less water. You also one bucket a day for 16 days. All of that said, just yesterday I did 5 such trees (large, mature live oaks) and noticed they need A LOT more to rehydrate, perhaps 150 to 200 gallons of slow, gentle water. So without seeing your tree(s), its hard to say how often. I do think once you get going, you’ll be able to see the improvements and can gauge from there. Feel free to email a photo and I can be more specific: Chris.Searles at biointegrity.net Thanks again

How often should I be bathing the trunk? I used a Dramm gentle hose end on a wand and found I could more easily get to the underside of my leaning live oaks. Thanks for the video. I think I could hear my numerous oaks exhaling with relief. Also saw a couple of squirrels 'splooting' on the cooled parts of the oaks.

Hi sorry for my late reply -- LOTS of watering this week. This is a great question, several people have asked. Here is a basic reply, for the Central TX area: Prior to this EXTREME drought and # of consecutive days over 105F (eleven in July and eleven in August), the method that was most effective was a one-day, gentle rehydration “intensive.“ For superlative trees -- extremely large trees (four feet or more in diameter at chest height), i slow drip (bucket) 80 gallons right next to the trunk, all around it, and then another 20 gallons in trunk wash and hot spot moistening. To do the 80 gallons, you can fill and drain one bucket 16 times and just move it around the trunk with each filling, or... place and fill 16 buckets all around the trunk. Smaller trees get less water. You also one bucket a day for 16 days. All of that said, just yesterday I did 5 such trees (large, mature live oaks) and noticed they need A LOT more to rehydrate, perhaps 150 to 200 gallons of slow, gentle water. It just depends on conditions. So without seeing your tree(s), its hard to say how often. I do think once you get going, you’ll be able to see the improvements and can gauge from there.

Hi Chris. Thanks for posting this and all your good work! What's the difference between using the buckets versus spraying the trunk with a garden hose? Hitting it with the hose would seem easier and better saturation. Norm

@biointegrity 11 ай бұрын

Hi Norm, Thanks - Yes, you can certainly use either. You can also use an open hose or your thumb over a garden hose, anything that gets water onto the bark is good. I think the main difference is nozzles can push us towards thinking “power wash.“ In this video I wanted to promote very careful / mindful / conservative / gentle wash and water use, to prevent water waste. Of course nozzles can be MUCH more water-efficient in good hands. I also think physically touching the trees has great benefit, but nozzles are certainly wonderful. I use them a lot to deeply or quickly water a trunk or to get water to trunks I can’t physically access. On a standard nozzle, I feel tree bark prefers Shower and Full at close range. Those are great settings for saturation. Play with it and rehydrate! Thanks again

Nice presentation. I’ve been following the USDA_NRCS for a while. To slot into your sphere of biodiversity is a bunch of research that shows why slash a burn is so disruptive of the rain forest eco system. The amazon has really crappy soil and if you disturb it’s cycle you get 2-3 year tops grazing and growing land then you have to slash and burn again. Piecing together the exploration logs of the Spanish explorers there was a very large civilization in the jungle at the time of their travels when they returned 10 years latter they were nowhere to be found. These were not just tribes but had large cities and millions of people in them. But the diseases the the Spaniards carried wiped the out. The question then remained of how the supported such a large density of people in the very poor soils of the Amazon. The discovery of charcoal mixed with pottery fragments was a first clue. Followed up by the “ever living” black soil that is coveted by the farmers there. This turned out to be large biochar mounds that the tribes made from burned forest debis if clay vessels to reduce the amount of air in the combustion. We have been learning about the benefits of biochar for the last 20 years or so and they were using it on some of the poorest soils on the planet to grow food. Recent studies have followed up rumors of the everliving black soil. Some families have been mining this biochar and selling it for generations. But they figured out if they leave 20cm or so of the soil alone in 20 years or so it’s back to meters deep without the addition of any inputs. They are now trying to isolate the biological reasons behind the everlasting soil. The NRCS has been promoting No till and other practices including grazing on farm lands. In their studies having herbivores trample through the grass lands eating the grass, but not destroying the roots because they are constantly moving, they provide the biological matter and trample the organic matter that the soil uses to stay alive. Their studies show that if we could restore the range lands and use the ever hated cattle as the herbivores they can replicate what the buffalo did and with the native grass root structure reaching down nearly 8 ft, this can by itself remove the historical carbon load that mans activities have generated and put it in the ground where it’s needed for life with biochar as the buffering agent that lasts at least 500 years in the soil we can feed the world and sink most of the carbon. Simply aligning the existing federal farm subsidies into a mandate for No till, cover crops and possibly grazing to qualify for the funds this could quickly become a big part of the solutions. Then add some industrial sized portable solar powered biochar plants where needed, Brazil seems like a good place as well as Texas and Arizona to start production using the old managed pulp wood forests as source material ( I’d include waste as well but we don’t seem to be able to keep toxins out of our waste supply) we could start a green belt back in the great plains. Then if the research can isolate the biology behind the ever living soil the cattle would incubate and spread the beneficial material doing what cows do, eat grass and shit out high value concentrated organic cow pies. The Aussies have successfully made self exploding cow pies to better distribute its goodness with out humans spreading the stuff over the soil. We couple have a self sustaining carbon sink, that even if we manage to kill or selves off or there is another global disaster life will continue on. Peace out ✌🏼 #keepmovingsideways.
