QT and a Near-Death Experience of a Tree
I just wanted to share a phenomenal experience I had utilizing QT and one of my beautiful trees. My daughter brought to my attention that one of the largest and most beautiful trees in my back yard appeared to be near death, if not completely gone. Over the course of two weeks, unbeknownst to me, web worms had almost completely consumed this tree. It really is special to me, as one limb holds a swing which will hold an adult, while another branch supports a baby swing. This tree has given my family many fond memories and a few giggles, since my granddaughter thinks it's quite comical to watch a "swinging grandma" .
When I discoverd the damage to this tree, I was heartsick. A river of sap was flowing down the trunk--in essence the tree's lifeblood was draining away. The webworms had consumed all but about 12 leaves on the tree and it was in sad shape. We treated for the webworms and I immediately began doing hands-on QT for about 15 minutes. Later that evening, I did distant work for about 30 minutes.
<>Two days later, (we're talking August in Texas) the tree was covered in new, completely healthy leaves, the sap was no longer flowing. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!My only regret is that I did not have the foresight to take before and after pictures!
My daughter just stared in awe at the sight of the tree she had felt certain was DOA.
It was amazing! I LOVE QT and so does my "special tree".
Thank you for giving me this wonderful gift of healing.
