The idea of this section is to help folk identify what might be going awry with a tree or to answer the perenial question, 'What do I do now?'

Below under the buttons are a series of questions to assist in diagnosing the next step with any given tree.

This process is called a heuristic (from the Greek meaning "to discover"). It is an approach to problem solving that takes one's personal experience into account.

 

 

On each of the following pages there is always a way back to the page/s that went before through the 'breadcrumb' list of previous pages, this is found top left of each page.

Please choose and click on the button below that best describes the state of the tree you are considering.
