Marie sold her property in 2011 to Julie and Jim.
We are grateful to Julie and Jim for allowing us to continue the test-trial work.
|
The Scope of the Property
This property includes a block of Lodgepole Pines between the house and the road, an old stand of Aspen to the northeast, and at least 100 additional acres of Lodgepole Pines to the east.
Treatment was concentrated on the "Beacon" tree at the front of the house. However, we have already pointed out that trees operate in community and "sing" to each other. So, Dr. Conroy spreads his Green Centrics™ bioenergy healing treatment to Lodgepole Pines on the entire property through community so that they all receive the treatment.

Please scroll down to see the progressive results as follows on this property:
- "Feeder Tree" is the Beacon tree and is shown in successive visits.
- 2 Significant Trees: "L'il Pardner" and "Lone Star" shown in side-by-side comparisons.
- Lodgepole Pines in the parking area and the forest below that.

"Feeder" Tree in front of the House
|
1st Visit: Late October, 2007
As of 2007, Marie's property was in one of the hardest hit areas of Colorado: Grand County. Mountainsides were red with dying Lodgepole Pines by the time Dr. Jim Conroy and Ms. Basia Alexander were invited there by concerned residents. Piles of cut trees littered the landscape.
The Lodgepole Pine where Dr. Jim Conroy, The Tree Whisperer, is seen working (in a blue jacket) is across from Marie's front door and at the top of a slope containing hundreds of small to medium size trees. We call this tree the "Feeder Tree" because it has a bird feeder and two birdhouses hanging in it.
Another tree in the far left of the shot is mostly green, but look closely to see brown tips already on this tree. The brown tips indicate that it is in early stages of decline.

|
|
2nd Trip: May, 2008
The "Feeder Tree" is doing well. It came through the winter and is green with new growth.
The other tree that showed signs of a few red needles has progressed toward death.
In the photo below, note the bird houses and the new, lush growth of needles.
| |
|
3rd trip: October, 2008
The "Feeder Tree" has gone through another "fly" of the Pine Bark beetles. It is still green and shows lush growth. There are no signs of reddening of the needles.
Note that the surrounding trees are similarly green.
| |
 |
| Lush new growth from the 2008 season. Lush new growth from the 2008 season. |
|
|
|
 |
| June, 2009. 4th Trip: June, 2009 The "Feeder Tree" is still doing very well. For the first time in years, it is hosting a nest of Chickadees. |
|
| |
 |
| The "Feeder Tree" is looking green, with "candles" of new growth from 2-5" high. |
|
|
5th Trip: October 2009
The Feeder Tree is still thriving after the Beetle fly of July and a hot summer. Note the lush green of the Lodgepole Pines even in October. This demonstrates tree recovery and improving health.
We are bundled up for cold weather. A rare shot of Basia Alexander. She is Dr. Conroy's business partner, fellow author and teacher. When in Colorado, she is the photographer! Someone grabbed her camera and took this photo of her!!

| October, 2009: Feeder Tree. Dr. Jim tells the owner about the tree's state of health. . . . Despite showing signs of Beetle hits from the Beetle "fly" the previous July, the Feeder Tree has grown actively all summer and withstands the presence of the larvae. |

|
|
7th Trip: June 2011
Despite damage and a few Beetle hits, the Feeder Tree is still going strong. Please also see abundant growth of trees in the background.
We were delighted to be able to save this tree. If you look back to the 2007 & 2008 photos, you'll see that a tree very similar in size and age about 20 feet away from the Feeder Tree was already dying. The Feeder Tree could just as easily have browned and died; especially given all of its trunk damage and hits. However, the health of the tree was increased through Dr. Jim's Green Centrics and Co-Existence Technologies healing treatments.

Significant Tree: "L'il Pardner"
"L'il Pardner" is another tree on Marie's property.
What is notable about this tree is that Dr. Jim did not specifically touch this tree. "L'il Pardner" is simply nearby but received treatment anyway since it is in the Lodgepole Pine community of trees.
