Good day this week I was asked to assess 3 very large and old English Elms out at Orange. The trees are located in Robertson Park in the Center of the shopping area. While some defects in the mid canopy was noticed and after discussions with the manager I was requested to conduct an Aerial assessment using their trailer mounted Elevated Work Platform (EWP) With the defects noticed from the ground I was also able to identify another defect in a branch not sighted from the ground (see last photo) With this information I was able to give a comprehensive report and Mitigation options to these trees.
Aerial inspections are a very good way to help identify any potential problems in large and mature trees trees are living growing and as they mature will develop defects and when these trees are located in and around people can be a hazard and when they fail and if someone or an assert is hit causing injury death and damage.
Contact Angophora Consulting Arborist to assess any tree and especially any large mature tree that you have so you can have the peace of mine knowing that your tree/s are safe and if necessary arrange an aerial inspection.
