Tree assessment: storm damaged trees

During the past 4 days there have been many news stories and photos of trees failing causing damage to cars, utes, trucks, homes and powerlines, now is a good time to inspect your trees and how structurally safe they are. With the amount or rain has the soil been eroded from around the tree root plate has the tree moved in the ground and then re settled and then may fail in the next couple of days or the next strong winds. As owners of trees having your trees checked out, by a Professional consulting arborist, for peace of mind although some failures are hard to judge, 90 % can be detected easily and action can be taken cheaply to resolve, it’s better than having your home or car damaged or worst still a love injured after a major failure. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to managing trees on your property., you are responsible for any damage your trees cause to persons or surrounding property, so having trees on your property comes with the commitment of maintaining them in a safe and healthy condition in our current times. Tree risk assessments and safety audits around homes, offices and work sites need to be conducted by a Professional Independent Arborist; who understands the risk that trees pose to residents and workers. An Arborist such as Fred Janes at Angophora Consulting Arborist is a level 5 arborist (AQF level 5) qualified in the latest techniques using the international Arborist associations Tree risk Assessments qualifications (TRAQ). Fred can provide professional advice on how to mitigate the risk and allay fears that you may have of your tree/s.

Tree management and Fertization

With the cooler months now upon us and as most of the trees now go dormant or at the very least growth is slowed now is the time to prepare our trees for spring with goal of enhancing the vitality, beauty and function of our trees through fertization. The introduction of different types and formulations of fertization has grown Immensity (Pun intended) Add to this the wide variation of soil types and disturbed soils from one back yard to the next, the range of weather conditions from the coast to the Upper Mountains. Now add the wide range of tree species from our native gums trees Rainforest trees to introduced exotic trees and fruit trees, each having somewhat different problems and nutrient needs. Each tree species have a preferred soil pH soil type that allows them to effectively uptake the nutrients that they need, this is called effective cation exchange capacity (eCEC) To best determine the needs of your trees please contact Fred Janes arborist at Angophora Consulting Arborist who is a level 5 Arborist up to date with the latest techniques and can conduct a soil pH test to determine what fertizer is best for your trees
