Description

Do you know how to assess a tree's health and safety? And do you know how to do so in a systematic way to ensure you don't miss any major clues?This episode is designed to teach non-arborists within the landscape and horticulture sector what to look for when inspecting trees. What signs tell us that a tree is doing well? And what signs tell us we need to contact an AQF Level 5 consulting arborist for a closer look?Starting at the ground and surrounding environment, moving up the trunk, and out toward the branch tips, there are a number of things to check to ensure our trees are heading in the right direction. EPISODE LINKSGary's Twitter: https://twitter.com/arborsmartyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-moran-786240164Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tree_side_arboriculture/Treeside Arboricultural Consultancy Services: https://treeside.com.au/Ozbreed root rot treatment trial. https://www.ozbreed.com.au/summary-plants-in-various-wet-feet-conditions/Trial tested root rot treatments on Tanika Lomandra longifolia, known for thriving in dry slopes and flat areas and temperate wet, but struggling in humid, wet conditions.
