WM Trees

Another successful run of tree light installations from ‘the dream boys’ (it was a misheard radio call for ‘tree boys’ but it seemed to stick 😂) This year we were at all very different locations and conditions but we delivered with our usual flare

Love this idea from RHS Garden Wisley

Our Arboriculture team recently had to cut down a large Pinus contorta tree in the Pinetum which was around 80 years old as unfortunately the crown was dying off. It had been in poor health for a while due to a fungal decay that affects tree roots.

We decided to retain the stump and have air blasted it to remove the soil around the root plate to beautifully showcase what the tree’s mature roots looked like under soil. It provides a fascinating insight into what’s going on underground!🌳

Had all the toys out for this pretty technical job for Exeter homes trust. Trees have been in serious decline for years and unfortunately aren’t recovering. I think that recent ground works and poorly timed pruning could have been the reason, if so the root system is compromised and where I would normally leave standing deadwood I feel that it’s a shame for these magnificent pieces of yew to go to waste like that.

We will be planking these trees to supply local artists and craftsmen with an amazing one of a kind pieces of timber!

Big thanks to all the team on the day.

.mca great location for an after work pint!

Great day spent halo releasing an amazing veteran birch and taking the height down on a dead turkey oak so the rest can stay standing with all its beautiful habitat potential. Thanks for the help .mca
