We were recently appointed to carry out a heavy reduction on a Sycamore tree in a churchyard. The tree had been identified as having basal decay so by reducing the weight and spread of the canopy, structural stability is increased, reducing the risk of failure. The tree will be monitored by a Tree Consultant going forward #basaldecay #acerpseudoplatanus #heavyreduction #structuralstability

Nothing better than being amongst the trees and bluebells at this time of year. Did you know that around half of the world’s bluebells are found in the UK and they are used as one of the indicator plants to determine whether a woodland is ancient or not #ancientwoodland #AD1600 #hyacinthoidesnonscripta

We put a high degree of importance on training and development at Chartfords, ensuring that we work to best practice and are always improving our knowledge and skill. Last week, James and Matt brushed up on their MEWP operating skills and next month’s focus is the use of ladders and working on/near public highways #everydaysaschoolday #ipaf #nrswa #raisingprofessionalstandards

Sometimes we need to include the use of a MEWP in our working methods. This could be down to safety or efficiency reasons. Maybe the trees are diseased or dying, meaning climbing would be dangerous or difficult, or maybe there are a number of trees to be worked on and climbing would dramatically increase the amount of time required to complete the job. It is always good practice to consider the use of a MEWP when carrying out site visits and when planning work. #healthandsafety #workingatheights #mewp #cherrypicker #boomlift

Next time you’re out on a walk, take a look at the leaves on any Holly you come across. We spotted these two types of leaves on the same tree whilst out walking recently. The smooth edged leaves were much higher up on the tree and the prickly ones lower down. These variations within a single tree are the result of herbivore activity and molecular responses to environmental change ie prickly leaves grow where animals browse, to try to limit future damage. #heterophyllous #methylation #adaptability #amazingnature

Can you spot the Oak holding onto its Autumn coloured leaves? Not necessarily a sign of poor health but a natural phenomena called marcescence. An incomplete corky layer (abscission zone) prevents the leaves detaching from the tree and they cling on until new growth forces them to drop in the Spring. Most commonly seen in Beech, Oak and Hornbeam. #everciduoustrees #autumncolour #quercus #fagus #carpinus

Earlier this week, the team worked on a Goat Willow with poor unions and active fungal brackets. A heavy crown reduction was carried out to help reduce mechanical stress and risk of failure. Did you know that Goat Willow is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate trees? #salixcaprea #crownreduction #fungalbrackets
