Those who choose to work with trees can choose various types of jobs within the field. Two of those jobs, tree surgeons and arborists, are often referred to interchangeably, but they’re actually quite different. Arborists require a more formal education, while tree surgeons gain their experience out on the field. Both jobs can overlap, depending on the company providing tree services, and both jobs require extensive knowledge and experience working with trees. What Does an Arborist Do?

Arborists undergo extensive training in order to become certified in their field, such as: Courses in tree biology, tree growth patterns, and much more A long, rigorous certification program Pass the final exam after the program Continue with ongoing education after the fact to maintain certification The arborist assesses the tree and its condition.

The mighty palm tree has been commonly enjoyed in Melbourne for thousands of years so, luckily, we’ve had lots of time to learn the best practices of caring for these giant trees. Trimming is one of those practices! Trimming is the practice of removing brown or dying fronds to improve your palm’s appearance as well as encourage healthy growth. While most property owners might think that trimming can be done year-round, this is actually far from the truth! It is best to stick to trimming your palm tree’s fronds in the spring season to keep your tree in optimal condition. In the same way, it is highly recommended that you avoid trimming in the winter season so that the fronds can protect your tree from cooler weather.

Reasons for removing a tree from your property are numerous, but what should be done with the stump that’s left behind after the tree is gone? Stumps can be completely removed or ground down, depending on the client’s preference. 1. Stumps can be a haven for unwanted pests such as ants, termites, and more. When a stump is left behind, it takes a while for the leftover wood to rot and decompose. The rotting and decomposing process attracts bugs that you don’t want in your yard, such as ants, termites, beetles, and more. They will initially be attracted to the stump but will migrate to other areas of your yard and potentially your house. If they spread to your house, you could find yourself looking at a costly pest control bill, particularly if you end up having to get rid of a termite invasion. 2. Stumps take up space in your yard that could be used for more functional purposes. Let’s face it: stumps aren’t pretty. They sit in your yard and take up valuable space, potenti...

Typically, our area of Melbourne doesn’t experience much cold weather; however, the unpredictability of the winter months can sometimes produce a cold snap. During these drops in temperature, it’s important to provide your palm trees with extra attention to protect them from the cooler weather. Here are some tips for preparing your palm trees for cooler weather in Melbourne and the surrounding areas. Move Potted Palms Indoors If you have small palms that you are growing in pots, move them indoors to continue growing through the winter weather. Moving potted palms indoors will keep them warm and dry throughout the season and prevent any cold damage to them. If you choose to move your potted palms inside your home, make sure to place them near a window and provide them with as much light as possible . Even though your potted palm trees can thrive perfectly fine indoors during the cool winter months, they still need sufficient light to survive. Providing your palms with a warm,...
