Default Re: Save the private tree cost $260,000 paid by Brisbane City Council

That is not good news, it is hard enough to persuade developers and councils to save existing veg as it is, but examples of this kind of shoddy practice...insufficient prep, lack of skills, insufficient post transplant care...all just serve to convince others that transplants cannot work...when the opposite is true.

Given enough time, resources and Arboricultural skill and experience...any tree, no matter what species, size or location can be successfully transplanted.

This tree was worth the money spent...it just should have been spent on a company that could do the job following best practices. They do exist!!!!!
