Default Northern Tree Specialists

Ok, so here I shall post pics from some of the jobs we get up to in North Queensland, mind you some of these are in SE Queensland, but anyway.

1st up is a removal of an Albizia lebbeck with a bad case of the Ganoderma's
Now we're not the sort of Arb guys who will start a saw when ever we see fungal fruiting bodies. This tree on a 50' lean obviously regrowth over severely damaged root crown with one half of the regrowth failed due to fungal decay, the root system on the other side 15+ Ganoderma fruiting bodies, canopy over the entrance road to the car park of the Towns Sports Reserve.

Red arrow points at dead section, yelow circle surrounds very large number of brackets..photo taken few weeks ago


Closer look at that stem...are those roots telling us anything special...I think they are.


Tim about to go up, looks enthusiastic doesn't he?


Better view of the target area under the leaning canopy
