Good job.

Can you remember to take a pic in about 2 weeks?

I want to see if they get shocked bad. Like a side by side.

Hey funny thing Sean, in all those transplants I never see you doing any work.

Ace Master · 21st November 2007, 10:50 PM

Nice pics
A lot of pre goes into transplanting.Did you stake or tied the trees down after transplanting, how many times a week in watering, was the trees mulched.

good work keep it up.

Sean Freeman · 21st November 2007, 10:55 PM

Yep I try to stay out of the heat so mostly lying down under shady tree dreaming of towns and cities full of leafy suburbs.......mainly I take 95% of the pics.

The trees will be guyed tomorrow Ace, our contract was only for the process of transplant am writing another proposal to the road construction company in relation to 1yrs PHC for all 7 trees tonight, if they accept it i don't actually expect the trees to loose much leaf at all, well maybe one of them might.
Mimusops is as tough as any Ficus, very very strong plant. PHC will be mulching soil drenches and watering, all the usual stuff.

Nice when the excavator can do the dig AND the lift and move all in one ey!

Good work as always

Great work Sean, you guys really get the cream of the crop.

Sean Freeman · 10th April 2008, 08:56 PM

Just a brief posting from my week up north, this tree had lost just over 30% of its canopy about a month back (storms)

Before

After storm

Options limited on this one since the land owner City council very risk averse in this high profile area...remaining canopy very exposed as a result of breakout...risk to persons not excessive, but likelihood of future failure in remaining canopy very great. Previous breakouts had already produced large hollows in the main stem and scaffolds..we pushed for retention of the tree as habitat...here's the results....

Part way through

Final snag

The tree is also an anchor for a large peice of public art, council are going to plant another native tree near the new habitat tree.

It'll bush up real nice mate.

JohN Dee · 10th April 2008, 11:49 PM

Hey Sean, you guys gunna come back and keep knocking off the epicormics as they come or let it bush up? How come yas didn't ring bark it?

Did you put a sign on it saying it's a habitat tree? Or can we expect a thread from another company in NQLD saying, look at this hack job on council land too

TreeSpecialist · 10th April 2008, 11:57 PM

If you were going to leave it as art, you should have done it a little differently.

JohN Dee · 11th April 2008, 12:10 AM

Lol, nice pic Pat.

Sean Freeman · 11th April 2008, 09:27 AM

Sorry should have said the stem was poisoned, after being ringbarked...

Yes really good pics TreeSpecialist of the art work...in the case of this tree the pubic art is a huge red back spider, you can just see the legs of it to the right...

Council had a temporary sign up which I forgot to photograph, a permanent one might be going up..after the amalgamation they have a lot of other things to get done first I think!

Excellent pics and true professional work going on there Sean.

Ahh, what I have always said, information ... they should also get a free public press release in the local rag to explain so a topping epidemic doesn't break out.

You're right the PR opportunity for Arboriculture and education is big but the timing in relation to the amalgamation process is a disaster! The "new" council will be chasing its own tail for at least 18 months I think.
