The care of a tree or group of trees that have been transplanted/relocated is, of course, critical to its well-being, particularly in the warmer months.
This process can be both complex and time-consuming, depending on the species of tree and the location chosen. To ensure your tree or trees have the best chance of survival, appropriate monitoring, aftercare, and support are imperative. Our specialist team at the Arbor Centre, provide extensive Monitoring, Aftercare and Support services to Public Sector, Commercial, Strata and Residential clients.
When Does Monitoring and Aftercare Support Start?
Our monitoring and aftercare support commences by devising a tailored aftercare program which is specific to the actual site, along with the species, age and size of the tree(s). This is usually done immediately following the transplant/relocation. This aftercare program is designed to provide detailed information for you or to support a subcontractor, in cases where the Arbor Centre are not directly responsible or engaged to carry out ongoing monitoring or support following the transplanting/relocation works.
Is It Ongoing and What Do You Look For?
In order to ensure your tree is thriving in its new environment, we conduct regular scheduled site visits and ongoing reporting to provide feedback on the status or progress of the tree/s. We also keep an eye out for any changes to site conditions or circumstances. These reports will then contain actions and recommendations and again can be used for a subcontractor to incorporate into their current programme.
Our team use the extensive knowledge base and experience that we have in tree transplanting/relocation to identify Tree Performance Indicators (TPI’s) as part of our monitoring activity. There are a range of things that TPI’s can include, such as leaf size, foliage colouration and new root extension. TPI’s also consider the ongoing performance of site conditions and maintenance activities, including watering regimes, soil and nutrition status and mulching etc.
Tree Replacement Warranty
The Arbor Centre have a unique ability to offer an optional tree replacement warranty that is underpinned by our monitoring and aftercare programme. Delivering this post-transplanting/relocation support is integral to the provision of the tree replacement warranty (T&C’s apply). The duration of the warranty (and associated monitoring & aftercare) typically ranges from 3 months, 6 months or1 or more years (and longer in some instances), and is subject to your individual and/or project requirements.
