As I stop for a drink, while I’m risk assessing trees in a park, so are the bees. Bees are super important for the pollination of many trees and food crops. You can help them by leaving water out for them, with things like pebbles or sand piled up in the water that they can walk on to get to the water in this hot weather without drowning.

Today we are undertaking a number of scans using the PICUS Sonic Tomograph at different heights on the trunk of this beautiful old Marri. The tree had numerous great nesting hollows and we are looking to build a picture of the inside of the trunk so we can measure the remaining wall thickness of the trunk and determine how much help the tree needs. # treepreservation # treecare Consultancy

Welcome to this month’s feature in our Tree of the Month series! This July, we’re delighted to highlight the Chinese Tallow Tree, scientifically known as Triadica sebifera. With its striking foliage and multifaceted uses, this tree is a remarkable specimen worth celebrating!🍃🍂

Fun Fact: Originating from eastern Asia, the Chinese Tallow Tree has a fascinating history. It was introduced to Australia for its ornamental value and potential agricultural benefits. Today, it is appreciated for its aesthetic appeal, although it also requires careful management due to its invasive nature in certain regions. 🌳

The Chinese Tallow Tree is more than just a pretty face. Its seeds contain a waxy substance historically used in soap and candle making. The wood is also utilised for its lightweight and easily workable nature! 🕯️🫧🍃
