The Treeman

🌲Now is a good time to get new trees into the ground before the spring flush.
When you spend money buying a tree, it makes sense to plant it correctly from the very start to give it the best chance to thrive.
If you need help, we do planting too, or learn how to do it properly here
https://www.thetreeman.co.nz/how-to-plant-trees/

Does your tree have a tear, split, or broken branch?
Remedial action can vastly improve the recovery time and the continued survival of a tree after a break, so it's important to tidy the wound allowing the tree to heal quickly.
If you need help give us a call.

Like this Tui, we felt the cold this morning too.
It's the price we pay for a stunning clear winters day to be out working on and in the trees.

Are you feeling as chilly as this tūī looks?

Are possums damaging your trees or using them to access your warm roof space?
There is a way to outsmart them.
We can help by installing possum guards on your specimen tree.

Great opportunity to give back if you have some time and very cool to go back and see how it looks a few years later.

This is such a well-deserved win.. a pretty cool tree that is still standing or walking too 😀, despite the odds.

We are thrilled to announce The Walking Tree as the 2024 Tree of the Year New Zealand! 🌳

This northern rātā (Metrosideros robusta), near Karamea Cemetery, won the hearts of New Zealanders. With its twin trunks stretched as if in mid-stride – and seemingly wearing high heels – this tree is a striking natural wonder. Its resemblance to one of Tolkien’s sentient, tree-like Ents has earned it the affectionate nickname, The Walking Tree.

Nominated by Bryan Bell, The Walking Tree received over 42% of the votes!

The northern rātā is one of New Zealand’s tallest flowering trees. Surprisingly, it begins life as an epiphyte growing high in the forest canopy upon another host tree. Over time, its roots reach the ground, and it eventually envelops the original host.

Northern rātā can live for up to 1,000 years, and it remains a mystery just how long this windswept walker has been strutting its stuff north of Karamea.

Thank you to our sponsor Delta Utility Services, partner NZ Notable Trees Trust, and everyone who participated in Tree of the Year New Zealand 2024.

We had the pleasure of working on these extremely tall palms yesterday. 🌴
We gave them a tidy-up to remove the dead fronds and reduce any risk of them falling and hurting anyone.
It was a big day for the team and an awesome job.
If your palms need a tidy-up, give us a call.

Our arborists are responding to emergencies and trying to deal with damage as soon as we can.
Great work Brodie and Vince for getting this tree off the cars and the house without any further damage.

If you have any issues with your trees during the bad weather we are here to help.🌲🌩
Fallen trees do present an added risk and unpredictability when branches are under tension and compression.
If you are worried about the safety of your tree and want it checked give us a call?

🌲Now is a good time to check your trees aren't too close to powerlines.
Losing power in strong winds or rain from trees on the lines could mean long delays in having your power reinstated.🌩
Your trees are your responsibility, so if you need help to achieve good clearance from the lines, give us a call.
We're happy to help.

When you have a tree blocking precious light but you want the privacy it provides, a skilled arborist can give you both.
Strategic pruning or even a crown lift can make a huge difference to the amount of light penetrating your garden or house.

If you have a large tree to remove, you need qualified and experienced arborists.
We can help you with that!
This tree had an inclusion near the base and was likely to snap out in poor weather, so the client said it had to go.
Vince, Troy, and Boxer did a great job with no damage to the garden or concrete driveway, and a very happy client.

Does your Palm look scruffy with dead fronds hanging from the trunk?
Not only are they ugly, but they also harbour many pests and are a fire hazard. When they eventually fall, they can damage property and people. Some even have nasty toxic spikes.
If you are not confident removing the fronds yourself, then give us a call.
We can help you with that.

When a tree starts to “bleed” it's essentially weeping sap or resin from its bark in response to an injury or stress.
Bleeding is a natural and beneficial process that can help a tree heal and protect itself, but excessive or persistent bleeding can indicate a problem.

👂🌲The edible Jelly Ear Fungus (Auricularia auricula judae ) plays a crucial role in decomposing dead wood. If it’s on your specimen tree, it may not be good news, and the stability of the tree will become compromised.
As arborists, we can help assess potential risks.

Is your citrus tree looking like this?
It's caused by sap-sucking insects and their excrement!
This dark, powdery fungus not only detracts from the tree's appearance but also impedes photosynthesis, potentially hindering growth and fruit production.
