Ep.190 Assessing tree health & safety - Gary Moran (Treeside Arboricultural Consultancy)
Manage episode 397965620 series 2804673
Do you know how to assess a tree's health and safety? And do you know how to do so in a systematic way to ensure you don't miss any major clues?
This episode is designed to teach non-arborists within the landscape and horticulture sector what to look for when inspecting trees. What signs tell us that a tree is doing well? And what signs tell us we need to contact an AQF Level 5 consulting arborist for a closer look?
Starting at the ground and surrounding environment, moving up the trunk, and out toward the branch tips, there are a number of things to check to ensure our trees are heading in the right direction.

Ozbreed root rot treatment trial. https://www.ozbreed.com.au/summary-plants-in-various-wet-feet-conditions/
- Trial tested root rot treatments on Tanika Lomandra longifolia, known for thriving in dry slopes and flat areas and temperate wet, but struggling in humid, wet conditions. The trial year was humid, the soil extra wet and Phytpothera was present.
- 8 plants were in each treatment. Agri-Fos treatment resulted in 0% survival, indicating ineffectiveness against root rot diseases in Tanika. Control group showed a 25% survival rate, while Phyto guard and Rhizovital treatment had a 62.5% survival rate.
- For humid wet soils with root rot diseases, treating Tanika Lomandra longifolia with 1 g/L Phyto guard and 4 mL/L Rhizovital increases survival rate
