Lichen!

With a range of colours and forms, the presence of lichen on a tree is a sign of clean healthy air and that it has no negative impact on the growth of the tree.

An epiphyte (a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant), lichens are unlikely to kill a tree, or cause it to fail. Lichens are not parasitic and do not draw nutrients from the tree.

Lichens need sunlight for photosynthesis, so they don't thrive in heavy shade. Consequently, they are typically found on deciduous trees or trees that are already dying, as these conditions provide less leaf cover in the canopy, allowing more light to reach the lichens.

While it is normal and natural for lichen to be present on a tree, an abundance of lichen might suggest that the tree is experiencing some form of stress.

Trees planted too close?
Trees that are too big?
Trees with branches overhanging the gutter and rooflines?

Pruning to reduce the size, height, and proximity to houses, buildings, gutters, roofs and drains not only helps to prevent excess debris from entering these drainage systems, it also promotes healthier tree growth and overall aesthetic appeal in preparation for next season.

Save yourself the hassle of clearing clogged gutters and drains in future.

Check out this Oak!

Melissa Thompson from The Tree People

The client was also having difficulty walking underneath the tree to mow the lawns and the branches interfered with them sitting at their outdoor table setting at the base of the tree.

We performed the following techniques so the client could once again get enjoyment from their tree, and the tree got a good dose of love and attention.

Crown lift - we removed the lower branches to provide for better clearance and access underneath for walking, mowing, and sitting under. We also lifted the canopy clear of and over the boundary fences to limit any future potential damage to these, and removed the branches that were overhanging the neighbours.

Crown reduction - we reduced the overall size of the canopy as it was quite large and the client was concerned about risk of failure and the amount of sunlight it was blocking.

Crown thin - we thinned out the internal canopy which improves air flow that reduces air resistance, and allows sunlight to penetrate through the branches.

Crown shape - we removed excess branches to improve the overall appearance by giving it more form and balance, ensuring an evenly weighted canopy.

All of these practices can promote the health, safety and appearance of your trees for years to come.
