Students Tackle Tree Care
Our Tree Fellers Arbor Care team was thrilled to connect with Horticulture Program students at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School last month. Over twenty students and multiple faculty members joined forces with the Tree Fellers crew to A) identify issues with young campus trees struggling to thrive, and B) provide corrective services to assist those trees in re-establishing healthy roots and growing with structural integrity.
We split into groups where students learned and practiced three important plant healthcare related services:
Performing 'root collar excavation' using an AirSpade, tending girdled roots, removing excess mulch and grass from the root flare, and adding mycorrhizal soil amendments to the root zone.
