Veteran Tree Management

“Veteran trees are more frequent in Great Britain than
in many other parts of Europe”

VETERAN TREE MANAGEMENT

'veteran tree care' generally includes old trees but also younger, middle aged trees where premature aging characteristics are present. A Veteran tree is usually in a mature stage of its life and could have hollowing or associated decay fungi; holes; wounds and large dead branches.

SKILLFULL CHAINSAW USE

Veteran tree characteristics are important to wildlife and habitat. When pruning these trees fracture and coronet cuts can be to used to maximise these wound surfaces. These skills involve very skillful chainsaw use, something that our tree surgeons are no stranger to.
