Veteran Tree Care

Veteran and ancient trees are those in their later stages of life. The tree health care needed will vary from tree to tree. Tree surgery is just one of a variety of techniques available to care for older trees.

Some alternative options for tree health care are:

• Air spading
• Bracing
• Mulching
• Management of veteran pollards, while in regular cutting cycle
• Land management
• Risk management for older trees, which may result in minimal pruning

Old trees are incredibly important. They have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and link us to past history and provide important habitat for fungi and animals.

Ancient trees are often home to rare species of plants and animals, providing a great ecological value. The Ancient Tree Inventory exists to track these trees so they can be monitored and their value preserved for as long as possible.
