Italian Mulberry Installation
We planted this wonderful 4.7 tonne Italian Mulberry in March and it immediately became home to a happy family of Blue Tits! Here in October, the tree is displaying the mellow yellow hues of autumn, before winter dormancy. The vibrant leaf colours occur after a warm, dry summer followed by cool, dry nights. This allows the leaves to stay healthy and produce more sugars for reabsorption. 🌳 Viva albero! 🌳

VETERAN CONSULTANCY & SOLUTIONS
YESTERDAY'S TREE - TODAY'S TREE - TOMORROW'S TREE
We had the privilege of working on The Druids Oak with the City of London Corporation at Burnham Beeches.
Tension on the historic (c40+installation) cable braces (now pulling on deadwood anchor points) led to our recommendation for some intervention to hopefully aid future management. Intervening at this point will allow time for both the tree, and its custodians, to respond to the inevitable failure of the (piano string) tension support from the cable braces. This semi-dynamic, adjustable aid, with the potential for a modular attachment propping system, will (as with any venture into tree management projects) be an interesting project to watch for its future progression and development, over many years to come.
