Arboriculturalists, also known as arborists, are usually referred to as tree surgeons
and are professionals who practice arboriculture, the management and maintenance of trees. Trees create attractive visual
landscapes and also provide many other environmental benefits.
But they can also become very large, heavy and complex and require professional care from time to
time to keep them healthy and guard against collapse, especially in strong winds.
An arborist's work may include some or all of
the following:
Planting,
pruning, structural support, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and tree removal. Arborists may also carry out inspections,
often requiring them to physically climb the trees, using ropes, harnesses and other safety equipment.
Tree work is hard work, skilled
and potentially very dangerous. That’s why it is always a good idea to consult a professional rather than attempting
to carry out work yourself.
In addition, tree surgery needs to be carried out by people who understand what they’re doing
and why. A good arboriculturalist is also artistic and can see how to prune the tree to leave it not only healthy and
sound, but also as visually appealing as possible for the species and situation.
