Tree Logic love the aesthetics of a tree. They also want trees to be protected from the damage that our possums and other critters can cause. Here lay a dilemma. "Possum Guards are made from materials such as clear polypropelene and colourbond steel and even though they can be effective they interfere with the natural beauty of a tree" Director Stephen Frank said.

This view has prompted the development of an innovative new product by Tree Logic called Tree Skin. The new Tree Logic Skin is printed with an image similar to the bark of the tree which visually blends the guard into the trunk retaining a harmony with the natural surrounds.

Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm)

If your task was to move a 14 metre wide by 6 metre high tree and you were unable to use a crane because of high voltage power-lines would you give up? Many would - but not the determined Dave Balsamo and team. Here’s the hot tip. It is definitely easier to move house than to move a large tree. The 26 year old treasured English Oak (Quercus robur) journey began last year when Tree Logic was engaged by Caroline and Don Hume to move the tree from the entrance of their property in Farm Road, Werribee to the garden bed immediately outside their house. The land was to be subdivided and they wanted to ensure the future of their much loved tree. Tree Logic prepared the root ball and pruned the tree in July 2006 and in the summer following assisted the Hume's maintaining of the tree. Carbohydrate drenches were employed on the root ball of the tree to promote root initiation and elongation. That was the easy part. Next came the actual move in August this year and the realisation that a crane could not be used to move this beauty. Determined to find a solution, Dave and his team tapped into much creativity and a bit of early Xmas spirit. The tree's root ball was framed, lifted, placed on a sled and moved 600 meters to its new location.

Tree Logic is providing the initial establishment maintenance including carbohydrate drenches, and has developed an establishment maintenance program that will be delivered by the Hume's over the next three years to ensure the tree's health and future prosperity. Dave is contemplating starting his own human dog sled team! Well done.
