The Coles Head Office complex in Tooronga has long been held up as one of the finest examples of planter box and on-slab planting in Melbourne. Time and time again, Landscape Architects have given evidence in VCAT, stating that planter box and on-slab planting is possible. The Coles building is often used as the best example in Melbourne. Tree Logic has been involved on this site for several years as the managers come to terms with the decline faced by the site vegetation. Several investigations have linked the cause of this decline to a range of issues but predominately limited soil root zone volumes and poor soil qualities are the issue.
Our suburban landscape and the shift towards higher density living has an overall aesthetic, social and environmental impact on us all. Tree Logic Consultant Glenn Waters believes in trees but objectionable VCAT findings cited in this article prove that not enough known data is being utilised by landscape architects to effect the long term tree growth success on many new developments around the city. So the question is posed... Why plant a tree if it has not enough space to live long term?
Saturday 23 July - Wednesday 27 July For the first time the 2011 ISA Annual Conference and Trade Show is on in Sydney and Tree Logic will be displaying and officially launching their new retail store TreeLogic Tools. treelogictools.com.au will be showcasing our latest arboricultural gear with some fantastic local and international brands such as Smart-Shot Tree Injector, Pelican, US Rigging, Mauget, Weaver and Kong, just to name a few.

In an attempt to increase the numbers of Yarra Gum within their municipality, the Shire of Yarra Ranges in association with Tree Logic, has now embarked on a tree planting program that will see the establishment of 300 advanced plantings of Yarra Gum within various sites. Planting will take place along the Melba Highway, around Lilydale Lake and in various other locations in Coldstream and Yarra Glen. Not widely used outside revegetation works, the species shows promise as an amenity species, particularly in sites prone to waterlogged conditions. The Yarra Gum (Eucalyptus yarraensis) is a rare and threatened species with limited natural distribution, the largest populations are confined primarily to the Yarra Valley between Dixons Creek to the north, Warrandyte in the west, Gruyere to the east and Lilydale in the south (Dept. of Sustainability and Environment 2011). Other scattered occurrences have been reported through central Victoria between Ararat to Traralgon (Brooker & Kleinig 2006). See our Tree of the Season for more information.
