Tree Care Advice
Many tree problems can be reduced by regular observation and simple aftercare. Young trees are particularly vulnerable while their roots are becoming established, and they may need extra support during hot or dry weather.
If you notice a tree that appears damaged, diseased, loose, vandalised or unsafe, it should be reported so it can be inspected by the appropriate team.
