Decay-Testing, Biology, Bio-Mechanics Workshop

Last Saturday, May 6, Heritage Tree Care Inc. enjoyed attending this excellent workshop organized by ArborCanada.

Thank you, Frank Rinn for discussing tree biology and biomechanics and how breaking forces act on trees in various states of decay. Also, thank you for demonstrating the most advanced technology and basic methods available for decay assessment. 

The main contents of the workshop included the following:

• Wood anatomy and tree-biomechanics.

• Why VTA rules are not appropriate/applicable.

• Why SIA is fundamentally wrong.

• Allometric Self-Referencing and ArboStApp™.

• Diagnostic techniques: sounding (stem & roots), drilling, pulling tests, GPR, . . .

• Practical applicable to mature trees.

• Wind load, pruning, crown cabling.

• Efficient and legally compliant reporting.

The Tree Still Sings

Heritage Tree Care Inc. together with Just be Woodsy presents:

 The Tree Still Sings

 As generations turn and weather patterns intensify, many mature trees are lost in our city. Most of the time, these giant beauties end their lives in the landfill. But not always.

When possible, a dedicated team of arborists and wood specialists collaborate to extract this invaluable urban resource and give it a new life in various forms.

Together Heritage Tree Care and Just Be Woodsy are the specialists behind the scenes.

The process is a full cycle.

For every tree that is cut, one is planted.

This week, Heritage Tree Care has dropped the largest stem in its history.

Snow and shine our Heritage Tree Care team managed to successfully conclude a three-day removal of this gorgeous but very sick Oaktree.

Check out the video and see it for yourself!

Our Jobs Over the Years

During lockdown, we had a chance to go through our old work diaries and have added all the addresses into one map just for the heck of it and to show prospective clients the extent of our experience.

HTC is happily amazed to see the amount of places/addresses/locations we have done tree work across this fine city over the years.

It seems we have High park pretty much entirely covered!.

We look forward to another 14 years and thousands of more properties in which to provide excellent tree care.

Thank you, Toronto!

Plant Appraisal Qualification Course

Last week Heritage Tree Care Inc. attended the Plant Appraisal Qualification Course imparted at Whitby, Ontario.

The course was thorough and interesting. The guide given is a very helpful tool for plant appraisal. In the Urban forestry industry, it is very useful to know how to define reasoned judgments about the value of trees and landscape plants. This helps us to become better arborists.

Starting The Fall with a New Look

We are finally getting our brand visible on the trucks.

Look at these beauties!

Polish Festival 2018 – Competition Winner

Thank you all who participated in the Polish Festival 2018 competition.

We had many guesses

And here is the answer…

Congratulations to Elle Solmaz, the winner of 2018’s Polish Festival Competition. Enjoy your new local wood table!

From the thousands of entries last year, trying to guess how many wooden ‘cookies’ were in our jar there were some that took this very literally…

While others may not have gotten close but gave us a good laugh!

And then there were these guys…

We hope you enjoyed the challenge, and see you in future festivals!
