Our Systems Approach to Tree Health
Professional Attention to Mature Trees
Dynamic Tree Systems recognizes the value of mature trees in the landscape. We provide our customers with services that address the long term health of those mature trees. Such services are especially useful for those with low tolerance of risk, such as land owners who appreciate the value in established trees and the organization or municipality who has liability concerns about trees. All the activities that are detailed in the services section of this web site are based on our systems approach to tree health.
Trees Are Dynamic Systems
Trees are complex organisms that interact with surrounding systems. Considered individually, each mature tree is a system of trunk, roots, and branches developed over years to support its life at that location. The tree also connects to its locale by the soil/plant interface, arguably the most important relationship in tree health.
Trees are dynamic systems in that modifications to one part affect every other, whether it be changes to the canopy, weakening of trunk or limbs, or damage to the roots. Change may have been from direct actions of individuals, such as pruning or activities near the tree. Significant changes from long-established conditions can affect a mature tree's ability to remain healthy and/or structurally sound. Our understanding of the tree as a system guides our philosophy of modern tree care.
Risk Evaluation
Woody decay fungi could be at work within a seemingly healthy tree with little or no signs or symptoms. Whether caused by decay, stress, or activities such as nearby construction, it's imperative that compromised health and any increased risk be analyzed and defined.
Dynamic Tree Systems has introduced to New York the tree care industry's innovative Tree Radar Unit (TRU). Using the TRU to evaluate tree interiors and root systems, we produce vastly improved data which guide our care recommendations and action plans. Our ability to get a detailed picture of a tree's condition using noninvasive methods gives you the benefit of well-informed decision making on mature tree health and risk exposure.
Establishing Trees Within Your Ecosystem
Trees depend on proper placement into a supportive location for healthy development. Many property owners currently do not enjoy mature trees at their sites and plan new plantings in rural or urban developments. We view these as opportunities to plant future specimen value trees that will best utilize the available resources.
Through proper site analysis and species selection, coupled with awareness that tree health is a function of relationships between site and plant, we can locate the right plant in the right place. Our services include consulting on upcoming construction projects for tree choice and location, as well as mature tree preservation during construction projects.
