Preserving Legacy Trees: Arboricultural Strategies for Mature Specimens
Legacy trees are more than landscape features—they are living monuments. These towering oaks, historic beeches, and specimen magnolias have survived decades, sometimes centuries, of change. On estates, campuses, and heritage properties, they provide irreplaceable cultural, ecological, and aesthetic value. At Peer Arboricultural, we specialize in the preservation of these mature trees through scientifically informed, long-term care strategies.
Modern Tree Risk Assessment: Tools, Techniques, and Why It Matters for Estate Trees
On private estates, historic properties, and high-value landscapes, mature trees are often among the most prized living assets. Yet these same trees—magnificent as they are—can pose serious risks if not properly assessed and maintained. Modern arboriculture has evolved far beyond visual inspections; today, expert tree risk assessment is a blend of biology, physics, technology, and long-term strategy.
What is Sonic Tomography?
Sonic tomography is a tool that arborists use to find decay inside trees. The technology uses sound waves to create detailed images of a tree's inner structure.
