There are many factors that can contribute to the decline in health of our trees and shrubs.  More often our flora is succumbing to pest, disease and nutritional disorders because environmental stress is increasing.   Factors contributing to such stress can include pollution, fragmentation and compaction, and decreases in water and nutrient availability.  Many factors cannot be controlled in the short or long term, leaving professionals with the challenge of how to treat the pest, disease or nutritional disorders that result.  Successful treatments are limited, particularly in the urban landscape where root systems can't often be fertilised or watered.  Many of these trees are highly valued for their shelter, habitat and aesthetics and the loss of these trees can often be very traumatic for community members.  Arborcura is committed to developing techniques to promote healthy trees and encourage vigorous new growth in the urban & rural landscape.
