Currently there are over one hundred large trees
A specialist squad will work in the care and preservation of individual trees of great size of the municipality.
The Board of Governors has approved the tender for contract inspection and if necessary remediation of large specimens of trees municipal ownership.
For this service we need to hire a company specializing in this type of pruning as it requires some specific techniques to preserve and revitalize the specimens.
The contractor, to maintain health and good looks of the tree, prune the branches first diseased, damaged or dead, in order to prevent infection by wood decay fungi in the tree that could penetrate this way.
The removal of live branches and healthy would be justified only to clarify the cup, allowing the entry of light and air, when very thick to compensate for the loss of roots, to fit the tree by removing branches or misdirected cross and revitalize older or less vigorous trees.
Drastic pruning should be avoided because it severely reduces the leaf surface potential, can weaken the tree and make it more susceptible to infections.
To perform these tasks will require a climbing equipment, tools and machinery pruning, transmission and vehicle transport of personnel and material.
