| Tree Surgeon/Aborist |
|
A tree surgeon is a professional who helps to repair trees, improve their appearance and protect them from the spread of fungi, insects and tree-based diseases. A tree surgeon is similar to (and in many cases may be identical with) an arborist, one who is responsible for managing and caring for amenity trees (i.e. trees which improve the appearance and value of a property). The work done by tree surgeons and arborists is known as arboriculture, and besides tree surgery they offer tree removal, tree planting and other tree services.

One of the most common situations in which tree surgery is required is when a storm, violent winds, or the weight of fallen snow cause the limb of a tree to break off partially but not completely. The broken limb may be unsightly and depending on the surroundings it may pose a threat to people's safety (in the event that it breaks or that children try to climb on it, etc.) or to property (if it is hanging over windows or roofs). Tree surgery is required to properly remove the limb from the tree and dispose of it without causing any further damage.

Tree surgeons are also often called upon in cases of stump removal. Stump removal / tree removal is harder than it may appear at first glance. Stumps have root systems which can be extensive; these root systems may intertwine with the roots of other nearby plants or may be curled around underground structures. As a result, this type of tree care service requires planning, digging and cutting, after which the hole must be properly filled so that it does not collapse later on or leave an unattractive gap in the yard.

Arboriculture also involves preventing insects, diseases, fungi and other parasites from damaging trees. If a fungus has spread to a tree on your property, arborists can provide tree care which includes determining the full spread of the problem, removing any limbs which are beyond saving, and treating the exposed surfaces of the tree (as well as any open gaps) with antiseptics and healing substances so that additional threats to the health of the tree do not arise. An arborist's tree service may also include pruning, tending to a variety of other plants in the area, and implementing an overall plan of planting and maintenance.
