Whilst summer is the most popular season for tree pruning there are many benefits to pruning in the winter too when the trees are dormant. 🌳 Regular pruning throughout the year will encourage a longer lasting and healthier tree. 🍃 Dormant trees will have shed most or all of their leaves meaning better visibility for a more precise cut. 🍃 Winter pruning is also an opportune time to have your trees inspected for any disease or weakness 🌱 Dormant pruning can stimulate growth through the removal of dead or wounded branches. Tree species known to benefit from an end-of-year haircut include Maple, Birch, Poplar, Cedar and Holly. Our team of professional, qualified arborists have years of experience in tree-related services, and have top-of-the-range equipment necessary to ensure that trees on your property are inspected, pruned and maintained to the highest, safest standard. #LandscapeServices #Arboriculture #Aborist #TreeMaintenance #TreePruning #Pruning #OperationalExcellence #Kent

Halloween and Agriculture   What do they have in common - the scarecrow!   A traditional autumn decoration, the scarecrow is often seen at this time of year depicted as a straw-stuffed man wearing farming overalls (looking a little scary admittedly). They’re also a popular and favoured Halloween costume scaring more than just the birds away.   It’s believed Greek farmers created the first scarecrows over 2,500 years ago to protect their crops. The scarecrow continued throughout the ages in various guises to scare away the crows and other pests from farming land.    Today, there are other methods of keeping crops free from pests but it’s good to still see the humble scarecrow live on as Halloween costumes and mascots of autumn harvest festivals. We imagine we will see a few trick or treating scarecrows at the end of this month. #ScarecrowScares #HarvestScarecrow #AutumnAgriculture #HalloweenHarvest #FarmingScarecrow #HarvestSeason #SpookyScarecrow #ScarecrowStyle #pestcontrol #fieldscarecrow #naturalpestcontrol

🍇 In Australia, Vineyard Pests Can Be Downright Adorable—or Deadly Australia is renowned for its unique fauna, ranging from adorable to deadly. These creatures are a common sight across the country, including in vineyards. While Australian wine growers face familiar pests like deer, foxes, and rabbits, it's the native wildlife that presents unique challenges and fascinating solutions. 🦘 Kangaroos and wallabies, Australia's iconic marsupials, often damage vineyards by destroying sprinklers, fences, and tender vine shoots. Viticulturist Liz Riley from Hunter Valley uses old netting to block these animals. Some growers resort to culling, though others prefer non-lethal methods like wildlife corridors and alternative feeding areas. 🐾 Wombats, native to southern and eastern Australia, create significant problems with their burrowing. Viticulturist Dan Sergeant from Victoria's Yarra Valley and Kate Nickels from Fogarty Wine Group recount how wombat tunnels can damage equipment. Despite these issues, many growers, like Jenny Kelly of Kellybrook Winery, go to great lengths to protect and treat these animals. 🦜 Parrots, with over 50 species in Australia, pose a major challenge as they eat grapes and shoots. Wine growers like Kyatt Dixon from South Australia's Mount Gambier region and Colleen Miller from Mérite Wines employ various deterrents like gas guns and scarecrows. In Hunter Valley, Liz Riley uses clay sprays to delay netting. Timing of native marri tree flowering in Margaret River also affects bird activity in vineyards. 🦔 Other creatures like echidnas and snakes also inhabit vineyards. Echidnas, while mostly harmless and beneficial, can be problematic when they burrow near irrigation systems. Snakes, such as tiger and red-bellied black snakes, pose a danger to vineyard workers. However, encounters are rare and snakes generally avoid human contact. #AustralianWildlife #Viticulture #WineIndustry #SustainableFarming #WildlifeManagement
