Spring time in Coromandel see's the arrival of the equinox winds & some very unsettled weather. Last Friday Northern Coromandel was hit by 50knot winds & torrential rain which definitely sent a few trees down.
We've had calls for help with the clean up from Thames to Port Charles with most of the damage being in Little Bay, Tuateawa, Colville & north. There have been some very large trees down & a few near misses for some very lucky people. This season though has shown us that even large trees in good health can succumb. In all of the large tree incidents this week it's been the ground beneath the tree that's failed. This would have made these events very hard, for any arborist to predict in tree reports & safety assessments. But, we've learned a lot from this & when it comes to trees growing from shallow substrate atop rock & clay, anything can happen. Get your local Coromandel arborist round to assess your trees. We're currently up & down the peninsula pruning, felling, removing & cleaning up trees. This week we'll be in Tuateawa, Little bay, Colville, Waikawau, port Charles & northern Coromandel. Here are a couple images of trees fallen & blown over in the recent weather. Stay safe out there people.
