Arbor Vitae - Trees for Life

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Revegetate I am growing trees for life. I work as an Arborist in an urban environment and to keep my life karmically balanced, I set about supplying and planting trees for anybody with a passion to plant and look after them. Tall trees in the urban environment are a declining resource. Birds need them. They are good for shade and to reduce our reliance on uranium to heat and cool our homes.

Revegetation by Dr T - Tree Surgeon


How do you like My Arborist's Dozen.
An Arborist's Dozen = 15, because you can never have too many trees.
My upbringing in Saint Marys, Adelaide, South Australia in a family-owned wholesale nursery on the suburban quarter acre block was my introduction to backyard tree production.
What a great way to recycle milk cartons. I wash the containers straight after use and then cut holes in the four bottom corners. I have been experimenting with the size of the holes and any size seems fine at this stage. In 2006 I am growing Eucalyptus sideroxylon - Red Ironbark, Ginkgo biloba - Ginkgo, Araucaria heterophylla - Norfolk Island Pine, self sown endemic Eucalyptus camaldulensis - River Red Gum, various Cedar and Pine and Spruce species suitable as Christmas trees. Will keep you updated with photos as they take shape. Currently growing stock for 'Bonza' trees in Ceramic pots.
