Tree Chiefs

Oak trees provide one of the warmest, long-burning logs and traditionally the firewood wood of choice for the Christmas Yule log.

In Scotland, birch was often favoured and in France, a cherry log may be more available. A Yule log is a specially selected large log that will burn a long time to produce a generous amount of heat and light. It could even be partially burned on each of the 12 days of Christmas, and symbolises the desire for the summer sun to return bringing warmth and light.

The tradition of having a chocolate cake made in the shape of a log (Bûche De Noël), and decorated with candles, originated in the 1800s in France – but is equally enjoyable over the festive season.

Our assignment, echoed by most tree owners, is to apply arboricultural approaches to maintain stability, sustain contributions, and extend longevity.

Restoration pruning follows trees’ tendencies to optimally harvest
sunlight, which along with soil improvement can produce upward
spirals of recovery.

Trees are resilient; after all, they grow in urban
soils and air, surviving damage from saws, storms, and the strains
and insults of aging and living with people.

By discovering and collaborating with trees’ abilities to sustain themselves, we can meet our challenge: To facilitate the coexistence of people and trees, one branch at a time.

Calling all primary-school poets!

Do you like rhythms and rhymes, breaking up
Sentences in weird
And un-
Predictable ways?



Or do you like crafting a story, that flows from line to line
Like a river in the African jungle?
