Services Rendered:

1. Remove dead branches. Cut large sections as furniture to place in an arc inside the dripline, to separate the mulched area from the mowed area.
Chip small branches and spread as mulch. Clear weedy undergrowth and construct trail, highlighting key plants and features.

2. Measure height of tree by tape drop. Measure spread and diameter, and nominate tree as Florida and National Champion. Compare present state and national champions and other notable live oaks.

3. Inventory epiphytes and parasites on the tree, and symbionts and allelopaths on the ground, coordinating with UF and local experts. Videotape the climbing and the collection.

4. Inspect crown and assess health and safety conditions.

Bill Howe of treevvorld.info gets ready to head up the Fairchild Oak Tree in Bulow Creek State Park in Ormond Beach on Saturday. The tree is between 300-500 years old and stands more than 85 feet high. Crews from area tree services came out to volunteer and clean up the tree to keep it healthy.
