Great Trav, looks hot though

 

Is Brazil your place of Birth?

 

Are you doing treework most days?

[David oakman]

I have got a 1883 forestry book and the victorians when transplanting used to dig round half the tree cutting all roots fill back up with compost,in the next year do the next half. Then lift the following year and the root system will be a mass of fibous roots and the trees nearly allways survived. plenty of cheap labour then.

Ola tudo bom!

 

Em que parte 'e que vives? Eu sou meio Portugues/ Ingles. How hard is the language, can you speak and read already? The pic you posted looks like its forestry operation than amenity work, is that right? Im quite suprised that theres arb work in brazil apart from forestry of course, for example in Portugal its a very small industry even dough theres lots of trees.

 

What type of trees are those in the fotos, and what is the wood for?

 

Take care and hope to hear frolm you soon.

 

 

Bye

The wood loaded on the trucks get sold to ceramic brick factorys for fire wood.

 

The tree with the climber (which is me)in the pic is a ficus elsatica which is a monster of a fig tree that they have here.

 

All the pics are of local domestic tree work, there are plenty of trees that get cut in Brazil both urban and of course forestry but there is not a large culture for tree care work or not many people care to much about trees and there are almost no qualified tree workers so the quality of work is quite poor but its on the way up hopefully.

nice place to work, although pretty roasting at times. you been much of brazil yet? can recommend isla grande

[Trav013]

Yeah it gets hot mate and rains alot in the summer which cools things down a bit so it ok. Ilha grande havent been there but it has a great reputation, alot of tourist I think out on the lsland.
