How do I locate an arborist in Melbourne, Victoria to tell if my alder tree has been poisoned by a neighbour?

Question

Trees are about 25 yrs old, neighbour requested their removal (too much shade). Trees are protected in this area as valuable amenities, I refused. Now they are dead. Very suspicious. Worth pursuing?

Answer 1

Yes, most defiantly. Try contacting a trained and certified Arborist here at: http://www.tree-care.com.au/

There philosophy: "For an arborist, the death of a tree is something which happens only after he or she has made every effort to save it. The arborist believes that the true value of a tree equals the amount of enjoyment we may derive from a tree's beauty and an appreciation for it as a fellow living being."
