Tree Tech are the leading arboricultural and tree care company in Cairns, in northern Queensland.  A recent job with them featured into trees climber Joe Harris flying up to Cairns for the weekend, to help with the installation of a complex bracing system in a large Alstonia scholaris.  The tree was situated in a very public, high-target environment, and it was decided to use YaleBrace to protect against the risk of limb drop, in particular during a potential cyclone.
