Tree Root Trimming


You may notice behind the 7th, 12th, 13th and 16th greens an area which we have run a trencher through. We have suspected that tree roots have been entering the green and competing for water and nutrients which has been disadvantaging the Novotek in areas. This was confirmed last week when we found a small tree root in the back of 12 approximately 50mm from the surface. What we didn't expect today after running the trencher through were just how many roots there were around 2 inches below the surface.

We hope this will assist in the management of
these greens during the wet season.
