Specifying the full ArborSystem® ensured product compatibility and that above ground finish was not compromised. The new centre opened in Spring 2020, creating 70 new jobs in the area and bringing the centre up to the same standard as its other stores. Another successful urban tree planting project that will ensure these trees create a lasting legacy.
