Tree Minutes

November 1, 2023

Now that fall is here and you’re out in the yard raking leaves and doing fall clean up, take some tree minutes and assess your trees for hazards and overall health. Here are a few things you should look for:

Most evergreens and deciduous trees have some form of deadwood in them, so don’t worry. When the top is dying or in decline, that is when it should be addressed. Other signs to watch out for are: insect activity, woodpeckers, and conk.

Conk is a mushroom – like growth on the tree, usually near the bottom or up one side. If conk is present, it should be looked at by one of our professionals. Other forms of hazards are multiple tops which are 2 or more, “widow makers”, which are hanging dead branches or tops, If you are unsure of any of these problems, please call us for a free estimate.

Hello Everyone,

Spring is just around the corner, and soon you will be out on a warm sunny weekend cleaning up after this past long winter. It is now time to take some Tree Minutes to assess your trees and shrubs.

After the winter storms, there may be some broken limbs or tops hanging in the trees, or a lot of dead fall in the yard. It is important to have a good look around for these potential problems. Also, it is time to prune your fruit trees, clean up your hedges from snow damage, and trim any out-of-shape shrubs. If you have any questions or need some advice regarding yard work, give us a call for a Free estimate so we can get your yard on the right path to looking great for Spring.
