🌿 May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month 🌿

Lyme disease cases are on the rise in Canada as ticks become more active during the spring and summer months. 🦠

Protect yourself and your loved ones by wearing long sleeves, using insect repellent, and checking for ticks after spending time outdoors. Early detection is key to preventing serious complications.

Let’s spread awareness and keep our communities safe! 💚

A beautiful spring scene is unfolding as a carpet of bluebells stretches beneath these mature trees. Early bloomers like these thrive before the canopy fills in, taking advantage of the sunlight reaching the forest floor. It’s a great reminder of how timing and proper tree and shrub care work together to support a healthy, balanced landscape. Thanks to Arborist Representative Ryan Coulas of Bartlett Tree Experts- Ottawa for capturing this seasonal moment.

🌿 We had a great time at the 2026 Green Trade Expo!

Our arborists Mat Levesque and Ryan Coulas represented our team with a booth at the show, and it was fantastic connecting with so many vendors and professionals from across the green industry. Events like this are always a great opportunity to share knowledge, learn about new innovations, and strengthen relationships within our community.

A special shoutout to Ryan, who put his plant knowledge to the test and won the Plant ID contest hosted by one of the nurseries at the event! 🌳🏆 It’s always great to see the depth of knowledge our arborists bring to the table.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat—we’re already looking forward to next year!

Different tree and shrub species have different ways of enduring winter weather.
Rhododendrons have a curious strategy in which the leaves curl into a tube and droop down when the weather gets cold. It can look alarming, but the leaves themselves remain quite green, pliable, and very much alive. The rolling up of rhododendron leaves is a survival mechanism called thermonasty, which is when a plant or plant part moves as a response to temperature change.
There’s been a lot of speculation around this behavior and why it is so effective for rhododendrons. It may reduce the load of snow or ice or keep leaves from drying out. It could also be related to photosynthesis. Rhododendrons are an understory plant and now that the deciduous overstory is bare, and the winter sun is lower in the sky, the plant is receiving more sunlight than it needs. The leaves may curl up to, in a way, avoid or at least limit photosynthesis.
From a plant health perspective, there are effective ways to supplement this strategy and help your rhododendron navigate winter.
Watering in the fall as well as applying a thin layer of mulch are both great practices to help rhododendrons, and all broadleaf evergreens, get through the cold weather.
