🍁 Fun Fact Friday!

While leaves may be dropping, your trees’ roots are still working hard. In fact, fall is when roots absorb the most nutrients, making it the best season to fertilize.

🌳 A slow-release fertilizer applied in fall helps build stronger roots, fight off disease, and encourage lush growth in the spring!

✂️ Why prune in fall?

When trees go dormant, their energy shifts from leaf growth to strengthening their roots. That makes it the perfect time to shape and improve their structure. Dormant pruning removes weak, dead, or hazardous branches before winter storms can bring them down. Come spring, your trees will look better, grow stronger, and thrive with healthier new growth!

🌳 Hot Weather Tip: How Much Should You Water a New Tree? 💦

Newly planted trees need extra TLC in the summer heat! 🌞

Here’s the rule of (green) thumb:
10 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter, 2–3 times per week.
Example: Do you have a 2-inch tree? That’s 20 gallons of water per watering session!

Here are some helpful watering tips:
✅ Water early in the morning.
✅ Slow and deep soaking is best.
✅ Mulch helps retain moisture (but keep it away from the trunk).

Overwatering is just as harmful as underwatering, so let the soil dry slightly between soakings. 🌱

Need help keeping your trees healthy through the heat? Our certified arborists are just a call away!

🐍 Did you know snakes can climb trees?

Our Charlotte trimmer, Franklin Reyes, captured this incredible photo of a snake resting in an arborvitae. While it may surprise some, many snake species are excellent climbers and will use trees and shrubs for shelter, hunting, or basking.

This is a great reminder of the importance of thorough inspections during tree care — not just for the health of the tree, but for the safety of the crew.
