On for tonight's tree talk Thursday is the horse chestnut also known as the buckeye tree. The first fun fact about the horse chestnut is that it is not actually a chestnut tree but is part of the maple family! The nuts and leaves sure do look like chestnuts though. This is not a native tree to north America hailing from the Balkan area from Greece and turkey and the areas north of there.
These trees can grow to be 120 feet but I have never seen one in new England more than 60 feet tall this one here being one of the larger ones I have found. They make for a great edge of the yard tree with large beautiful flowers in the spring the wood is fairly strong but the spike covered nuts can be a pain to clean up each fall. The nuts can be toxic to eat BUT you can make an eco friendly laundry detergent with them it is so cool that there is a use for just about every tree.
If you ever need help with tree ID or want to know what is going on with your tree or what would be a good tree to plant in an area of your yard feel free to give us a call at 4133255985 or follow or page to learn more about trees !

The things that trees can do and keep on growing continues to impress me even after almost two decades of working with them. This is a sugar maple that enveloped an iron railing over the last 40 years. Now trees will not always do this but they can under the right circumstances, those being that if the part of the tree does not move to much to often due to wind or other environmental factors this is why it is more common lower to the ground. if the tree moves to much it will rub causing scaring and preventing the tree from basically grafting around the item. In some cases you can actually find when trees will graft to each other ! This tree was removed due to rot in the leaders higher up than where the photo was taken. I will say we will not be sending anyone out to grind this stump though.

On tonight's episode of tree talk Thursday we have the catalpa tree!
these wonderful trees are native to the Mississippi river valley but have been planted all over north America for many years due to there large and beautiful flowers they produce. They are also very fast growers able to fill in a baren area rather quickly they can grow up to 20 feet in about 10 years. Now like most fast growing trees the wood is rather weak so it would not be advised to plant these close to your house, also due to their very cool and very large seed pods they make a huge mess so they are best planted near the edge of lawn where it can be safe and easy to clean up. I know that bird watching is a rather popular hobby these days and catalpa trees make for great bird habitat due to large leaves and dense foliage.
The wood is a beautiful light brown and being a softer wood is great for carving bowls another thing that we do here at nartowicz tree service. So if you have one of these cool trees and are a bit worried about it growing over your house feel free to give us a call at 4133255985. Also if you like to learn about trees give our page a follow as we like to talk about trees bugs and mushrooms of new England!

should you fill the hole in your tree with concrete? the short answer is no! While this is more common knowledge today from around 1900 till around the 1970s this was a fairly common thing to do. Over my many years of doing tree work I have seen this and i will say it has been rather cool and interesting to see how the science of arboriculture has evolved and grown over the last 100 years. I have seen trees with brick walls installed inside them, as time as moved on this is something i see less and less of. The reason that filling your trees cavities with solid concrete is a bad idea is because trees move and concrete does not causing more damage to the tree and not allowing the tree to grow new wood around the wound on the inside of the tree.
In recent years people moved to filling cavities with foam this is also a bad idea as it traps moister causing fungus to grow and the wood to rot.
What do you do when there is a hole in your tree then you might ask? The best thing to do if you are concerned about damage that you have found with your tree is to call an arborist or tree service that can come out and inspect the tree for you. Most of the time the tree knows about the damage and will work to compartmentalize the problem and grow new wood to compensate for the issue as trees have evolved over many years to deal with this issue

crane work has become a huge part of tree work over the last 10 years. It provides a safe and productive way to remove hazard trees from around or over your house. This style of tree removal also greatly reduces lawn damage. We have been doing crane removals for years and have the expertise needed to safely take care of your trees.

Finding wildlife while doing tree work is a fairly common occurrence; sometimes we run across it in abundance like on friday when we had 12 flying squirrels! Kyle is a bit of a naturalist and will do everything in his power to protect wildlife while safely removing or trimming your trees.
From saving animals to being them to a rehab to saving cats from trees we have been caring about wild life and trees for almost two decades

It is tree talk Thursday again!
this week we are going to talk about ash trees.
ash trees have been growing in north America for at least 40 million years but have come under a massive threat over the last couple of decades from this tiny bug called the emerald ash borer. These bugs once they move in to an area can kill between 90-99% of the ash in that area in around 10 years. This is why everyone has noticed these trees dying all around our area over the last 3 to 4 years. With the boom in population of these bugs over the last couple of years there really is not much that can be done to save the ash trees.
It is best to remove these trees as soon as they start to show signs of "blonding" as you can see in one of these photos the bark will be removed and you will start to see piles of bark at the bottom of the tree. This damage is not from the bugs themselves but from wood peckers going after them so by the time you see the damage it is already to late to do anything to save the tree.
Nartowicz tree service has spent almost two decades taking down ash tree and has the tools and skill to take down what is a very dangerous species' of tree to remove once they have started to die. Give us a call to come take a look at your ash trees to find out if they are sick because once the tree starts to show signs it will be 2-3 years before it is fully dead.

Tree talk thursday ! This week I will be talking about white pine the most common confer tree in Massachusetts and due to my experience climbing and doing crane work i spend more time in white pines than i do any other species of tree.
These giants grow to be over 100 feet tall regularly with the tallest one in mass being 169 feet tall in the mohawk state forest. I have climbed 100s of these around 120 feet and i will tell you the view from the tops of these are always stunning!
These trees have been a part of american history as long as we have been a country starting back when the king of england declared that our large white pines were to be sent to england to make masts for their ships kicking off the pine tree riot shortly before the boston tea party. It is also the wood that builds most homes in new england.
Now while these trees are amazing they do not belong growing near homes with their rapid growth rate of up 3 feet a year and when they grow in the open will have many leaders (upward growing branches) that are prone to failure in high winds due to a softer wood and their height. These trees are able to cause massive damage to anything they strike.

Hope everyone enjoyed this week's tree talk please like and share for more fun tree facts next week!
