🚨 TREE OWNERS: Have you seen these pests in your yard? 🚨

Emerald Ash Borer and Spotted Lanternfly have been identified across our region - Early detection and preventative treatments can save trees and help avoid costly removals.

🌳 Emerald Ash Borer attacks and kills ash trees, often before homeowners realize there's a problem.

🍃 Spotted Lanternflies feed on trees and plants, weakening them and leaving behind sticky residue that attracts mold and other pests.

Don't wait until it's too late—protect your trees and your property. Treatment options are available now. Share this with a friend, spread the word!

🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK: DAY 5 🚨

We've covered a lot this week, so here's your quick hurricane-season checklist:

✅ Remove loose yard debris
✅ Inspect trees for warning signs
✅ Identify trees that could impact structures
✅ Address dead or damaged limbs
✅ Make a plan before a storm watch is issued

The best time to prepare is before the forecast starts getting everyone's attention. A little prevention now can save a lot of stress later.

Thanks for following along during Hurricane Preparedness Week! If you found these tips helpful, share this post with a neighbor and help keep our community storm-ready.

🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK: DAY 4 🚨

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear: "If I cut a bunch off my tree, it'll be safer." Not always!

Today's Tip - Avoid excessive or improper pruning, including topping.

Over-pruning can:
❌ Stress the tree
❌ Encourage weak regrowth
❌ Make the canopy unbalanced
❌ Increase future storm damage risk

Proper pruning focuses on removing dead, damaged, and structurally weak branches while preserving the tree's natural strength.

Tomorrow we'll wrap up Hurricane Preparedness Week with a final checklist every homeowner should complete before the next storm arrives.

🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK: DAY 3 🚨

Here's a surprise: The tallest tree isn't always the biggest risk during a hurricane.

Today's Tip - Pay special attention to trees that are:

🏠 Close to your home
🚗 Near driveways and parked vehicles
⚡ Under or near power lines
🎮 Around play areas
🛏️ Near bedrooms and frequently occupied spaces

When evaluating storm risk, focus on what a tree could hit if it failed.

Tomorrow we'll cover a common mistake homeowners make when preparing trees for hurricane season.

🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK: DAY 2 🚨

Not all tree problems are obvious. Many storm failures happen because a tree already had hidden weaknesses before the wind ever arrived.

Today's Tip - Watch for these common warning signs:

🔍 Cracks in the trunk
🍄 Mushrooms growing at the base
🌳 Large dead limbs
📐 Trees leaning more than usual
🪵 Cavities or hollow areas

Storms don't usually create tree problems—they reveal them.

Catching issues early can help prevent expensive damage later.

Tomorrow we'll discuss which trees on your property deserve the most attention before hurricane season heats up.

🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK: DAY 1 🚨

The Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway, and now is the time to prepare—not when a storm is already headed our way.

This week, we'll be sharing simple tips to help protect your home, family, and property before severe weather strikes.

Today's Tip - Take a walk around your yard and identify anything that could become airborne in strong winds.

Look for:
🌳 Dead branches
🪑 Patio furniture
🗑️ Loose trash cans
🎯 Yard decorations
☂️ Umbrellas and canopies

Strong winds can turn everyday items into dangerous projectiles.

Tomorrow we'll talk about how to spot warning signs that a tree may not be storm-ready.

Move over, Methuselah! Pando, a colony of Quaking Aspens located in Utah, is estimated to be approximately 80,000 years old! Clonal trees can survive millennia by regenerating new trunks from a ancient network of root systems.
