At Econo Tree Service, we are entering into high gear with winter pruning. As you have probably noticed, the leaves are off the trees, and you can really see the structures of all the trees. Pruning the trees now makes way for new growth in the Spring.
With the lack of rain in December, trees are not getting the proper water they need to thrive. Be sure to water the trees as needed and only when the ground is cool and not frozen. This will help the trees to survive the winter months and get ready for their lush return in the Spring.
With the new year coming, we will be offering a year round pest management program. We start in the later Winter with a dormant spray. In March, we inject the tree roots with a pesticide that protects the trees from leaf sucking insects, and boring insects. In April, we spray a Spring spray that kills caterpillars and other pests that eat leaves and can cause damage to the tree. In May, we start our fertilizing program, which provides nutrients to trees to support growth through the Spring and Summer. If you have Oak trees on your property, this is the time of year to protect them from Sudden Oak Death if you have never treated your Oaks before. In June, we reach out to all of our customers to check on the health of their trees, and reapply any treatment if necessary. In September, we fertilize the large trees again to be sure that they are getting the proper nutrients they need to flourish. And finally, in October and November, we treat the Oaks again for Sudden Oak Death. Once the Oaks are treated, they will only need to be treated annually.
If you would like to participate in our program, we would be more than happy to assist you. We can take a full inventory of your trees and determine what the best course of action would be to keep your trees healthy and looking beautiful. Please call our office today to find out about this pest management program.
And finally at Econo Tree Service, we pride ourselves in all of our workers being trained on proper pruning and safety procedures. We hope this helps you make the right choice when working on your property. We have seen the damage untrained workers can do to trees, and want to be sure this doesn’t happen to your trees.
