Drought/ Heat

We hope you are enjoying your summer. Your trees are not. This year has presented us with a very unusual winter and summer. Most trees and shrubs in our temperate zone have had a hard time adjusting to the changes in our weather pattern. The mild temperatures this winter and lack of snow, as well as the early onset of higher temperatures this summer have led to an overall increase in stress factors for trees and shrubs.

Trees are struggling to maintain their foliage through this drought. Combat early leaf drop by having us aerate and fertilize your trees to slow down further decline especially in mature trees. We use an organic, slow release fertilizer that has shown to improve health and vigor. Water any new plantings as well as mature trees often through this drought or contact us about our unique watering solutions. Trees left untreated will shed foliage early, show branch dieback and will have compromised bud set for next spring. Also, we are observing an increase in insect populations that should be addressed with horticultural oil spray or soil drench applications as soon as possible.
