Tree removal ceremony at Reynolds Secondary School
Bartlett Tree Experts recently participated in a Tree Removal ceremony at Reynolds Secondary School. Pictured here, the specific Garry Oak tree had to be removed due to a large amount of decay at the base which made the tree a high risk of failure. A ceremony was held to honor the tree before removal as part of the indigenous education program.

Oak bracket or weeping conk (inonotus dryadeus)
The thick fruiting body of 'Inonotus dryadeus' varies in size from 5 to 30 centimeters. Its velvety upper surface is cream to rusty brown with a yellower margin and is pitted with tubes up to 3 cm deep which ooze an orange-brown liquid when the fruit body is young, hence the name "weeping conk". The flesh is soft and fibrous, yellow brown in color and has an unpleasant odor.

Pine needle scale (chionaspis pinifoliae)
Pine Needle Scale is a microscopic insect that overwinters as an egg under the scale formed by the mother. The scale causes damage by inserting its mouthparts into the needle and extracting sap. Lady beetles, parasites and weather contribute to the natural control of the scale. When natural controls fail, serious damage can be prevented by applying insecticides.
