Important advice for autumn

Fertilization is the single most important proactive measure you can take in caring for your trees this season. Soil care and fertilization in autumn dramatically improve growing conditions and provide the nutrients required for vital tree root development.

8/21/2026

Is summer heat stressing your trees?

Leaf scorch, wilting, and early leaf drop are among the first signs of drought stress. NC State Extension notes that high temperatures and dry soils limit a tree's ability to move water and nutrients. These symptoms are common during hot Western North Carolina summers.

8/4/2026

Don't miss these warning signs

Trees under stress display key symptoms indicating a serious problem may exist. This includes wilting or loss of leaves/needles, yellowing of leaves or browning of needles, premature autumn color, early leaf drop and sappy spots on branches. Correctly identifying the underlying cause is critical to addressing tree health issues.

Summer tree threats

Summer is a time of high activity for pests as well as tree diseases caused by fungi and other organisms. Some problems may be simply aesthetic, while others can be a real threat to tree health and vitality. As such, it is important to have an arborist check your trees to determine the underlying cause.

6/24/2026

Tree care recommendations for summer

Given the stress from higher temperatures and lack of rainfall comon in summer, it is critical to water your trees and shrubs thoroughly. Applying a 3-4" layer of mulch, inspecting for pest infestations and scheduling fall fertilization can also help maintain tree health and vigor.

Critical care for trees

Now is a critical time of year to prepare your trees and shrubs for the coming summer. Healthy trees and shrubs are better able to withstand the higher temperatures and weather extremes that summer brings. Proper care in spring can help ensure the health of your landscape plants.

Foliar diseases

Foliar diseases including anthracnose, apple scab, rust diseases and powdery mildew will be commonplace in our area this spring. These diseases result in unsightly discoloration, lesions or spots on leaves. Taking action now, before the disease can progress, provides the most effective control.

Tree borers

In spring, damaging tree borers such as ambrosia beetles will start feeding inside tree roots and branches or tunneling beneath the bark. These pests cause signficant internal damage. Taking action in spring is the best way to prevent a major infestation.

Prepare trees for spring

After winter ends, your trees and shrubs will be working hard to establish spring growth. A soil test in early spring can help determine the precise nutrients needed for that growth, yielding a fuller canopy and vibrant, health foliage.

Winter pruning

Winter is the ideal time to prune many tree species. Removal of dead or diseased branches this time of year can greatly reduce the risk they pose to your home and property. Plus, pruning can improve the overall health and appearance of your trees, getting them in shape for spring.

Check your trees for this common issue

Trees that seem to grow straight from the ground are likely in trouble from buried root collars. This issue increases the likelihood of insects and disease and inhibits the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide. A buried root collar can also lead to girdling roots. When a buried root collar exists, it is best to address this problem sooner rather than later, as it can lead to the overall decline of the tree.

Winter tree inspection

Colder temperatures and shorter days serve as a reminder that it’s time for your trees and shrubs to have a winter check-up. Now is the time to uncover issues such as weakly attached branches, dead wood, diseases, pest infestations and other problems before they can cause serious damage in the spring.

Identifying hazardous tree conditions

As leaves fall from trees, the underlying architecture of the plant is revealed. This is the perfect opportunity to identify and correct visibly hazardous issues that can predispose trees to branch and tree failure such as dead wood and weakly attached limbs.

Schedule your winter pruning now to reduce the risk of falling branches and keep your trees looking their best!
