Insects pests can be harmful to trees and shrubs

During spring, pests that have been overwintering in trees and shrubs become active. Some defoliating insects will be hatching soon.

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.
