#Pruning & Trimming

I've put a decidedly Halloween twist on my desk's right hand side, considering that the stores are putting all their pumpkins out. Bog Witch to Halloween Party City mode: Engage! (The shaky hand is a feature, not a bug.)

In need of pruning.. apples waiting to fall, to rot and decay and feed the land. An existence waiting to combust before the freeze seeps out of the bones.

Fall Awakens.

Garden Report 22.12.17

The hens have replummed nicely. Every day that it is a bit of sun/no rain, I set them out to forage even if its just for a 20 minute span. Its too cold for them to find much to eat but at least they are getting a tiny bit of exercise. With the short days, they are literally cooped up long hours. I will leave the back door to the garden open and they will march up to the stoop and set their little feather tuffs there on the threshold ... not that its warmer inside. High fuel cost keeps us huddled in one place with very limited/no heat. It reminds me of when we lived in the yurt... ah, the good old days.

A couple of more weeks and we will get the pole trimmer out. More than the fruit trees are getting it this year. I also need to tackle the front as the wildness is making the neighboring urbanites nervous. I can’t fault them there as it is the season of strangeness (more so this year) and a bit more desperation/strong-arming. So its lifting, thinning and trimming season so everyone can see each other and hopefully feel at peace.

I want to re-plot the garden (map it) as that I am rethinking some growing spaces vs grow boxes. I have some plants that are coming past their peak so I need to propagate then consider taking out the non-productive/older plants. It is hard. They have given us food and been there for awhile. This is why, for me, its hard because I have to be a wee bit ruthless if I am going to grow food for the family. If I had the space to grow, I would just make another berry patch or plant more plums, etc somewhere else. But I Don’t. And I Can’t. So I have to convince myself that I Must. I’ve always hated this part. As a child, it was part of the farm life/livestock part I found hard. Yes, these, they are just plants.  But I have a relationship with them, talk to them, tend to them and am a tad attached to them.

The woman who I was/am making the rose tunnel for did not hold up her end for bed prep so now I have pots of ramblers and climbers that are oversized and in the way. I would like to over-winter them there but if she can’t finish prepping the beds, I can’t expect her to overwinter potted plants. And now I have to figure in a time where I can go out and do that soon so they will be ready to slip in early Spring. I am also anticipating other bedding plants to fill in the footage as we waits for the tunnel to take shape (annuals). It will be a nice area once things take hold.

So that is what is happening in the garden part of my life. Wishing you all a season of Hope and Peace that will continue to grow in the coming year. God bless!

ArborPlus Offers Tree Pruning Services in Salt Lake City for Healthier Trees

Tree pruning is a vital aspect of tree care that not only enhances the beauty of your landscape but also promotes the health and longevity of your trees. At ArborPlus, we specialize in professional tree pruning services in Salt Lake City, ensuring your trees receive the expert care they deserve. Our team of certified arborists understands the specific needs of different tree species and employs best practices to maintain their vitality.

Why Is Tree Pruning Important?

Pruning is more than just trimming branches; it's an essential practice that contributes to the overall health of your trees. Here’s why regular tree pruning is crucial:

1. Health Improvement

Pruning removes dead, damaged, or diseased branches, preventing potential infestations and diseases from spreading to the rest of the tree. By maintaining the health of your trees, you not only extend their lifespan but also improve their appearance.

2. Enhanced Growth

When you prune your trees correctly, you encourage new growth. Strategic cuts stimulate the growth of healthy shoots, which can lead to a fuller, more robust tree. This is particularly important for flowering and fruit-bearing trees, as proper pruning can enhance blooms and yield.

3. Safety Concerns

Overgrown branches can pose safety risks, especially during storms or high winds. By pruning regularly, you can reduce the likelihood of branches falling and causing damage to your property or injuring individuals nearby. Our team ensures that your trees are safe and healthy, mitigating risks associated with weak or overextended branches.

4. Aesthetic Appeal

Well-pruned trees enhance the beauty of your landscape. A neatly shaped tree can become a focal point of your yard or garden, increasing your property’s curb appeal. With ArborPlus’s expert pruning, your trees will look their best all year round.

ArborPlus Tree Pruning Services

Comprehensive Pruning Solutions

At ArborPlus, we offer a full range of tree pruning services tailored to the specific needs of your trees. Our services include:

Crown Thinning: This process involves selectively removing branches to improve air circulation and light penetration within the canopy. This not only promotes healthier growth but also reduces wind resistance, making your trees more stable.

Crown Raising: If lower branches are obstructing pathways or visibility, crown raising removes these branches to elevate the tree's canopy. This is especially important for street trees and those near structures.

Crown Reduction: For trees that have outgrown their space, crown reduction involves shortening the tree’s height or width. This helps maintain the tree’s health while keeping it manageable within your landscape.

Deadwooding: Our team removes dead or dying branches to enhance the tree’s appearance and overall health. This process is crucial in preventing disease spread and minimizing hazards.

Seasonal Pruning: Different trees require pruning at specific times of the year. Our arborists are trained to know when to prune various species to ensure optimal growth and health.

Professional Arborists

Our team consists of skilled, licensed arborists who have extensive training in tree biology and pruning techniques. We take pride in our meticulous approach, ensuring that every cut we make promotes the tree's health and aesthetic appeal.

Why Should You Consider Tree Removal in El Paso, TX

When is Tree Removal Necessary?

Several factors can signal the need for professional tree removal in El Paso, TX. Recognizing these signs early can prevent potential hazards and property damage.  

Disease and Pests

Nothing living is immune to diseases and pests. Texas root rot and various kinds of fungal infections are common in El Paso. These can weaken a tree's structural integrity, thus making it unstable and dangerous. Infestation by bark beetles or wood borers can also affect a tree, ultimately causing its decline.

Storm Damage

High winds and heavy rains are sometimes part of the El Paso weather. Such storms can break tree branches, crack trunks, or uproot the trees completely. Such damaged trees should be removed for safety and to not cause more harm in the future.

Construction and Development

As El Paso continues to expand, tree removal at times is necessary for new construction, landscaping projects, or utility installations. Clearing these developments requires careful planning and professional execution to minimize environmental impact.

Protects Your Property

Tree roots can grow very strong, but some will ingrown and cause damage to walkways, foundations, and underground pipes. Overgrown branches may encroach into buildings, power lines, or neighboring properties. Removal or strategic pruning in these situations will help preserve your property's integrity.

Beautification

Dead or dying trees are an eyesore on your property, and certainly, they can also serve as safety risks. Thirdly, any tree obstructing views to something desirable or illuminating can be removed so that the property becomes more lovely.

Professional Tree Removal in El PAaso Ts: A Step-by-Step Process

Safe and efficient tree removal requires expertise and specialized equipment. Here's a general overview of how professionals approach the process:

Assessment: A certified arborist will thoroughly evaluate the tree, considering its species, health, location, and surroundings. This assessment identifies potential hazards and informs the removal strategy.  

Regulations: El Paso has specific regulations regarding tree removal, including permits and potential restrictions on protected species. A professional tree removal company understands these rules and ensures compliance.  

Removal: Professionals use various techniques, such as directional felling or sectional dismantling, depending on the tree's size and location. They possess the skills and equipment to perform the job safely and efficiently.  

Cleanup: After removing the tree, the crew will grind the stump and clear away all debris, leaving your property clean and restored.  

Choosing the Right Tree Removal Contractor

Credentials: Verify the company's licenses, insurance, and arborist certifications. This protects you from liability and ensures adherence to industry standards.

Experience: Choose a contractor with a proven track record in El Paso. Local knowledge of tree species and soil conditions is invaluable.

Reputation: Research online reviews and seek recommendations from trusted sources. A reputable company will have satisfied clients willing to vouch for their work.

Transparency: Obtain detailed written estimates that outline all costs and services. Review the contract carefully before signing to understand the terms and conditions.

DIY vs. Expert: Why Specialist Skills Are Essential

Do-it-yourself tree removal is a tempting option for some, but you have to realize the hazards of doing so. The removal of trees is risky work that needs professional knowledge, training, and equipment. Specialists must undergo rigorous training to execute these operations safely. Doing it yourself may result in accidents or injuries and damage to your property. You may end up paying more for the latter.

Environmental Accountability

Remove trees in an environmental manner. If feasible, replace the removed tree with a new one and choose a species that will thrive well in El Paso's climate. A responsible contractor also knows how to dispose of sustainable debris, including chipping wood and donating logs for reuse.

Tree removal is a rather complex process that requires careful consideration and professional expertise. Understanding why the tree has to be removed, the procedures involved in that process, and why it's important to choose an accredited contractor can ensure the properties of El Paso homeowners remain safe and beautiful and contribute toward a healthy urban environment.
