The Importance of Annual Tree Inspections
Trees are a vital part of our environment, providing several benefits such as improving air quality, offering shade, enhancing property aesthetics, and supporting wildlife. However, like any living organism, trees require regular care and maintenance to ensure their health and longevity. One essential aspect of tree care is annual inspections, particularly during summer. Let's look into the importance of tree inspections, its benefits and providing guidance on effectively carrying them out.
Why Conduct Tree Inspections in Summer?
Summer is an ideal time for tree inspections due to the favorable weather conditions. Moreover, the trees have their full display of foliage. The warm and dry conditions allow for assessment of a tree's health and structure. Here's why summer inspections are crucial:
Optimal Visibility of Tree Health
Trees are in full bloom during summer, making identifying signs of distress, pest infestations, or disease easier. The abundance of leaves and fruit indicates a tree's overall health.
Early Detection of Diseases and Pests
Summer is the peak season for many tree diseases and pest activities. Regular inspections during this period allow for early detection and prompt intervention, preventing extensive damage.
Ensuring Safety and Preventing Property Damage
Healthy trees are less likely to pose safety hazards. Summer inspections help identify structural weaknesses that could lead to branch breakage or tree failure, especially during summer storms or high winds.
Preparing for Extreme Weather Conditions
Summer often brings extreme weather events, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, and droughts. Regular inspections help prepare trees to withstand these conditions.
An annual summer tree inspection is critical to responsible property and environmental stewardship. It enables early detection and resolution of health and structural issues, ensuring that trees continue to provide their numerous benefits safely and beautifully.
Whether undertaken personally or with the assistance of a professional arborist, regular summer inspections are an investment in the health of your trees and the safety and appeal of your property. Prioritize this summer tree care practice to enjoy thriving, resilient trees for years.

Pennsylvania Summer Season Issues for Plants and Trees: Understanding and Mitigating Common Challenges
Pennsylvania's summer season brings warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and vibrant growth. However, along with the joys of summer, particular challenges arise for plants and trees in the region. From heat stress and drought to pests and diseases, the summer season presents unique issues that can impact the health and vitality of Pennsylvania's greenery. Explore some common challenges plants and trees face during the summer season in Pennsylvania. By understanding these issues and implementing appropriate strategies, homeowners and gardeners can take proactive steps to ensure the well-being and longevity of their beloved plants and trees.
Common Challenges Faced by Plants and Trees During Summer
Heat Stress and Watering
Pennsylvania's summer often brings hot and dry weather, subjecting plants and trees to heat stress and water scarcity. High temperatures and inadequate moisture can lead to wilting, leaf scorch, and even plant death. Providing proper irrigation and water management to combat heat stress is crucial. Deep watering at the base of plants is more effective than shallow watering, as it encourages more profound root growth and helps plants access water during dry spells. Additionally, mulching around plants can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Regularly monitoring soil moisture levels and adjusting watering practices are essential for maintaining plant health during the summer months.
Drought Tolerance
Pennsylvania occasionally experiences drought conditions during the summer, worsening water-related challenges for plants and trees. Choosing drought-tolerant plant varieties and installing sprinkler systems can help mitigate the effects of water scarcity.
Pest Infestations
One of the seasonal plant issues that occurs during summer in Pennsylvania is an influx of pests that can damage plants and trees. Insects such as aphids, Japanese beetles, and spider mites are common culprits. These pests feed on leaves, flowers, and fruits, compromising their health and appearance. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices can help address pest issues effectively. This approach involves monitoring pests, identifying species, and implementing appropriate control measures. IPM encourages using environmentally friendly techniques, such as introducing beneficial insects, using organic insecticides when necessary, and practicing proper plant hygiene. Regular inspection and early intervention are helpful in managing pest infestations and minimizing their impact on plants and trees.
Fungal Diseases
Humid and warm conditions during Pennsylvania summers create a perfect environment for developing fungal diseases. Common fungal infections that affect plants and trees include powdery mildew, leaf spot, and blight. Providing adequate airflow and reducing excess moisture on plant surfaces can help prevent fungal infections. Avoid overhead watering and ensure plants have proper spacing for good air circulation. Maintaining proper plant hygiene by removing and disposing of infected plant material can prevent the spread of fungal pathogens.
Nutrient Deficiencies and Fertilization
Pennsylvania's summer season can deplete soil nutrients due to increased plant growth and nutrient uptake. Nutrient deficiencies can manifest as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and reduced flowering or fruiting. Conducting soil tests can help identify nutrient deficiencies and guide appropriate fertilization practices. Adding organic matter, such as compost or manure, can improve soil fertility and nutrient content. Slow-release or organic fertilizers can provide a balanced nutrient supply over an extended period. Following recommended application rates and timing is necessary to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm plant health.
Pennsylvania's summer season presents various challenges for plants and trees, including heat stress, water scarcity, pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies. By understanding these common issues and implementing appropriate strategies, homeowners and gardeners can help mitigate the impact and promote the health and vitality of their greenery. Providing adequate irrigation, planting drought-tolerant species, practicing integrated pest management, ensuring proper airflow, and addressing nutrient deficiencies through appropriate fertilization practices are good ways to help maintain healthy plants and trees during summer. By being proactive and attentive to the specific needs of their greenery, Pennsylvanians can enjoy thriving landscapes that withstand the rigors of the summer season.

babygirl doodles from a little while ago
#my art#oc#mockley#anthro#my favourite of the bunch is the top right#just kidding it's the one directly in the middle. the one that looks dumb#everyone will be glad to know that there are two wood pigeons nesting in our garden at the moment#making for a total of 3 ugly as hell muppet babies that i get to look at. they always pretend not to see me as if that makes them invisible#you're fresh out of luck baby pigeons. i will be gazing upon you lovingly until you move out#one pigeon is nesting in the grapevine and scared the absolute shit out of me by bursting out when i tried to harvest my beautiful grapes#i looooove late summer/early autumn. fruit season baybeeee. freakin apples and plums and damsons and pears and grapes and greengages baybee#anyone here ever tried a greengage???? probably the best fruit in the world and no one cares about it. SICKENING.#i assume most of my followers r from america and maybe don't have greengages but you should aim to try one at least once in your life#preferably after plucking it from the tree with your own hand. and also stealing it from someone else's tree#just kidding i would never advocate scrumping haha....unless....?

Sometimes I remember that my whole house was so obsessed with the show Merlin, that we named the first tree we planted in the yard Merlin.
When it was given to us 11 years ago it was hardly a scraggly stick, and now it looks like a giant bush
Artist rendition
#this is the first year it has like!! actual bark!!!#only the middle/ main trunk#I’m so emotional over this tree you guys don’t even know#he won’t stop growing branches on the bottom#so he just looks like a huge bush when leafed out#then another tree we planted the same year looks like a Maple Tree TM#I love all the trees in my yard#every day when it’s warm enough I tell them all they’re doing a great jobs#and one who burnt during a really hot summer didn’t grow for YEARS#but we didn’t give up on it#no sir#we cut off the burnt limb#we kept telling it that it was doing great#and last year!!! it finally started growing new twigs!!#it grew more than like 5 leaves!!!#and this year so far there’s already a LOT of growth!!!!!!#and one tree I got from a childhood best friend like 5 years ago has absolutely taken off#like holy hell#the tree was a sapling from the tree from her backyard#it was my favourite tree growing up#it’s were we were kids together#guys no you don’t get it#we slowly fell out of friendship and then years later she texted me#‘hey you know that one tree you used to love? do you want a sapling from jt otherwise my mom is throwing it in compost.’#‘she thinks you don’t care about this tree anymore but I know you do’#*sobs*#Spoofy tambles

Summer Tree Care: The Importance and Benefits of Tree Care and Maintenance
Summertime is a beautiful season to be outdoors and enjoy nature. Trees provide shade, beauty, and environmental benefits, making them essential parts of our outdoor spaces. However, many people tend to neglect their trees during the summer months, thinking they can thrive independently. Summer tree care is crucial to ensure their health and longevity.
Importance of Summer Tree Care and Maintenance
Summer tree care is essential because it helps maintain the health and well-being of trees during the hottest months of the year. Here are some reasons why summer tree care services and maintenance are essential:
Watering: Summer is the season of intense heat and drought. Trees can suffer from stress, diseases, and insect infestations without proper hydration. Therefore, watering trees regularly is essential to ensure their survival and good health. During the summer, trees may require more frequent watering, especially in hot and dry climates. Watering should be done slowly and deeply to encourage profound root growth.
Pruning: Pruning helps to remove damaged, diseased, or dead branches, allowing the tree to focus on healthy growth. Proper pruning also helps to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and increase sunlight exposure.
Pest control: Summer is when many pests and insects are active. Some problems can cause severe damage to trees, such as bark beetles, borers, and caterpillars. Identifying and treating pest infestations early is essential to prevent the spread of damage and preserve the tree's health.
Nutrient management: Trees require proper nutrition to grow and thrive. Trees need a steady supply of nutrients during the summer to sustain their growth and combat stress. Fertilizing trees in the summer can help them stay healthy and resist disease and pest infestations.
Summer tree care and maintenance involves the management of trees to promote their health and safety. Well-maintained trees enhance the beauty and aesthetic value of outdoor spaces. Proper tree care can also increase the property's value by improving its curb appeal and environmental benefits.

I feel desensitised at this point, cause this is happening every fucking summer, but might as well make a post.
Attica is on fire again. This time houses were burned in less than a day. At least one stray shelter was burned before they could get the animals out. I don't even want to think how many other animals, wild or not, didn't (and won't) make it. At least, as far as I know, we don't have any human casualties (yet). Fires have been burning in neighbourhoods and houses since yesterday and given how we're going to have yet another heatwave from tomorrow, things are looking great.
But hey. At least in a couple years, when most folks would have forgotten this, look how many more villas will pop up in those places. There was a rich boy bitching how no firefighters were by his villa. Motherfucker, this is how you bought the land and build on it, taste your own medicine for once.
And we're still hiring more and more cops. Within NATO, Greece is #3 (#1 in 2022 (higher than the fucking USA)) in military spending per GDP (x), as if our main enemy isn't in the same fucking alliance.
Meanwhile, our firefighters are constantly understaffed. Meanwhile, we're having yearly fires basically inside the country's capital, with more and more houses being burned each time.
But that's no reason to buy more firefighting planes, helis and general firefighting equipment. That's no reason to focus on firefighter training and recruitment. No, no. See, we just need more cops and more army funding. Oh, oh, and don't forget the priests. We should never forget the fucking priests.
Gonna fight the fires with bullets, bombs and prayers.
#greece#come live your dream in greece#wildfires#“wild” fires#when do you stop calling them wild? when they start burning in omonoia square?#when i say houses i don't mean the villas btw#those can burn to the ground#a good majority of our forest fires are just so bastards can buy land and build their “summer retreat” away from us plebs#every time i say i don't care about this country but every time i get furious at the incompetence and lack of preparation#ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS YEAR AFTER FUCKING YEAR#if it was just villas i wouldn't give half a shit#but this is also trees and animals and actual fucking houses where people live(d) year-around
