    All about tree girdling

    7/27/2020

     
    ​When it comes to root growth, we’re sure that every owner knows to expect the unexpected. Roots have a funny way of finding their way to places that are less than ideal in some cases and in other cases, can cause simple, annoying aesthetic issues as well. 

    Most of the time, these aren’t a big issue. Even when roots become slightly invasive, there’s a pretty straight-forward way to deal with them. That being said, every once and a while, they’ll do a strange thing we call ‘girdling.’ And ‘girdling’ is a bad thing - for both the tree and the surrounding area.

    How to help your Christmas Tree Thrive

    12/2/2019

     
    With the holiday season quickly approaching and pretty soon it’s going to be time to put up your Christmas tree. Nothing gets you quite in the spirit like handpicking that live tree with loved ones knowing that it’ll bring with it a sense of warmth, cheer and memories in the month to come.

    That being said – if you’re like some, you might be an early bird and shop for that tree early. While that means that you’ll both beat the crowds and get the pick of the proverbial litter; it also means that you’ll have to care for your tree for a longer period of time. That longer period of time can mean more room for the tree to dry out and potentially begin to die off before the big day arrives. Obviously, we don’t want that to happen!

You’re probably wondering what kind of spider builds something like that, but the truth is – it’s not a spider. Its tent caterpillars or webworms. Today, we’re going to talk about what webworms are, why the webs are what they are and how you can get rid of them. Let’s jump right in.
