Why Hire a Tree Service Company for Plant Health Care?
The size and longevity of trees warrant very special attention. You can replace garden plants in a week or even a grass lawn in a season, but it takes years to replace a tree.
So, as homeowners, you should contact a professional tree company, like Scarlett Oaks Tree Services, because of their tree expertise to make the right care decisions about all of the plants in your yard.
Our Plant Health Care Services include the following:
· Insect and Disease Control
· Emerald Ash Borer Prevention and Treatment
· Deep Root Watering and Feeding
· Lawn Care
· Structural Pruning
What Are Systemic Tree Injections?
Trunk injections treat your trees for various tree insects, which are found in the Metro area, including Aphids, Emerald and Lilac Ash Borers, Mountain Pine, and IPS Engraver Beetles. We also inject nutrients and antibiotics to correct deficiencies and control tree diseases. Scarlett Oaks Tree Services uses systemic products to treat the following
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
The EAB is and will always be here to stay. Since the beetle is moving up and down the Front Range, it is just a matter of time before it arrives in the Metro Area. American Ash trees have absolutely zero immunity to the EAB and will die if they are not treated. So, prevention is the absolute best tactic to save high-value Ash trees against the EAB.
EAB control products are also effective against the Peachtree, Lilac, Ash Borers, and the Zimmerman Pine Moth.
Elm Leaf Pests
Elms will need extra help in the Metro area since they are not native trees. Wet springs support large infestations of the Elm Leaf Beetle. We use systemic products to control the Elm Leaf Beetle and the Elm Leaf Miner, European Elm Flea Weevil, and Japanese Beetles.
Soft Body Tree Pests
Tree aphids and scales become serious tree pests when the Metro area has a wet spring.
Many of these pests are tree species-specific. Applying dormant oils in the winter or systemic injections in the early spring controls many scale insects found in the Metro area. On the other hand, hot summers support the growth of the Honeylocust Spider Mite. Systemics are effective against this mite.
Deep Root Injections
Denver's climate and heavy clay soils are great for growing grass, but not trees, so most of the trees seen in the City are planted. Since trees are not native to the Metro area, it makes sense that they might need some extra care in order to thrive here. A well-thought-out deep root feeding and watering program in the summer and winter will make trees less susceptible to disease, insect infestations, and unpredictable weather.
Tree Root Systems
A tree's root system absorbs the water and minerals from the soil to nourish the tree. The root system stores essential food during winter to prepare the tree for spring, foliage, and seed production. Deep root feeding pushes nutrients, air, and water to the roots through a hollow probe in the ground.
Keeping It Green
Plant Health Care (PHC) means taking a holistic and comprehensive approach to tree, shrub, and lawn care. Most of the yard landscapes are a mix of trees, shrubs, and turf, where plants compete for water and nutrients with their intermingled root systems. Grass fertilizers and herbicides may impact the appearance of trees.
Conversely, tree pruning and insect control may affect the vitality of the underlying grass. Each season has critical plant health care to-dos. Keep all your plants, including trees, healthy by hiring Scarlett Oak Tree Services, who will speak with you and go over all of your tree health needs, and assist you in caring for everything.
Fire Blight Treatment
Scarlett Oaks Tree Services is an expert in Fire Blight treatment. Fire Blight is a bacterial disease that affects Apple, Pear, Quince, and Crabapple trees, causing dead branches, water-soaked blossoms, blackened leaves, discolored bark, black twigs, and dried fruits. The Blight spreads by insects, splashing rain, or contaminated pruning tools. Fire Blight Ross has spread like wildfire across the Metro Area for several years. Scarlett Oaks Tree Services uses a mix of pruning, trunk injections, and chemical sprays to treat this disease.
