The crew hard at work cleaning up the aftermath of tree pruning. We pride ourselves on leaving every space tidy. Other than beautifully shaped trees you'd never know we've been there!

Are you seeing signs of winter burn on your evergreens? Protect your plants and reduce stress factors so your trees will be less susceptible to injury.

The best time to prune fruit trees is in the late winter or early spring, when the tree is still dormant. Your Bartlett Arborist will give you advice on timing and ensure pruning is done correctly!

Can you guess what the request was from our client? #arboristclimberlife

Even as trees lose their leaves, they still bring beauty and interest to the landscape. Trees with peeling bark like paperbark and trident maple bring texture and interest to a landscape after the leaves have fallen.

This is tree fell last week during a day when heavy winds were present. It had a structural defect called a "co-dominant stem" and the wind caused it to split and come down. It is a great idea to have your Bartlett Arborist come around and check for issues such as these in your trees. We can often provide solutions to mitigate or reduce the risk of potential failure. Unfortunately, the remaining part of this tree also had to be removed as it was a safety concern. An ideal tim...e for our Arborists to inspect for structural defects is during the late fall and winter time, as there are less to no leaves on your trees and these weaknesses can be spotted. Our reps and crews work straight through all seasons of the year to ensure that your trees are happy, healthy, and safe! We look forward to seeing you and your trees soon! #codominantstem #emergencytreeservice #safetyaboveallelse #treedefects

Make sure your trees are protected during lightning season. Trees provide an easy path for lightning to reach the ground, but can be protected from dangerous strikes.

We love it when a client sends us a before & after! Mike and Paolo pruned an overgrown tree and now Dawn says she likes the extra light and great shape while still offering some privacy. What a beautiful yard!

Rosanna is part of a Routine Maintenance program. Her plan involves natural treatments that suppress needle scale, borer pests, promote growth and vitality, and improve resistance to disease and stress.

When its the day after a storm and your customer wakes up to this...

The silver maple is the "wild child" of the maple family. It grows fast and tall (up to 30 metres or 100 feet), quickly blocks out sunlight and its water-loving roots will try to sneak into underground pipes and tanks. This before & after tidies things up with a careful pruning!

Are you wondering why a tree or shrub you planted has died? The RHS - Royal Horticultural Society explains how to tell if your plant is dead and the common reasons why both newly planted and established trees fail.

Gypsy moth caterpillars are voracious feeders and can defoliate a tree in just days when there is a heavy infestation. The best time to treat is in early spring. However, pruning of dead branches, thinning of the canopy and addressing soil nutrient deficiencies now are important practices to help trees better withstand infestation.

Not an average rescue! Bartletts Lucas Violini helped Jay Dault from Country Bee Honey Farm rescue a bee swarm. The queen bee and main swarm were put in a box and moved safely into a hive where they will provide Country Bee with some wonderful honey.

Fun tree Friday! The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak with an impressive 8.5-metre circumference. Located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina, the tree is estimated to be between 400-500 years old.

Our teams get to work in some pretty incredible places. The view from this home in Victoria was being blocked by an overgrown willow tree. After some strategic pruning the ocean and Trial Island appeared!

Trees that dont get enough water can be vulnerable to boring insects, stem and root disease. When summer gets hot and dry, pay attention to tree needles and leaves for signs of stress.

Have you seen any gypsy moth infestations? Have a look in your trees...

Have you seen this pest? The gypsy moth is an invasive pest and a voracious feeder. A fully-grown larva can consume as much as one square foot of foliage in a day! When infestations are heavy, entire trees can be stripped of leaves in just a few days. A healthy deciduous tree can usually survive one defoliation, but it hurts the growth and strength of the tree. 2 to 3 consecutive years of heavy defoliation will result in death of most hardwoods, especially oaks. A tree weakened by losing its leaves is also susceptible to invasion by secondary organisms such as insect borers and root decay fungi, which often kill the tree. Gypsy moth populations fluctuate each year. If you suspect an infestation speak with your Bartlett Arborist about saving affected trees and minimizing the spread of gypsy moth.

Ive got my eye on you! Praying mantis is a wonderful friend to have in your garden and loves to chow down on insect pests, mites and eggs.

Can you spot Ryan the Bartlett Arborist climber? Hes way up that tree removing dead branches. (We never get tired of this game.) #arblife

During a tree assessment, a Bartlett Arborist can look for clues that tell us about that trees condition. Sometimes it would be nice to see inside the tree for a better understanding. Fortunately we have that technology. Sonic tomography can help us detect rot and other defects that might not be seen during a visual assessment. These defects may or may not affect risk associated with the tree. If you have a highly valuable tree we can give you the information that you need to make an informed management decision.

Fun fact Friday. The rings tell a trees story.

This Canada Day were thanking trees! (Thank you Bruno Machiavelo for creating this picture.)
