Band those trees!

Part of what makes our in-town neighborhoods so desirable is the mature  tree canopy that the old growth oaks provide. So make sure you protect the value of our homes and our overall community by protecting them from those pesky spring worms that eat their leaves and can leave our magnificent trees crippled and sometimes too far gone to survive. Fall is the time to do it-before the bugs can crawl up into the branches to nest. If you have oak, cherry, or dogwood (three of our most popular trees, and three of the most vulnerable) then call an expert and hire someone to band your trees. I called Heartwood, and they came out the next day to wrap ours. Prices are based on the size of the tree, but even with two VERY large oaks plus a cherry, the bill was only a few hundred dollars. But time is running out! November is the end of the window, so please consider doing it today!!
