tree care

I am in Zone 7a and I have had good luck getting some other fruit trees (pears, apples, nectarines) off to a healthy start, but it looks like I am striking out for the third time on a lapins cherry tree. I tried a new location this time thinking that may be the problem, but once again things are...

Hello, Please see attached photos of our young tree form Rose of Sharon that we planted earlier this summer. We did have a very hot summer here in North Texas, so I am curious if this may be due to direct sunlight or something else. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, E

My first time posting so I hope I came to the right thread. I recently moved into a new home that has a horse chestnut tree which unfortunately has a big crack in the trunk as well as leaves that are covered in brown spots (rust?) I don’t know much about trees so was wondering if anyone could...

I bought a place two years ago with many trees. I've noticed some of the trees seemed to be partially dead but "healthy" parts almost appear to be doing just fine (Picture 1 of the tree, Picture 2 on the leaves). Throughout the summers, I also noticed some smaller trees just appear to die almost...

One of my favorite quotes is "The most dangerous phrases in the language is 'We've always done it this way"". PHC is not exception. We continue to rely on the 200-300 gallon tank and hose reel technique. How many thousands of gallons of pesticide/water mix are rolling down our highways and...

I have six Southern Magnolias I am growing from seed. All six have come up and are starting to sprout a third leaf. I used a seed starting potting mix mixed with a little regular potting mix to grow them in. I cold stratified them for 5 months before planting. They seem healthy and happy right...

Hi, My 15 year old Red Maple has developed a black coating on about 4 feet of its trunk, around where the first branches branch off. There are very small orange dots on the black part. I can scratch the black stuff off with my fingernail. Is this Gloomy Scale? Is there anything I can do? Thank...

We wanted to be a few steps ahead of the business and been thinking of strategies to somehow attract the client to get to have some work done towards there trees by Spring. How do you sell your business out there to your past clients, new clients?

When the client would ask you when is the best to do pruning and trimming towards trees and shrubs, is it really winter? or spring?

Hi guys, do you usually do preparations as we approach Spring time? Anything you'd like to share to prep your team and company for Spring work load?

I bought a bandit 75xp and notice the tongue might be a bit to short. my hitch is under the truck about half a foot from the back. Has anyone had or has a chipper tongue extension and what does it look like? how did you fix the problem, pics please?

So I just bought a new bandit chipper. I park the truck and chipper off site in a storage place, even though it's behind a gate and it might have cameras I still want to protect it and I want to get a wheel clamp! What type a wheel clamps have other companies use before? my tires are around...

I have been in business for over 10 years mostly working as a contract climber but now I have bought a bandit chipper and chip truck im excited but the only thing im still wondering about is what I charge per hour for chipping debris? but it has to be in cdn dollars as I know the industry costs...

I have been cutting eastern red cedar lately for a few projects. I had cut several trees two years ago and had leaned them up against my shed to dry and I just started using them. I used it for a project and cut it in pieces. One of the pieces had a hole in it about in the middle. I cut what I...

Hi everyone! I wanted to reach out and get your take on new emerging trends in arborist technology and the profession itself. Curious about today's tech being applied to helping trees. There are devices called 'bio-batteries' that can change chemical energy from trees into electricity. Or...
