| Tree, Shrub, and Lawn Watering Needed....Like Yesterday |

Spring Greetings Loyal Followers of American Arbor Care. Forgive the delay in posting worthy tree and lawn care updates/news so far in 2012. Certainly by now, we all have heard March 2012 may go on record as the dryest in history. We know it is not always easy or convenient to drag out the garden hose, but we guarantee it is worth doing for your landscape. Get whatever water you can to your trees and shrubs.... begin with the newest plants in your yard and work from there. It's still early to risk irrigation system turn on unless you have the ability to turn on and then drain/turn off yourself. But, try to get some water to your turf as well. Otherwise, we all will see damaging affects that come in a variety of forms as the season ahead greets us. Please call us if we may assist you in getting water to your landscape. Call with any other questions and/or concerns as well.

Hope our clients and neighbors have a chance to knock off the heavy snow from their trees and shrubs this 26th day of October 2011. Early, wet snowfall in Denver will break limbs - especially those still holding broad leaves. It is important to get broken branches correctly pruned back. Please call our office to get on the storm damage list 303-639-8584. Feel free to email us your photos and we'll do our best to give you advice/feedback.

| Normal Needle Cast in Pines and Spruce |
ShareThis
|
|
Typically, pines and spruce will cast (drop) older needles in the fall of the year. Some years are heavier than others. Uniform, browning needles towards the interior of the plant - around late summer/early fall - is part of the needle casting process. Some years are heavlier than others. It is important to note that the new growth, towards the tips of the branches, should not discolor under normal needle casting processes. Be sure to look around your neighborhood and parks to see other pines/spruces doing the same thing. Call us if you have any concerns, and feel free to email us photos to confirm needle casting - or other requests.

| The Heat Is On! |
ShareThis
|
|
Yes, we received a good amount of rain earlier this season, but some root damage was already done following the 3rd driest December ('10) on record. Possibly more damage to come if we don't up the watering schedule during this very stressful, hot period. Your lawns, trees and shrubs need more water during these 95+ degree days. It will help in the long run. Water is still one of the cheapest management tools for your landscape...especially if you have spent thousands on new landscaping!

| Iron Chlorosis in Denver area trees heavy in 2010 and 2011 |
ShareThis
|
|
Iron chlorosis is a term describing leaf yellowing (lack of chlorophyll) due to insufficient iron. Iron is a mineral essential for plants to make chlorophyll, in turn needed for photosynthesis. Lack of iron in a tree may be due to a high iron need, less effective iron uptake, or insufficient usable iron in the soil. Colorado soils generally have adequate to high iron levels, as evidenced by the many red soils and rock formations. However, Colorado soils are mostly alkaline, causing most of the iron to be in an insoluble form not usable by plants. treatment depends on several factors. Call us for a free evaluation and recommendation.

| Thousand Cankers Disease in Denver area walnut trees |

Thousand Cankers disease is spreading quickly through Denver area walnut trees. The disease is carried to the trees by a small twig beetle. Accurate diagnosis and quick removal/proper disposal of infested wood is key to preventing the spread east of the Mississippi into native stands there.

Recent thunderstorms produced some hail and damaging winds in the Denver area. It is important to follow up with your trees and shrubs as soon as possible to correctly prune out any broken limbs, and consider deep root fertlizing this fall to compensate for any stress resulting from damage to leaves and limbs.
