Dear Tree Lovers,
As stewards of nature, we often find parallels between the care of our beloved trees and the journeys of our own lives. Just as we sometimes need to put the past behind us to embrace future possibilities, our trees too require attention and time to heal and thrive.
In the wake of nature’s trials, our resilient trees have endured the harsh hand dealt by recent weather patterns. From the relentless freeze of winter’s icy grasp to the scorching heat of consecutive summers, sandwiched by another unforgiving winter storm, our arboreal companions have largely stood steadfast against the elements. Despite the challenges, they continue to grace our landscapes, a testament to their enduring strength and vitality.
Just as stress can leave a lasting impact on human health, our trees, too, bear the marks of the challenges they have weathered. The toll of extreme weather events can linger, affecting their long-term well-being. In the months to come we will explore how we can support our resilient friends as they continue to thrive amidst the trials of nature and to identify trees that could put people and property at risk.
I am finishing work on The Homeowner’s Basic Tree Care Guide and will be sending you more information about the Guide and its contents over the next month or two.
Embracing a holistic approach to tree health is paramount in mitigating the detrimental effects of inclement weather on our trees. By nurturing their overall well-being through comprehensive care strategies, we can fortify them against the onslaught of harsh environmental conditions. In the Guide, I will share with you the fundamentals of the Magic Maintenance Formula and how it can help reduce the impact of environmental stressors.
In the meantime, the wonderful intermittent rain we have gotten since last October should make a significantly positive impact on our trees. At this point, however, we are also still seeing the emerging toll of trees irreversibly damaged by the weather.
Look for more about the Guide and let me know if I can help review the condition of your trees.
