Hey…You Down There…We’re Alive Too!

The trees on your property can’t talk, but maybe if they could they would remind you that they have been around (in many cases) a lot longer than you.  In point of fact, right here in the Silver State we have the oldest living trees on earth.  Healthy trees measure the passage of time with their rings (leave grandpa alone!)

Protecting trees from disease is very important.  Here are some of them –

1.  Anthracnose…the sycamore and the dogwood are hit hardest
2.  Cedar rust…found in the crabapple and the hawthorn
3.  Diplodia…the scourge of many pines
4.  Powdery mildew…found when fungus attacks new tissue

There are many others.  Some are found around Northern Nevada and some are not.  Don’t wait to find out the hard way!  If you suspect that any tree on your property is suffering from disease call The Tree Professionals right away.  They serve the Reno area with any and all tree and shrub issues.  That phone number is (775) 420-8694.
