Consulting & Site Assessments

Analysis & Diagnosis with customized care options

We offer 1-2 hour on site consultations which includes a full written health analysis of your trees that you keep as a record.

The analysis includes a species list of the trees, identification of various infections and recommendations of treatments based on our findings. Correct diagnosis of tree disorders requires careful examination of the site and systematic elimination of possibilities. We assess tree health and determine if there is disease present by analyzing the patterns of abnormalities in bark structure, canopy thickness, foliage color, soil condition, branch growth, trunk flare and the color/feel of fine absorbing roots.

Elemental Treatment

Trees allocate energy to five primary functions: maintenance, growth, storage, reproduction and defense. Nutrient deficiencies adversely affect a tree’s ability to properly carry out their necessary functions, making them susceptible to other harmful agents which can lead to a mortality spiral.

We focus on maintaining a diverse soil food web, ensuring that key nutrients are present and plant available. The Macronutrients required in the highest quantities for plants and trees includes, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Secondary macronutrients are Sulfur, Magnesium and Calcium. Micronutrients are needed in lower quantities but are still necessary for optimal tree health. Micronutrients are Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Boron and Copper.

The Elemental soil treatment is a prescriptive approach, following a soil test. The application of multiple Organic, OMRI certified soil amendments, provides necessary macronutrients and micronutrients that are required for optimal tree health. This includes the application of organic compost that we apply as a beneficial topdressing. The treatment provides bio-available elements and microbial inoculants to replenish depleted soils
