Why do the leaves change color?? Now I remember!!

Why do the leaves change color?

Trees are a natural food factory. The water from the ground is soaked up by the roots and then carbon dioxide is taken from the air. Plants and trees use sunlight and water to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. This is all part of the process of photosynthesis which means “putting together with light.” Add to this the chemical Chlorophyll and that is what makes a leaf or plant green.

As the days grow shorter the sunlight decreases and there is not enough water or light for the process of photosynthesis to occur. This means that the trees rest and live off the food they stored during the summer. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the green fades that is why you see the bright reds and yellows of fall.

Invasion of the Aphids!! Damage alert!

Here is one of over 20 insect pests that contribute to health decline and death of many of the trees in the United States. They cause major tree health problems and death. These insects are the cause of significant replacement expense of yard trees and the commercial expense of future losses of forest products.

Leaf-feeding aphids are usually not damaging but large populations cause leaf changes and stunting of shoots. Aphids also produce large quantities of a sticky exudate known as honeydew, which often turns black with the growth of a sooty mold fungus. Some aphid species inject a toxin into plants, which further distorts growth. So if you see one or even suspect these pests are around call us!

Here are some examples of the damage aphids can do and what they look like close up!

Planning on adding a tree? Some questions you should ask!

If you are planning on re-doing your landscape or maybe adding to your current yard…consider adding a tree! Trees will provide a variety of enhancements to your home; however here are some items to take into consideration.

Height – how large will the tree be?

Canopy Spread – just like it sounds, how wide will the tree grow?

Will the tree lose it leaves in the winter?

Form or shape when fully grown? Several varieties such as columnar, round, and V-shaped are available.

What are the soil and sun requirements?

Fruit tree? Beautiful but we have all seen the messy sidewalks!

Looking for a hardy colorful tree? Consider the Desert Willow!

Large trees are beautiful and provide plenty of shade! However due to the size of yards and planting space..consider a smaller tree! The Desert Willow is airy and its foliage casts a light shade making the space around its base suitable for many other plants! This tree does well in the desert and does not need alot of water to survive. HARDY!!

Symptoms that your tree is not feeling well!! Catch in time!

Step 2 of the checklist for your trees..examine trunk and branches. Is the bark injured? This could be caused by mowers, animals or girding wire. Insect activity? Holes, chewing activity or tunnels? Has your tree been damaged by the elements? Hail, ice and wind can all cause damage. If you see this type of damage give us a... call. It is less expensive to treat atree than to remove a tree!

Check for any sticky wet substance oozing from the bark? This could be a sign of infection. Look for decay or hollowing of the truck. Fungal corks portruding? Do cross sections of twigs and look for brown or green streaks if you see this may indicate infection by vascular wilt fungus! Most of these can be cured if treated in time!
