What is topping a tree?

Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role. Other names for topping including “heading,” “tipping,” “hat-racking,” and “rounding over.”

Topping is perhaps the most harmful tree pruning practice known. It is usually done to reduce the size of a tree. Often, homeowners top their trees because they feel that they have become too large for their property and are a hazard. However, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long term and is very harmful to the health of a tree.

Tree on the top has been topped off! Look at the difference. If you need to have your trees trimmed call a Professional!

Spring is in the air! “Ash trees in the valley are starting to bud” This is what a healthy ash bud should look like. Make sure your trees are getting enough water to ensure healthy trees for the spring.”

Ash trees are susceptible to ash tree borers and other pests and disease. Keep ash trees as healthy as possible through regular monitoring, pruning, fertilizing and watering. By following these steps, you can help prevent ash tree problems from starting.

Just as with other trees Ash trees are susceptible to diseases and pests! Some of these can cause severe damage.

Emerald Ash Borer – This invasive wood-boring beetle has killed millions of ash trees in the United States by attacking the tree’s nutrient carrying vessels. Look for S-shaped galleries on the underside of the bark and D-shaped exit holes

Anthracnose – This disease results in extensive defoliation, shoot dieback, and twig death of ash trees. Often confused with frost damage, signs of anthracnose include brown areas on ash tree leaves, canker on the trunk and main branches, and purplish-brown areas along the veins of the leaves.

Ash Yellows – This disease affects mostly white and green ash trees. It is characterized by a loss of vigor over the years. Leaves may start to yellow and develop early fall color. The ash tree may lose leaves and cankers may start to form on the trunk and branches, causing dieback.

Verticullium Wilt – This infection results in cankers and dieback.

Other Ash Tree diseases and Pests include:

* Banded ash clearwing

* Ash flowergall mite

* Ash rust

* Powdery mildew

* Ash Anthracnose

* Cankers

* Butt rots

* Root rots

Thinking about decorating your yard? “An important thing to keep in mind is the electric bill that will come with using a lot of lights. Sometimes smaller is better. If the yard is too cluttered, things will be missed. Use a good design and chose something to be the focus of the decorations. Lay out things on paper fir…st to see if you like the way they will look. You might even take a photo of the front of your house, print it out and play with scale drawings of the decorations you want to use to see if you’ll like it.”
