Emerald Ash borer beetles have been a scourge on the population of Ash trees in Southeast Tennessee. It is more likely than not that you have seen an Ash succumb to the plight of this invasive insect. This destructive bug is changing our environment at an incredible rate, but there is a way to fight back!

Ash treatments are simple, effective, and far more affordable than removal. One injection of an insecticide designed to kill the EAB into the vascular system of the tree can evict the pests and prevent them from coming back for up to two years!

Potted trees need regular maintenance, but it can be easy!

I got to work on a customer's Japanese Maple, yesterday. It had been in the same pot for years, and it was overdue for a root pruning!

Pruning the roots of potted trees is critical to maintaining the health of the plant. When roots grow unchecked, they will wrap around and around the inside of their container. This is called girdling, and it causes overcrowding that stifles nutrient absorption and weakens the tree.

Periodic root pruning creates space for fresh soil, and for roots to grow in their pot, which allows the whole tree to thrive. It will also maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its container.
