Spotted strange little bags or messy webs in your trees lately?

You might be looking at bagworms or fall webworms — two pests that show up strong in Kansas City right about now.

Bagworms:
- Look like tiny pinecone-shaped “bags” hanging from branches
- Can strip evergreen trees like arborvitae, spruce, and juniper
- Hard to spot until they’ve done real damage

Webworms:
- Build large, messy silk tents in the outer ends of branches
- Often show up in hackberry, walnut, pecan, and mulberry trees
- Not usually deadly — but they sure are ugly

Now’s the time to check your trees and take action before damage spreads. Early treatment is way easier (and cheaper) than trying to reverse the damage later.

National Tree Day – Let’s Hear It for the Trees!

Today is National Tree Day — and we’re here for it.
Not just because we care for trees every day, but because they quietly shape our lives.

🌳 They clean our air.
🌳 They shade our homes.
🌳 They anchor our landscapes and neighborhoods.
🌳 And sometimes… they just give us the perfect spot to hang a hammock.

In Kansas City, trees face heat, pests, storms, and drought stress — and most of the time, they don’t ask for much in return.

So today, take a moment to appreciate the ones in your yard, your street, your park.
(And if they’re looking a little tired — we’re happy to help them out.)

Iron Chlorosis Alert – We’re Tagging Trees!
Noticed yellow leaves in your trees lately?
You might be seeing signs of Iron Chlorosis, a common tree condition in Kansas City that weakens oaks, maples, and other favorites.

Our Martz Bros Tree Doctors are out in neighborhoods this month tagging trees that show visible symptoms.
If you’ve seen a tag on your tree — or if the leaves look pale and veiny — give us a call.

Early treatment = healthier trees + stronger neighborhoods.

Slow the Water, Save the Roots
Most trees don’t need more water - they need the right kind of watering.
In Kansas City’s mid-summer heat, surface-level sprinklers just don’t cut it.

Here’s why deep watering matters:
- Tree roots stretch 12–24 inches below the surface
- Quick sprays only wet the top inch or two — barely enough to cool the mulch
- Deep watering encourages root growth downward, which makes trees more drought-resistant and stable long-term

How to do it right:
- Use a soaker hose or set your hose to a slow trickle
- Water at the drip line (where the canopy ends), not right at the trunk
- Go for a long, slow soak - about once a week depending on conditions

It’s not about how often - it’s about how deeply.
Your trees will thank you in August.

Questions? We're here. https://www.martzbroslawn.com/tree-doctor/consult-a-certified-arborist/

Last Call for Ash Tree Treatments — Tell Your Neighbors!
Overland Park began its second phase of Ash street tree removal and replacement on June 17 - and your participation can help preserve our canopy!

If your street ash tree has received at least 3 certified trunk injections or 6 years of treatment by a trained arborist, you may be able to save it. You must act before removal crews begin work in your neighborhood.

What to do now:
- Gather proof of your treatments
- Submit to the City Forester via their official form (link in bio/comment)
Treated trees that qualify can be spared, and help retain a healthy, diverse tree canopy

Why it matters:
OP plans to remove thousands of ash street trees in this large-scale program
Treated trees that qualify can be spared, and help retain a healthy, diverse tree canopy

Last chance to make your voice heard:
“Tell your neighbors. Preserve your neighborhood. Don’t lose your trees.”

Your trees may be looking tough… but July heat can take a serious toll.
In Kansas City, even mature trees show signs of stress when drought conditions kick in.

Here’s what to watch for:
- Leaves turning yellow or brown early
- Wilting or curling leaves
- Scorched edges or dry, brittle foliage
- Early leaf drop — especially on younger trees

If you’re seeing any of these signs, your tree may be calling for help - usually in the form of deep, consistent watering. (Shallow sprinkler passes won’t cut it!)

Not sure if your trees are okay? We’re happy to take a look and let you know what’s normal - and what’s not.

🍂 Leaf drop in June? That’s not a seasonal glitch—it’s a stress signal.

If your tree is dropping leaves early this summer, it may be reacting to:
🔻 Heat or drought stress
🪱 Insect activity (hello, borers & mites)
🌱 Root compaction or lack of nutrients
🌳 Old age or underlying disease

It doesn’t always mean disaster—but it does mean your tree needs attention.

🧠 Our team can evaluate the canopy, soil, root zone, and trunk health to figure out what’s really going on—before the damage becomes permanent.

📞 Schedule a tree health assessment with Martz Bros this week. Because your trees don’t have a voice—but we do. 💚

Summer Tree Pruning: What Helps & What Hurts
🌳 Thinking about trimming your trees this summer?
Here’s what you should and shouldn’t do when the clippers come out:

✅ DO:
✂️ Prune small dead or damaged limbs—especially after storms
🌿 Make clean, angled cuts just outside the branch collar
🌤️ Choose a dry, mild day to reduce stress on the tree
📏 Thin crowded branches to improve airflow (great for fungal prevention!)

🚫 DON’T:
🔪 Top or severely cut back a healthy tree (this weakens it long-term)
🌳 Prune during extreme heat or drought
🪵 Leave torn stubs or peel bark—invite disease & pests
😬 Try to DIY large or high-up limbs (hello, danger)

Your trees are a long-term investment—make every cut count.
Not sure what to trim or what to leave? We’ll inspect, guide, or handle it for you. 🌿
