Tree Care Tips

Among the most beautiful experiences in our profession are the moments when we manage to save a tree that other supposed experts have already given up on and recommended felling. This summer, my sons had such an experience when they were asked to assess an apple tree that was unlikely to be saved. It had […]

In the wild and in home gardens, isolated trees from former groves are particularly vulnerable to wind and weather. I am often asked, “Are the storms getting stronger, or are the trees more vulnerable than they used to be?” In fact, both are true. Natural events such as heavy rains and violent storms are occurring […]

The weather, the temperature and the energy costs… Surely these are even more important topics for you than already in the previous years. Because of the energy costs, we humans have wished for a mild winter. For the trees, however, moderate temperatures in winter mean double stress. This is because the growing season starts earlier. […]

Are you also worried whether your trees will survive the winter safely? This concern is absolutely justified, because the trees are very weakened by the long-lasting heat periods of the last summers. The trees have not yet shed all their leaves. All the more reason for me and my sons to notice a disturbing phenomenon […]

Historic lows are being reported in the river levels, and there is a high risk of fire in the forests. In many places, water has to be rationed. England is suffering from the hottest summer in 50 years. The consequences of climate change have reached us much earlier and far more drastically than experts had […]

We have built up a relationship of trust with many customers over the decades. Friendships have grown out of it.

When new customers approach […]

2022 threatens to be another too dry year. The weather forecasts, high temperatures and far too little rain, mean the greatest stress for the trees in our parks and gardens. The “Spiegel” put it in a nutshell a few days ago: “Hardly ever have the trees in Germany fared as badly as they do today.” […]

Tree owners know that regular, professional inspection is essential, for a safe life of your trees as well as for legal liability reasons. We offer our inspection service at your location at no cost or obligation. In fact, as part of their duty of care, tree owners are required by law to perform professional tree […]

However, squirrels and woodpeckers in the tree are definitely a warning sign that your tree could be acutely endangered! The reason are cavities in the trunk and possibly cracks in the bark and crown. Due to ice and snow, it is not only our own bones that are at greater risk of breakage during the […]

Today is November 15, 2021, and the German authorities report 37,504 new Corona infections. This is a sad record. The pandemic has Germany firmly in its grip again. However, this has virtually no effect on our work as tree care professionals and inspectors. Because we ensure safety. All our employees have been vaccinated and are […]
