Do Trees Die From the Top Down?
Urban trees have many more challenges to contend with than their rural counterparts do. Root space is at a premium, water isn't as readily available and the risk of damage due to accidents is higher. Because of this, urban trees tend to have shorter lifespans than rural trees.
But unless you are a qualified arborist, assessing the condition of an ailing tree can be difficult. Trees exhibit symptoms of distress in many different ways.
Stump Grinding Tips: How to Protect Your Plants
Stump grinding is a fast way to remove an old tree stump after the rest of the tree has come down. Stump grinders cut into the stump and break it into chips.
While this makes short work of the stump, it isn't a contained process. The grinder is a monster machine that chews up and spits out wood. The debris that the machine creates can fly all over your garden.
About Me
Welcome. My name is Amie, and I am a lifelong gardener. I have also nursed a few trees back to health, and in this blog, I am going to share many of the things I know about trees and how to take care of them. I'm not a professional arborist, but I have had my hands in the soil since I was a young girl, and I'm confident my knowledge can help others. I am a swimming coach, and I sell seedlings at a local farmers market in the spring. I have been married for sixteen years to may fabulous partner Bryan, and we have two children together. Thank you so much for reading!
