I have become very passionate about trees and plant material. In recent years we have had extreme temperatures and moistures changes - way out of the norm. We have had three record warm temperature days this past February alone. Our degree day today is higher than any year I have seen since I have been keeping track in 5 years. Morton Arboretum says this is the earliest first bloom report they have seen since 1998 https://mortonarb.org/blog/spring-bloom-report-march-1-march-7/.
What does that mean? Our trees and plant material are stressed. We have been our educating homeowners and business owners on how to help their trees. We would be happy to come visit and talk about root flare, mulch rings, watering instructions and fertilization.
