Spring Growth
Warm temperatures, light winds, plenty of available moisture, what else could you ask for? Not much if you’re a tree! Conditions are optimal for growth right now, and woody shrubs and trees are responding. We have observed up to 12″ of terminal extensions in the first few weeks of spring. This is outstanding. We will hope and pray that the trend continues with regards to available moisture. With optimal conditions for growth comes the inevitable insect activity. We are seeing an increase in problematic pest activity. Watch your trees closely. If the leaves begin to curl, brown, droop, or do other strange things, contact you Arborist for a check-up.
