Tree Pruning San Jose

Happy Holidays to all of you from all of us here at 

Anderson's Tree Care 

Its that time of year again where we are on a constant go, go, go... with holiday shopping, family, great food, friends, and all the above. But with that being said, here in the bay area, though the holidays can definitely consume a lot of your time, but we still all need to be prepared for El Nino that is going to hit us pretty good according to experts. Are your tree's prepared for a storm of that caliber? 

With the worst drought that we have ever had in recorded history, our tree's are not in the best of shape as they once were when we had a normal flow of rain. Do you know what you are doing when it comes to taking care of your trees?  Here is a great tip for all of you from CAL Fire:

Watering isn't just the only aspect when it comes to maintaining your trees, Pruning is just as important.

Here at Anderson's Tree Care Specialists, Inc. we have the services that arborists provide. We are a San Jose tree pruning company. Our arborists can determine the type of tree pruning necessary to maintain and improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees.

These techniques include:

• Eliminating branches that rub each other, removing limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, or windows, or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
• Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay
• Removing diseased or insect-infected limbs creating better structure to lessen wind resistance and reduce the potential for storm damage.
• Training young trees.
• Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions.
• Removing branches, or thinning, to increase light penetration.
• Improving the shape or silhouette of the tree.

Pruning your trees on a regular basis keeps them healthy and beautiful. There are many tree pruning methods for different species of trees, and for how you want your trees to grow. Pruning a tree can help bring more sunlight to your lawn for healthy grass growth. It can also help keep your roof and gutters clear of debris. And keep those squirrels from getting in your house.

Tree root pruning process:

Trenching and digging in the soil near trees can cut roots, and this can damage the tree resulting in tree decline or the tree falling over. This is now a liability and there are many safety concerns. Root pruning is more dangerous for older mature trees than it is for younger more vigorous trees. Cutting roots greater than about one inch diameter during trenching and digging can mean problems for the tree. In some cases roots of one to three inches diameter represent the major structural roots holding the tree upright.

The impact from pruning roots depends on several factors. Damage typically increases with more cuts, bigger cuts, and cuts made closer to the trunk. Root pruning, trenching, and other construction activities close to the trunk result in more injury on shallow, compacted soils or on soils that drain poorly than on well drained soils. This is due to the shallow roots common on sites with shallow soils or high water table. Trees that are leaning are poor candidates for root pruning.

Factors affecting response of trees to root pruning:

• Root Size - Larger roots may generate few new roots.
• Number of Cut Roots - More roots cut means more tree stress.
• Proximity of Cuts to the Trunk - The closer cuts are to the trunk the bigger the impact.
• Species - Some species tolerate it better than others.
• Tree Age - Old trees are more likely to stress and die.
• Tree Condition - Trees in poor health should not be root pruned.
• Tree Lean - Leaning trees should not be root pruned.
• Soil Type & Site Drainage: Shallow soils mean stay farther from the trunk.

Here we are in our 4th year of this historic drought, mandatory water reductions, dead grass, plants and shrubs becoming non existent, and our trees dying off.

With a 25% mandatory water usage cut back, many people are choosing not to turn on their sprinklers in fear of fines and have more or less just let everything go. This is not good! Many arborists and state officials are worried about a ripple effect: Nearby urban trees going neglected and becoming diseased and dying.

Did you know?

Across the state over 12 million trees have died in the last year due to lack of water according to the U.S. Forest Service. Though the bulk of these trees have died outside of urban areas, we are now finding that the same is now happening in our urban areas where mandatory water restrictions are heavily enforced. 

STOP

You do not want to cut back on water to your trees, because your trees cannot adjust. What studies are finding is the trees that are lacking in water are now more susceptible to diseases and are ultimately killing off your trees. What this means to you is their is now a greater chance today then ever before of a tree crashing down and endangering not only your home, your family, but also anything in it's surrounding area.

Drought/Insects have now claimed more than 12 million trees

California in it's historic drought has definitely taken its toll on not only "us" the consumers of water, but has definitely effected our beloved trees. Lingering drought, rising temperatures and outbreaks of tree-killing pests such as bark beetles have spurred an increase in widespread tree mortality. With that being said, it is important for you the homeowner to recognize the effects and the toll it is taking on your trees. 

The biggest risk a homeowner can face is public branch-dropping hazards, or trees such as the California sycamore and the coast live oak have started to succumb to the killer beetle/drought creating a fire risk in the form of dead, dry tinder.

We all need to be cognizant of our surroundings and make sure that we are taking the time to schedule a skilled arborist to come to your property to make sure that your trees are not only safe, if in the reach of the public, but are also healthy and not at risk of dying.
