Plant Health Care involves monitoring and using preventative treatments to ensure your trees stay healthy. Your Houston Arborist Company, Tree PhD Urban Forestry, takes this process very seriously. If you've ever tried to grow a plant, you know that it's not as simple as sticking it in the ground and watering it every once in a while. You have to keep an eye on its needs—and make sure it's getting what it needs—in order for the plant to thrive. The same is true for trees, and they can live for hundreds of years!
It's important to keep track of how much water your trees need so that they don't get too thirsty or too dry, which can cause serious damage.
If you notice any changes in their leaves or appearance, such as discoloration or dropping leaves, this may be an indication there is something more serious going on. It's also important to monitor the pH levels in your soil regularly so that we can adjust accordingly if necessary.
Plant health care is the process of monitoring and using preventative treatments to ensure your trees stay healthy. Your Arborist at Tree PhD Urban Forestry will inspect each tree specifically and design a treatment plan to boost the tree's overall health and vigor.
Included in this process are:
-Monitoring tree growth and development
-Conducting soil tests
-Looking at leaf color and texture, as well as overall appearance of the tree
-Conducting insect and disease assessments
