Pruning your OWN Trees



Yes, we hired an arborist to prune our own trees on our property.
We have an ornamental plum tree in our front yard that was showing evidence of disease: black knot disease to be exact. The cure is to prune judiciously, spray with a fungicide and feed the tree back to good health. We're using an arborist who is certified in the best practices of the industry and who, well, loves trees.
Our fruit plum tree in the back was just overgrown and needed thinning and pruning.



Now they both look MUCH better. Over the next year they will get some fertilizer and they should both do well.
