A perfect topic for the 150th Arbor Day celebration, we're discussing tree root crown excavation with staff arborist, Tchukki Andersen at the Tree Care Industry Association. When trees have yellowing leaves but no apparent signs of overwatering, drainage or pest issues, the answer could be below the surface. When all options have been explored, it may be necessary to bring in a professional to excavate the soil from the roots of the tree to test for any deceases or pathogens that may be affecting the tree. It's a fascinating process and Tchukki helps walk through what it entails.CONNECT WITH USEnjoy this episode or have questions? We want to hear from you.

If you grow fruit trees, one of the most important things you can do for the overall tree health and production, is proper pruning. But before you grab your tools and start cutting back your trees, fruit tree owners need to start with a goal in mind, as well as a plan.

Improper pruning is one of the biggest challenges trees face in our towns and cities. It could be someone using a polesaw to trim the branches away from their house or the so called “tree guy” that strips all the limbs and foliage out of the center of our tree, leaving twigs and leaves only at the end of the branch—known as lion’s-tailing. One of the best defenses against improper pruning is the climbing arborist. They can get up into a tree, fully assess its needs and properly prune the tree.
