Did you know that the sudden appearance of brown foliage on evergreen trees and shrubs that we see in March and April is often a result of winter desiccation? Every spring we get calls from property owners wondering why their cedars, spruces, yews, junipers and boxwoods are suddenly showing signs of browning foliage in March and April. Here is a brief explanation of the problem, and some practical ways to prevent your evergreens from desiccating this winter.
Have you been noticing large spots on your Norway maple leaves this summer and are concerned that they could be a serious issue? Here’s an easy-to-understand review of what the culprit is, and what it means for your beautiful trees.
Hot and windy weather can be very stressful for newly installed beautiful trees and shrubs. Newly planted trees and shrubs require more water because they have such a small root system.

Roots need to absorb enough water from the soil to support the plant daily, and much of a young plant’s needed nutrition comes in as dissolved nutrients within that soil water.
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae) is an aphid-like insect that attacks and kills hemlock trees. Its egg sacs, which look like cotton balls or clumps of snow, can be found at the base of needles. It can be spread by wind, animals and human movement of nursery stock, logs, firewood and other wood products.
