Welcome to TreeHealers
A resource for tree preservation and health in Northern Utah 's Summit & Wasatch counties
The high mountain area around Park City and Heber City has some tree problems that need attention.
Notice the spruces trees here.
Tops dying from pine tip weevils feasting on spruces. Kills the
top 2-4 feet of the tree.
Others have brown, dead galls forming on the new branch tips.
These look like pine cones growing in the wrong place. Mostly a cosmetic problem,
these insects seldom threaten the life of the tree.
Most serious is a small white scale insect. Mostly un-noticed since
it small and lives under a waxy cover. It can kill the tree. The
highest incidence of this pest in the Park Meadows area.
Aspens have their own set of problems.
Fungus growing under the bark and spreading throughout the tree.
Bark covered with gray sooty scale insects slowly sucking the life
out of the tree.
Beetles boring into the trunk, weakening the wood and providing
an entrance for more serious problems.
Aphids making sticky ‘honey dew’ that drips on your car or favorite patio chair.
Lawn that is clogged with dead grass just above the ground - called thatch. In serious cases water cannot penetrate to the roots and grass dies.
Some of these problems can be life threatening to the trees. Others are just a nuisance.
If the health, beauty and value of trees in your landscape are important to you, invite TreeHealers for a free visit to check up on yor trees and grass. We can talk about your trees and, if you like, give you a free proposal. There is no obligation.
What we do:
We fertilize trees with our own fertilizer formulation - BioMax . It has all the nutrients trees need. Plus natural live soil organisms that make a significant difference.
We apply insecticides systemicaly - inside the tree where it does not contaminate the environment, people or petsi.
Light pruning for tree health.
Fertilize lawns with BioMax for rich green grass and low thatch. Thatch is the dead grass that clogs the surface of the ground preventing water from sinking to the roots. Water that does not make it to the soil evaporates and is wasted. Spot weeding of lawns is part of each fertilization if you want. This is just the weeds not the whole area.
