Trees, like people, are vulnerable to
disease. Dutch Elm Disease has killed countless Elms. Oak
Wilt has killed countless Oaks. The sites below describe
these diseases and more that damage a variety of trees in
North America. And they give expert views on tree care and
disease control.
The sites talk about when and where and if wounds should
be sealed. Views on these subjects vary by tree species
and where they are located. What is universally agreed is
that if our priceless trees are to survive, people who
prune them must know about best practices for their trees
in their part of the country. They need to understand the
risks and diseases their trees are subject to. Knowledge
is the best tool for people who want to become partners in
responsible care.
The listed sites are from government, education and
commerce, a starter kit of good advice. A good idea is to
visit your state extension services to become better
informed about your trees in your state.
There’s a world of excellent information available on the
web.
We hope you’ll care responsibly for your
trees. And we hope you’ll include Pruner’s Pal in your
tool kit to make pruning and other jobs easy and
effective.
Good luck with maintaining your trees. The
Pal can help, and he’s ready. |
