Graf Tree Care

John and Sherry Turner - Bartlett Illinois

TurnerHere is a site where we have annually root fed 11 Oaks with incredible success. Twice we have inoculated the root systems with Mycorhizzae, a bio-root stimulant. In the in-between years, we fed them with organic fertilizers. The client's testimonial tells the story.

"We built our house in 2005 on a heavily wooded lot with eleven large, mature oaks that our builder had to work around. Knowing the sensitivity of Oaks to soil compaction damage and to the root system, we consulted Graf Tree Care as to what could be done to protect the trees. He recommended using Mycorhizzae to help strengthen the root system and after several seasons use a root feeding. The results speak for themselves. One oak is only inches from our house and the roots were literally chopped in half when they laid the foundation. All of our oaks are thriving, including our "house hugger". Thank you Phil."

The thanks are echoed right back to you John and Sherry!

EAB Update

Many of you have been wondering if we will need to treat your Ash trees earlier this year. As soon as the Ash trees fully leaf out, and uptake is strong, we will be out treating trees. As usual we can't wait for leaf out to unveil some tremendous success stories with your Ash trees.

PHC Alerts

Keep in mind that Pine and Spruce trees, and all evergreens are under tremendous stress to begin this year.  These trees desiccate year round, and with warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low soil moisture, we believe these trees are under stress already. Root feeding and proper watering will be more important than ever this season.
Fungicides are now complete on Crab Apples and Hawthorns, as well as the first insecticide spray for Pine Moth.  In the coming weeks, we will be spraying fungicides on Pine and Spruce for fungal diseases such as Diplodia Tip Blight and Rhizospheara Needle Cast.
