As winter descends upon Kansas City, it brings with it a unique set of challenges for our beloved trees. While the cityscape transforms into a picturesque winter wonderland, the trees, like silent sentinels, face distinctive hurdles that demand careful attention and specialized care. In this chapter, we'll explore the particular challenges posed by Kansas City winters and how understanding these nuances is key to effective winter tree care.
Winter, with its crisp air and blanket of snow, transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland. While it may seem that trees hibernate during these colder months, the truth is, winter matters significantly for the health and vitality of our leafy companions. In this chapter, we'll delve into the unique aspects of winter and why it plays a crucial role in the life cycle of trees.
Hey there, tree enthusiasts and winter warriors! Welcome to another leafy adventure brought to you by Cartwright Tree Care. Today, we're diving into the frosty realm of snowball fights and the incredible strategies our trees employ to handle the weight of all that snow. Curious? Let's spill the secrets on how trees manage to dodge snowball attacks and stand tall in the winter wonderland of Kansas City, Missouri.
Brrrrrrrr! The 2022 Farmer's Almanac comes with a chilly prediction or warning..... "Prepare for a season of shivers" this winter brings frigid and frosty below-average temperatures across most of the United States and here in Kansas City this prediction deems to be true (so far)!
One day, not so long ago in Kansas City, it was very cold; winter was coming. And all the birds flew away to the warm south, to wait for the spring. The official first day of winter is December 21st, but you shouldn't wait until then to have your trees inspected for potential winter time risks! Remember last year? We had a few snowy/icy events that left people scrambling with tree damage. This year, we've received a lot of questions about trimming - or even - removing trees to prevent the potential risk.
We are well into snowy weather this year in the Kansas City area, folks. This means that we've seen quite a few snowflakes, had our fair share of bristling cold weather, seen plenty of frost on the ground, and probably had to take it easy on the road to avoid any slipping and sliding from black ice. It also means that your trees have been affected! Because of the harsher temperatures and accumulations of snowfall, trees become particularly vulnerable to damage at this time. We often see storms that compromise the health of our customers' trees. Because people can't just plan for the unexpected, we know we have to be able to help you if we want to live up to our vision of providing the best possible care. Allow us to share with you how Cartwright Tree Care plans to help you with your tree damage repair.
So, what are you to do if you're going to keep on top of taking care of this issue? We believe that we can most certainly help.

Cartwright Tree Care is most concerned with providing the highest level of service to our clients. Part of this service is providing education. As December progresses, we head further into cold and icy weather. We're going to overview a lesser known trick that you can use this winter to ensure your trees remain in best health over the snowy season. We'll share about the best ice melt that you can use. Before we begin, we invite you to keep following and sharing the 'News' portion of our website. This way you can share our tips with your friends who may need them and continue to learn about how to properly care for your trees and other vital parts of your property.
We want you to feel that you are ready for any weather conditions on the way. So, today we are going to share tips about the best ice melt for your trees. It's nice to know you've done your utmost to maintain a healthy and safe property, right? Yes, that's correct. On a side note, we have a 'How To Videos' portion of our website. You can find information about trimming and fertilization over there.
Back to today's purpose, though. Let's discuss the proper way to make sure that your trees are in good condition amidst any use of chemicals to rid ice on your property. Many rock salts contain sodium chloride. This chemical is highly detrimental to your trees, though. It can harm them by making it impossible for the roots to absorb water. Moreover, it also makes it very difficult for them to absorb any oxygen or any other necessary nutrients. So, please make sure that you use a melting agent that does NOT have this harsh chemical. You'll be glad you did. We promise.
You ask, "What am I to do if I don't use my regular rock salt?" Rest assured because Cartwright Tree Care has you covered with some helpful tips about the best ice melt. You can find melting agents that have chemical properties including calcium, potassium, or magnesium chloride. All of these are significantly less harmful to your trees than the aforementioned sodium chloride.
It's a win-win for everybody. You'll still melt the ice on your property that could produce any hazardous conditions. However, instead of the harm that your trees have had to sustain in previous winters, you'll be giving them a chance to breathe, quite literally. Now you can have a safe property and a strong plot of trees because you know how to use the best ice melt available.
