When was the last time you had a tree care professional take a close look at your trees to evaluate their health? According to the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), trees should be treated much like people when it comes to their health and should have periodic exams and treatments in order to preserve and prolong their health.
Jim Skiera, the Executive Director for the ISA, says “Adopting a plant healthcare program can help prevent problems or keep them from getting serious. When homeowners and professionals work together, everyone benefits. Drastic, costly maintenance can be avoided while the value of the entire property increases.”
While a plant healthcare program should be catered to the individual needs of the trees on the property, all plant healthcare programs should focus on the health and growth of the trees, as well as the beauty of the yard, according to the ISA. The basics of a plant healthcare program usually include preventative care, frequent check-ups, early detection of issues, and routine treatments for long term health, among others.
