<h2>

MILWAUKEE - Strong winds kept a lot of people in southeast Wisconsin
tossing and turning overnight. Mother nature also knocked down trees
and knocked out power.<br />
Near KK and Howard the wind is likely to blame for knocking a large tree onto a car.<br />
We Energies spokesman Brian Manthey explained that 1,500 customers
were without power in Greenfield, 800 in West Bend and 800 in Grafton.<br />
Another We Energies spokesman, Barry McNulty, said other morning
outages were found in the City of Milwaukee, Franklin (with 1,200
customer outages), Glendale, Wauwatosa and West Allis.<br />
McNulty blamed “tree contact, trees wires, some reports of trees down, limbs that have come in contact with our wires.” </blockquote>

Fall and early winter are an effective time to use
pesticides, a broad term that includes products that kill insect pests
and also kill weeds (herbicides). <a href="https://www.thegreenmancompany.com/">Waukesha tree and Landscaping</a> professionals at Green Man recommends. <br />
<br />
<div align="left">
<b>Insect pests </b></div>
Many people don’t have to use pesticides at
all,” says Peter Gerstenberger, senior advisor for safety, standards and
compliance for the Tree Care Industry Association. “Professionals may
be able to solve landscape problems without pesticides by choosing
non-chemical alternatives, such as sanitation procedures and selecting
shrubs and ornamental trees that are less susceptible to diseases and
insects. <br />
For example, an infestation last year may
only require all the old plant material be cut out, Often, cultural practices (pruning, raking leaves, etc.)
will go a long way toward solving pest problems.” <br />
For homeowners who decide to use pesticides, the Tree Care Industry Association offers these suggestions: <br />
<ul>
<li> Identify the pest first. There is no use in applying a pesticide that won’t address your pest problem. </li>
<li> Don’t be tempted to use agricultural
chemicals. They aren’t designed for use by homeowners. A small
miscalculation in the mixing of a small batch could result in drastic
overdosing. </li>
<li> Buy the least toxic chemical. Most
chemicals available to homeowners use the signal words “caution,”
“warning,” or “danger” on their labels. Try to avoid those with the
“warning” and “danger” labels, as they are more hazardous. </li>
<li> Never mix herbicides with other kinds of
pesticides, and never use the same equipment to spray herbicides and
other pesticides. You could unintentionally kill the plants you are
trying to protect. </li>
<li> Don’t mix or store pesticides in food
containers, and don’t measure pesticides with the measuring cups and
spoons you use in the kitchen. Always store pesticides in the original
container with the label intact. </li>
</ul>
<div align="left">
The best choice may be to
consult a professional who can diagnose pest problems and recommend
chemical or non-chemical alternatives. A beautiful lawn, shrub or tree
isn’t worth the trade-off if pesticides are not being used properly. </div>
<div align="left">
<b>Herbicides </b></div>
<div align="left">
Fall is a good time to inspect
walkways, driveways and patios for those annoying trapped seeds. Despite
drought and frequent sweeping, some seeds from weeds, grasses and trees
will have germinated, lining joints with unsightly green. Other seeds
simply lie in wait until the spring. This new growth must be stopped
before the growing season arrives and those small cracks become gaping
holes filled with vegetation. </div>
<div align="left">
Herbicides are the most
cost-effective way of eliminating unwanted weeds, but homeowners need to
be careful when using herbicides! When they are used improperly, they
can just as easily kill your valuable mature trees and shrubs as
sprouting weeds. Only products approved for use on non-crop areas should
be considered. Users should read the product label to ensure proper
application methods. </div>
<div align="left">
“Herbicides should not be
applied on or near desirable trees,” cautions Gerstenberger, “or on
areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the herbicide
may be washed or move into contact with their roots. Even properly
applied chemical applications may be affected by rainfall. Some
herbicides can be washed off paved surfaces or soak into the ground
through the cracked joints – the very place with the greatest
concentration of fine tree roots.” </div>
<div align="left">
If you are thinking about using
herbicides, hire professional arborists. They will choose the correct

When is it a good time to prune a tree? Tree pruning is best to be done when the tree is most dormant. <a href="https://www.thegreenmancompany.com/">Green Man Tree and Landscape of Waukesha</a> can help! Here are some tips from the <a href="http://www.arborday.org/">arbor day foundation</a>.</h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<h2>
Winter Pruning</h2>
Pruning during dormancy is the most common practice. It results in a vigorous burst of new growth in the spring and should be used if that is the desired effect. It is usually best to wait until the coldest part of winter has passed. Some species, such as maple, walnuts and birches, may “bleed”—when the sap begins to flow. This is not harmful and will cease when the tree leafs out.<br />
<h2>
Summer Pruning</h2>
To direct the growth by slowing the branches you don’t want; or to slow “dwarf” the development of a tree or branch, pruning should be done soon after seasonal growth is complete. The reason for the slowing effect is that you reduce the total leaf surface, thereby reducing the amount of food manufactured and sent to the roots. Another reason to prune in the summer is for corrective purposes. Defective limbs can be seen more easily, or limbs that hang down too far under the weight of the leaves.<br />
<h2>
Pruning Flowering Trees to Enhance Flowering</h2>
If your purpose for pruning is to enhance flowering:<br />
<ol>
<li>For trees that bloom in spring, prune when their flowers fade.</li>
<li>Trees and shrubs that flower in mid- to late summer should be pruned in winter or early spring</li>
</ol>

Got mulch? You can use less water and improve the
health of your trees and plants by using a layer of mulch, three to four inches
deep, around your trees. Instead of having your “yard waste” hauled away, you
can mulch by simply allowing fallen leaves and other plant matter to stay on the
ground.</div>
<br />
Here's how to mulch:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uwFnTcuKrPJOg8mVJYYEo321YPk30Xh_oZpCmIDuWq4dQIvYK6uhh-yiPNaN7N13sAg0T0rYavJC_zjThl3DsdokiiCsWxcVBj3SIMzzeaizVVb0UA0RLpW-gvTa8MBblQ2k-jfdgTFE/s1600/green+man.jpeg.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uwFnTcuKrPJOg8mVJYYEo321YPk30Xh_oZpCmIDuWq4dQIvYK6uhh-yiPNaN7N13sAg0T0rYavJC_zjThl3DsdokiiCsWxcVBj3SIMzzeaizVVb0UA0RLpW-gvTa8MBblQ2k-jfdgTFE/s200/green+man.jpeg.gif" width="163" /></a></div>
<br />
<h2>
1. Make or obtain mulch</h2>
<br />
To make your own: When you prune trees, you can chip the non-diseased
branches into mulch using a chipper or your own pruning tools. Chippers will
work on branches up to 3 inches in diameter. You can purchase or rent one from
home improvement stores or equipment rental businesses. Or Contact <a href="http://www.thegreenmancompany.com/">Green Man Tree Services</a> and we can do this for you.<br />
<br />
Do not use grass clippings as mulch around plants. They smother the soil and
do not allow oxygen to get into the soil. Compost your grass clippings
instead.<br />
<br />
Under existing trees and shrubs, allow the leaves and branches to fall and
stay on the soil. Do not rake them up and throw them away, unless they are
diseased.<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Remove weeds</h2>
<br />
Remove weeds from around the base of the tree before mulching.<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. Break up the soil</h2>
<br />
If the soil surface is highly compacted, break up the surface using a metal
rake or shovel before mulching.<br />
<br />
<h2>
4. Place the mulch</h2>
<br />
Place a 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch around the tree. Keep the mulch at least
2 inches away from the base of the tree. If possible, mulch all the way out to
the dripline (the dripline is the area that reaches out from the trunk and
extends to the end of the branches). Be sure to mulch over the berm if you've
created one around your tree.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Additional mulching tips & resources</h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Tree pruning and landscape maintenance companies are another good source for
mulch. Call Green Man Wood Services in Milwaukee and Waukesha at 414-301-9807.
</li>
<li>Do not buy sawdust or wood shavings for mulch. These won’t allow enough air
into the soil.
</li>
<li>Wood or bark chips work best when they are between one and three inches in
size. Pieces smaller than that can smother the soil and do not allow enough
oxygen to get into the soil. Larger pieces get kicked around or can cause
tripping.</li>
</ul>

What do you need to do next?<br />
<br />
Well, it's not easy being green, especially for a young tree in a city. A
tree's needs sound simple: healthy soil, air, water and sunlight. But sometimes these needs can be hard to come by.<br />
<br />
That's where you can help.<br />
<br />
Follow these basic tree care tips to ensure that the trees you plant grow and
mature:<br />

</h2>
<br />
Pull any weeds that grow within 4 feet of your tree.<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Check the stake</h2>
<br />
Check the tree stake to make sure it is not rubbing or damaging the tree.<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. Check the ties</h2>
<br />
Check the tree ties to make sure they are secure, but allow some tree
movement. Trees will grow a stronger room system and trunk if allowed some
wiggle room.<br />
<br />
<h2>
4. Mulch</h2>
<br />
Keep a 3 to 4-inch layer of mulch on the soil around your tree. Do not place
any mulch up against the trunk of your tree. See our mulching guidelines for more information.<br />

</ul>
Tree care during a drought in Waukesha and other areas<br />
<ul jquery1375114226290="516">
<li>Water is one of the most important things trees need. Trees take in water by
their roots but many people water the leaves of their trees, creating an
environment for disease. Instead, adjust sprinkler heads down to water the soil.
Some sprinkler heads may need the nozzle changed to a flat spray.
</li>
<li>Do not water near the trunk unless you’ve planted the tree within the last
four or five years. Instead, water the area under the drip-line (edge of the
branches) where the tree’s root system extends.
</li>
<li>Water slowly, this allows water to adhere to soil particles on its way down.
Soaker hoses and drip irrigation work well.
</li>
<li>Mulch is a gardener’s best friend. A three to four inch layer of wood chips
spread on bare ground will reduce water evaporation, insulate roots from heat,
keep the weeds away, and give a home to beneficial microorganisms.
</li>
<li>Avoid over-fertilizing your trees or you may find that sap-sucking insects
such as aphids, white fly and scale are paying you a warm weather visit. Pest
populations, including insects and disease, increase rapidly with warmer
weather. Keep things in balance and you’ll reduce your problems.
</li>
<li>Mature trees: We often take our large trees for granted and forget that they
can decline in health during extended drought. Most people don’t realize the
tree is in trouble because symptoms appear first in the top center portion of
the canopy far from view.
</li>
<li>Do not prune live branches in a severe drought. Removing live tissues forces
the tree to expend energy to defend against the pruning cuts. Removing live
foliage also reduces the capacity of the tree to grow once rains return.
</li>
<li>Do not fertilize trees in extended drought since this pulls water from the
roots and forces the tree to expend precious energy to process the fertilizer.
</li>
<li>Do not dig under the canopy of the tree in drought. Digging under the tree
kills the small roots that absorb water, thus reducing the tree's capacity to
uptake water. </li>

There are many types of proper tree pruning as well as a myriad of reasons to do so.</h3>
<div align="justify">
There are two basic rules for pruning, with the first being the best time of year to prune is the latter part of winter, or just before growth begins in early spring.</div>
<div align="justify">
Time of year is probably the most critical element of proper tree pruning.</div>
<div align="justify">
If trees are pruned during dormancy (when the trees are asleep), they suffer less stress when cuts are made. Dormancy is when the trees have shed their leaves and have experienced a frost. This allows the tree to heal faster when spring arrives and the growing season begins.</div>
<div align="justify">
Cuts made out of season can induce stress on the tree, possibly leading to further problems. While an improper pruning cut will only make matters worse.</div>
<div align="justify">
The second basic rule for proper pruning is that broken limbs or branches, as well as diseased or dead wood can be removed at any time of year.</div>
<div align="justify">
Once any of the symptoms are present, they should usually be addressed as quickly as possible.</div>
<div align="justify">
Diseased limbs may spread throughout the tree and dead/broken limbs may fall at any time causing injury or possibly even death.</div>
<div align="justify">
If you have any concerns regarding proper pruning for your tree, call us and arrange an appointment any time so that we may assess your pruning needs. This will allow us to place you on our dormant list, so that we can arrange a schedule.</div>
<div align="justify">
Proper pruning is a "limited time only" or seasonal type of work and should be coordinated likewise.</div>
<h2>
Five good reasons to Prune a Tree</h2>
<ul>
<li>Remove Dead branches</li>
<li>Eliminate hazards, i.e. broken or hanging limbs</li>
<li>Remove crowded or rubbing limbs</li>
<li>Pedestrian clearance, i.e. limbs too low (raise canopy)</li>
<li>Limbs interfering with power lines or structures Green Man Tree & Landscape Services

Storm Damage Tree Removal</h2>
<div align="justify">
Storm damage comes in many different forms, i.e. tornadoes, ice, strong winds, flooding, lightning, etc. However not all storm damage requires emergency tree removal. </div>
<h2 align="justify">
Non-Emergency Storm Damage</h2>
<div align="justify">
Following a storm, after everyone has been accounted for, and weather/daylight permitting, damage assessment may then take place.</div>
<div align="justify">
Unless there are injuries, or egress routes have been compromised, there is no reason to start removing the tree from the roof in the middle of a thunderstorm.</div>
<div align="justify">

Emergency Storm Damage</h2>
<div align="justify">
Here's what to do if a tree falls on your roof during a storm. If it comes through the roof and ceiling, usually there is already a power outage, but if there is not, assume that all lines are hot, and get to a known safe area.</div>
<div align="justify">
Do not attempt to assess the damage in the dark. The best first step is to leave the premises without touching anything for fear of electrocution.</div>
<div align="justify">
Often, it's not the actual thunderstorm that causes accidents and injuries, it's the aftermath and cleanup as people are attempting to remove limbs and debris before the all-clear signal has been given by local authorities.</div>
<div align="justify">
This is the time for the homeowner to contact their insurance agent and gather necessary information to begin the claims process. This is also a good time to take pictures. Again, wait for the "all clear" from authorities. </div>
<div align="justify">
Once the storm damage site has been cleared for entry, damage assessment can begin. In some cases, the insurance adjuster may require more than one estimate before any work is approved.</div>
<div align="justify">
Remember, these are only hints, as policies vary from insurance to homeowner. Not all insurance policies are the same.</div>
<div align="justify">
Be weary of tree companies who insist on performing this work immediately. Also, beware of companies who are not locally based or those who do not meet the local regulatory requirements.</div>
<div align="justify">
Storm damage cleanup: Our goal is to accomplish this without incurring any further damage to the structure. Further damage should be kept at a minimum if at all possible.</div>

They provide cooling shade, habitat for birds, and
can increase the value of your property. This information is provided to help
you care for the trees around your residence.
<br />
There are some very good things you can do to promote heathly, long-lived
trees. And there are a number of things you will want to avoid. If in doubt,
call a member of the National ARBORIST Association or <a href="https://thegreenmancompany.com/">Green Man Tree Services of Waukesha</a> for advice specific to your
region and variety of tree or shrub.
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Topping...Don't
Do It!</b></span>
<br />
Topping or stubbing are examples of removing large branches from mature
trees. A topped tree is a disfigured tree and although it was intended to help
the tree, the opposite is the result.
When a large amount of a tree's canopy (umbrella) is removed, the crown to
root ratio is imbalanced and this adversely affects the tree's nutrition. It
also exposes the tree to the sun which can result in scalding. Topped trees
develop multiple branches or suckers, at or near the pruning cut. These branches
generally are weakly attached and are prone to failure.
A topped tree is also vunerable to disease as the stubs have a difficult time
forming protective callus and this invites invasion of fungi and insects. The
location of the topping cuts may also prevent the tree's natural defense system
from doing its job.
Finally, topping trees represents an unwarranted expense. A topped tree will
often grow back to its original height quickly, and it will be more dense than
one that has been pruned correctly. Other costs may be hidden, such as loss of
property value that a well-maintained tree will encourage. There is also
increased hazard from branches that have weakened as a result of the topping.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Inflicted Wounds</b></span>
Wounds made by climbing spikes invite infection. There will be holes in the
tree bark. These injuries often do not repair efficiently or effectively.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Mechanical Injuries</b></span>
Lawn mowers and string trimmers hitting the bark of a tree can severely
damage the inner bark and cambium near the soil line. This damage invites
insects and fungi infestation. The best advice is to remove sod from around the
base of the tree and replace with mulch.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Soil Compaction</b></span>
Compacted soil is not easily penetrated by water and air, the two basic needs
for strong, healthy roots. Soil compaction can be caused by heavy equipment used
near a tree, concrete over the root zone, even foot traffic can cause soil
compaction. Do not store items by the tree.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Take Care with New Plantings</b></span>
Do not plant a new tree with a wire basket, rope, or anything that may
constrict or "girdle" the roots. Girdled roots seriously affect the health and
the stability of a tree. Plan where you want to plant a new tree based on its
type and mature size. Be cautious when planting trees near a home foundation,
patio, driveway, under power lines, or under a home's eaves.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Excessive Soil</b></span>
Too much fill over a newly planted tree's roots can cause damage, and may
even kill some species. Take care not to plant tree too deep.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Excavation/Construction Damage</b></span>
Building foundations, driveway, sidewalk & road excavation are common
events that can cause serious damage to a tree's root system. Construction
damage may not be immediately noticeable, but over a period of years the health
of the tree will decline as a result of root damage.
A prized tree may be inadvertently, but fatally injured when care is not
taken during excavation or construction. If you are building near an existing
tree, consider calling an arborist to advise on the project during the planning
phase, before any work has begun.

Whats Good for Trees</div>
</span></h2>
<span style="color: #990000;">
</span><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pruning/Thinning</b></span>
<br />
Pruning is needed to remove dead, diseased, injured, broken, rubbing and
crowded limbs. Trees are thinned to allow for the wind and air to flow through.
Proper thinning reduces wind resistence often responsible for uprooting or
creating deformities.
A well-thinned tree reflects a skilled arborist with good judgement and it is
worthwhile investment in a valued tree. Healthy, well-formed trees increase the
value of property. And the opposite is also true.
A well-pruned tree will hardly look like it has been pruned. The tree will
retain the characteristics of its species. Some tree species are small, some are
large. A skilled arborist will not make a large tree small as that is contrary
to industry standards.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>When to Prune</b></span>
Tree pruning to remove hazardous limbs, dead and diseased branches, can be
accomplished at any time. Light pruning can usually be done at any time. Large
cuts are best made in late winter or early spring. Correct pruning is more
important than timing.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Drainage/Aeration/Vertical Mulching</b></span>
If the soil drains easily, it is usually well aerated. Soil that does not
drain, needs aeration. An adequate supply of oxygen and water to the roots is
essential. Vertical mulching can improve the soil and encourage root growth and
water uptake. For this, holes are drilled around the root zone and filled with
small gravel or other material for the purpose.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Watering</b></span>
The frequency of watering depends of the type of soil and the amount of
rainfall. Water must be allowed to soak deep into the ground. The most
beneficial time to water trees is in the early morning. Water slowly or use drip
irrigation until the water has moistened down to the roots. Do not allow water
to puddle or accumulate and runoff. This is wasteful and can be detrimental to
root growth and function.
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tree Nutrition & Fertilizing</b></span>
Trees require certain essential elements to function and grow. Fertilizing a
tree can increase growth, reduce susceptibility to certain diseases and pests,
and can help reverse declining health.<br />

Here are some storm-proofing suggestions that will pay off over time, starting with determining which trees in your landscape are the most vulnerable.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I'm a great believer in storm-proofing or preparing for anything that will have the most impact on your lifestyle," said Mark Chisholm, a third-generation arborist from Howell, N.J., and spokesman for Stihl Inc., a manufacturer of outdoor power tools.<br />
"Try to prep your house and yard if you have the time," he said.<br />
"Clear rain gutters so water will flow. Remove loose lawn furniture from decks. Stabilize trees around the house by cabling or tying them down, especially those that you know have structural flaws."<br />
<b>Additional tips:</b><br />
— Get to know an arborist or tree-care professional — now. "When a storm hits, you'll likely be prioritized as an existing customer," said Chisholm, who works with the power industry clearing debris left behind by severe weather, including Hurricane Sandy in October.<br />
— Get a pre-storm assessment to identify trouble spots. Decaying and leaning trees should be pruned, staked or removed, especially those threatening dwellings or utility lines.<br />
— Think safety during cleanup. "The stuff on the ground won't hurt you unless downed power lines are involved," Chisholm said. "It's what's overhead that's dangerous. Stress fractures or dead and broken limbs can come crashing down and do serious harm."<br />
— Be especially careful when working with chainsaws. "If a tree is on the ground, try to cut it up without harming yourself in the process," said Kim Gabel with University of Florida Extension in Key West. "If a badly damaged tree is still standing, it's not recommended that a layman climb a ladder to take care of it. Get professional help."<br />
— Patience can be a money-saver when dealing with ice or snow loads on trees. "Wait until it melts and the weight is removed to see what kind of damage was done," Chisholm said. "Trees are resilient and are capable of bouncing back."<br />
— Plant native trees rather than exotics. Some varieties fare better than others in storms, especially trees with conical branching, those with strong branch connections and trees that are small when mature, according to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.<br />
— There is strength in numbers. "Trees planted in groups survive better in high winds," Chisholm said. "They can't bend as readily to the point of failure. They also help dampen the (wind) force."<br />
— Learn how to assess damage. "If you have a tree that has lost a couple of branches of significant size but the trunk is mostly intact, that's still a keeper," said Hank Stelzer, a state forestry specialist with University of Missouri Extension. "If you lose the top of a tree from ice or a windstorm and if half or a quarter of the trunk is gone, that's a no-brainer. It should go."</blockquote>

Water should be applied at the tree’s drip line and beyond. Trees adapted to drier climates need far less irrigation than other species. If Mother Nature provides enough precipitation to wet the soil two to three feet deep, don’t apply additional water. If Mother Nature’s precipitation falls short of a full soaking, apply only enough additional water to wet the soil two to three feet deep. Apply water slowly so that it sinks deeply into the soil . Soaker hoses, drip emitters, bubblers, and hand-held hoses are preferable to sprinklers. Mulch the soil around a tree trunk (but not so closely that the mulch touches the trunk). A layer of mulch keeps the soil moist and reduces weeds that compete for water. Organic mulches, such as bark or wood chips, keep the soil cooler but can absorb water that could otherwise get to tree roots. Inorganic mulches, such as gravel, are a fine choice for native and adapted trees that can tolerate the increase in soil and air temperature<br />

<b>Symptoms of Tree Disease</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Common symptoms of tree disease include dead or hanging branches, rotten wood or cavities in the trunk or roots, major splits, fungal fruiting bodies at the base, and the presence of insects. Many of these symptoms are obvious signs that something is wrong, but insects can be kind of tricky. You should identify the insect before you start to worry. Some insects are actually good for your tree. Ladybugs eat aphids, for example. If you're not sure if something is harming your tree, it's probably best to play it safe and talk to an arborist.</blockquote>

<b>Root Decay</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Root decay can cause all kinds of havoc for your tree. Most people know that roots provide all sorts of functions for plants, in general. They extract water and nutrients from the ground and anchor the tree to the ground. A tree suffering from root decay is significantly more likely to be felled from a wind storm. Often, the only way to detect root decay is from broken roots (if they're visible) or the presence of fungus. The size of a fungal growth is not indicative of root damage. Even a small fungal growth can destroy an entire root system. If root decay is extensive, often little can be done for a tree, but keep in mind what caused the root decay in the first place and plant more wisely for your next tree.</blockquote>

Choosing plants for your yard is an important step in making the landscape sustainable. Besides the usual consideration of how the plant looks, there are other important factors to keep in mind when selecting the plant materials for your garden. Visit the Virtual Garden Tours & Plant Database for plant lists tailored for Santa Barbara County.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Low water using plants:</span><br />
In Milwaukee, the water requirements of a plant are an important consideration. There are many beautiful, low-water using plants available locally. To avoid maintenance conflicts, group plants with similar water, sun, shade, and soil requirements.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Reduce size of lawn:</span><br />
Lawns can be an attractive and useful part of a landscape, but are not considered “sustainable landscaping” due to the large inputs of water, labor and often chemicals to keep them healthy. Many people find that even while reducing the lawn area, they can still meet the need for children’s or pet’s play area. A smaller lawn requires less labor and resources. When mowing the lawn, clippings can be left on the surface as mulch. Although there are no truly "drought tolerant" turf grasses, some varieties do use less water.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Anticipate plant size and reduce pruning:</span><br />
Choose plants that will grow to an appropriate size for the area you are planting. If a plant that grows into a tree is selected for a hedge, the result is endless pruning: more work for you and more material for the landfill. Many reference books will include the mature size of plants.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Decrease plant disease:</span><br />
Before you select a plant, find out if it has pest problems locally. Some plants are more susceptible to disease and insects, requiring more effort and pesticides or herbicides to keep them alive. If plants do develop disease, look for biological controls (insects) or non-chemical means of easing the problem.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Go Native:</span><br />
Native plants are low-water, fertilizer and pesticide users. They require little maintenance and they provide habitat for local wildlife. Native deep rooting bushes can decrease erosion with little maintenance.</div>
<div class="style27 style22 style20">
<span class="style22"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Careful of Invasive Plants:</span><br />Some semi-arid exotic plants grow like crazy. This seems great for your garden however, some can take over wild native plants that keep our watersheds healthy and provide habitat and food for wildlife. Here are a few examples of invasive plants: Pampus Grass, Fountain Grass etc.</span></div>

Waukesha Tree Care Tips.</h3>
<br />
As a<a href="http://thegreenmancompany.com/"> Waukesha Tree Service Company</a>, we've all seen trees gashed by car bumpers, and limbs blown off in storms, but these are just a couple of the many ways trees get injured.<br />
Others include chafing or scrapes and cuts from lawn mowers being pushed into the lower trunks, or by improper staking; line trimmers cutting away bark week after week; rubbing away of the bark caused by touching branches; and improper pruning.<br />
All of these things create injuries, similar to a person being cut by a dull knife. If you get too many such cuts, you're going to be in serious trouble from infection or loss of blood. Trees react in much the same way, so it’s important to avoid damage if possible and to provide proper tree care when it occurs.<br />
<h3>
<i>Repeated Abuse Is The Worst</i></h3>
Of all the damaging things we've listed, the worst may be the repeated damage from lawn mowers and trimmers. When grass grows right up to a tree, the base of that tree is nearly guaranteed to take some direct hits by mowers or trimmers or both. What makes it all worse is that it continues week after week, compounding the injuries over time. A simple and effective tree maintenance fix is a border of mulch around the base of your trees. This makes mowing a heck of a lot easier and protects the trees at the same time. You can read more about proper mowing techniques on our mowing tips page.<br />
<h3>
<i>Avoid Staking Trees When Possible</i></h3>
Staking of trees should always be avoided when possible (to encourage stronger growth), but if needed, should be done right. Don't stake by tying stakes directly to the tree; avoid tightly binding straps; and remove all stakes as soon as the tree can stand on its own.<br />
<h3>
<i>Proper Pruning</i></h3>
When pruning, make sure all cuts are clean, and keep heavier branches from ripping when your saw is 2/3 of the way through by doing an initial cut from the bottom.<br />
As part of your tree maintenance, also remove one of each pair of branches that are rubbing and chafing against each other.<br />
<h3>
<i>When You Discover Damage</i></h3>
When you do discover damage, it’s important to clean the wound. All tree injuries provide entry points for disease and insects, while interrupting the flow of water, food and nutrients between the roots and the leaves. Removing any loose bark and brushing out any dirt that is lodged in the wound will expose the damaged area to sunlight and air and promote healing. Fertilization also helps speed up recovery from damage and general plant health.<br />
<h3>
<i>Remember:</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>Mechanical damage causes wounds that allow entry of diseases and insects into the soft tree wood.</li>
<li>Mulch all lawn trees to eliminate mower and trimmer damage.</li>
<li>Dress all wounds to promote fast healing and reduce disease or insect problems.</li>
</ul>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Summer Tree Care In Milwaukee</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Proper summer tree care can be a life and death issue for certain trees
so, it's important to know something about your trees’ needs. <br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To Prune or Not to Prune </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Regular pruning is not always necessary every year. Pruning can cause
stress to a tree when pruning during hotter temperatures, or by pruning too
much off a tree. Trees grow and produce leaves to manufacture sugars for fuel,
and transevaporate water that keep them cool. Removing too many fuel producing
leaves off a tree during the summer could cause it stress. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Too often pruning is done for the wrong reasons. If you prune a
large tree to keep it small, perhaps you planted the wrong tree. Or it could be
that you are over-watering and over-fertilizing, causing the tree to grow too big
too fast. <br />
<br />
Pruning during the summer deprives the tree of leaf area that it uses for shade
as well as food production. Many trees have been thinned and pruned to the
point that they provide no shade-even to themselves. Excessive pruning such as
that exposes the tree's bark to intense sun, and can be harmful to the tree. The
tree is likely to get sunscald on the bark, especially on thinner bark trees or
younger trees.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">This excessive heating of bark can lead to a condition which can
cause limb death or total tree death.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Try to reduce summer pruning to the removal of only dead or broken
branches, especially if they are over hanging a structure or walkway.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">Temperature – Hot
Enough for You?</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
Heat is also a summer issue for trees. Decomposed granite used as mulch under
or around trees absorbs and then reflects the heat and sun. This makes the
radiant heat even more intense. Block walls, glass, structures, and water
surfaces all reflect and/or absorb heat, and can affect nearby trees. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">How About a Little
Water? I’m Parched!</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">The warmer months are an important time to provide water to the
tree roots. Insure that your trees have enough moisture stored in their leaves,
branches, trunks, and roots to sustain them during the summer. This is when
they are growing and expanding, and transpiration is occurring. Otherwise,
trees can be thrown into stress which could compromise the health of the tree .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
In order for trees to have enough water, don't wait until the tree is dying to
water it. Infrequent but deep watering of the entire root system out to the
dripline of the branches will benefit the tree the most. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;">During the summer, the trees may need to be watered every seven
days or so. For smaller, newly planted trees a drip system with one or two
emitters at the edge of the rootball would provide adequate irrigation. Turn
the system on for about thirty minutes every two or three days. Watering needs should
be reevaluated after the tree has been in the ground for a few months. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Staking</b><br />
Another important consideration is how trees are staked and tied. It is not
always necessary to stake and tie newly planted trees. If it is necessary (to
keep the tree from falling over), do so with the idea that as soon as possible
stakes and ties should be removed. Usually, the ties can be removed after one
full growing season.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Centaur; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
Keep your tree as vigorous as possible with good cultural practices. This can
prolong the life of your tree, and allow you to bask in its shade and beauty
all summer long.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
