Folks, please understand that there is no magic bullet that will turn your trees around. If they have root rot, for example, no one systemic treatment will fix the problem. The tree that is struggling with root rot may have to be treated on a quarterly basis for a number of years. Even then, the moisture regime may need to be reconfigured, drainage improved, soil aerated, organic matter incorporated, soil nutrition corrected, etc. We spend a lot of money on our landscape designs and installations, but do we factor after-care into the budget?
Every day people call in wanting a quick fix or one-time treatment. I tell them they're calling the wrong guy. There are 116 other entries under "Tree Service" in the Yellow Pages. Somebody's bound to take your money.
