631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716





ARBOL DEL TULE IN OAXACA MEX

Its trunk has aproximately a circumference of 119 ft, equating to a diameter of 38.1 ft, a slight increase from a measurement of 37.5 ftHowever, the trunk is heavily buttressed, giving a higher diameter reading than the true cross-sectional of the trunk represents; when this is taken into account, the diameter of the 'smoothed out' trunk is 30.8 ft. 
The height is difficult to measure due to the very broad crown; In 2005 they measured it to 116 ft,  shorter than previous measurements of 135–141 ft. The DNA of this tree as proven than although it looks like its diffeent trees attached to each other its only one tree. This tree is located by a church and it attracts people who start encouturing figures of animals across the truck from an elephant shape to a gorilla's face.


LONE CYPRESS
17-Mile Drive is a scenic road through Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach on the Monterey Peninsula in California, much of which hugs the Pacific coastline and passes famous golf courses and mansions. Part of it serves as the main road through the gated community of Pebble Beach. Inside this community, nonresidents have to pay a toll to use the road. Chief among the scenic attractions is the Lone Cypress Tree (36.568738°N 121.965321°W), a salt-pruned Monterey cypress(macrocarpa) tree which is the official symbol of Pebble Beach and a frequent fixture of television broadcasts from this area. The Monterey Cypress is a species of cypress that is endemic to the Central Coast of California. In the wild, the species is confined to two small populations, near Monterey and Carmel.

THE CIRCUS TREE "BASKET TREE"
Axel Erlandson a man who used to shape trees as a hobby got the idea to make this tree from a visit that his daughter and wife did to an ocean near santa cruz california in 1945. He quickly bought land in Santa Clara valley where he planted 6 sycamore trees in a circle, topped them all at one foot, then approach-grafted them together one to another to form the diamond patterns. For the first 2.5 meters (8') he left an opening at the top. This specimen today is featured as the centerpiece of Gilroy Gardens.



THE TREE OF LIFE
The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a mesquite tree which grows in the middle of desert. The tree is said to be 400 to 500 years old. Its long roots probably have found some underground water source, but it is still a miracle as it is the only green living organism living in a vast and barren desert. The local inhabitants believe that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden.


AVENUE OF THE BAOBABS
The Avenue of the Baobabs is a group of famous trees lining the dirt road between Morondava and Belon’i Tsiribihina in western Madagascar. Its striking landscape draws travelers from around the world, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in Madagascar. The Baobab trees, up to 800 years old, did not originally tower in isolation over the sere landscape of scrub but stood in dense tropical forest. Over the years, as the country’s population grew, the forests were cleared for agriculture, leaving only the famous baobab trees.

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

 

Many times it doesn't necessarily needs to be an specific season when you can spot a dead tree or dead wood. While its true that these can be tough calls at first view, there are many ways you can still recognize when a tree is dead or alive even in the winter time.

at first glance the easiest ways to see its if some parts of the tree are green while others are brown. You may try to pull a little piece and if it gives you some resistance it means its alive while the dead tree will flake off easily. Make sure you check if there are any bumps along the stump, these may be the beginning of new branches being formed which would mean that your tree is pretty much alive still. 

You may want to use and small knife and cut an small portion and look for green. The collar of a tree will always be slightly raised and swollen. 

You can always contact you local Tree expert.

AUTUMN CLEAN UP



631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716




When seasons change we all love the change and mix of colors, but this beauty can only last for a bit when we realize these leaves will fall and we will have to clean up. They can be cleaned through blowing, raking or vacuuming.


When cleaning and putting all the leaves together we recommend concentrated areas suck as under trees, inside fences or the crook of an l-wing on a house, where the leaves stay there and don't have another place to go.

Try to just not blow them , you can add carbon dioxide which reduces other nutrients to the environment.


Leaves can damage for homes, cars but specially roofs. 

To prevent this you should trim your branches so that leaves don't fall on your roof, the perfect time for pruning is before leaves start falling which eliminates the work in advance.

To lighten cleaning loads for the leaves that do land on the roof, consider covering gutters with chicken wire or commercial gutter screens. 

5 ways to get rid of leaves after collected would be compost them, make leaf mold, mulch, hoard them or mow them.

The statement says: "Plant A Tree, Write A Book, Have a Son" 

Every year trees fall causing big accidents and millions of dollars to home owners all across the country. That's why many times home owners have decided to cut down their tall trees.

Most of homeowners love their trees and would rather not get rid of them but these trees can be dangerous at times, that's why you should know which trees are the most common and can be dangerous so you can avoid an accident. 


Probably one of the most common dangerous tree that you can have around your home is: 


 PINES     

Pines are native of the Northern Hemisphere

Pine trees can be potentially dangerous to a property and specially a home if they are located very close to it, because they grow very tall and heavy but at the same time its roots don't grow very deep bellow the ground point.  That's why every time there are even potentially high winds or storms pines may be the ones on inclining and can cause big damage if they actually fall on your home. 

We would recommend to consult a tree specialist and get a free estimate to see how dangerous your trees can be to your property.
