Amazing Trees In The World



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 ft. However, 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.

Have You Ever Wonder How They Name Hurricanes and Storms?

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716


The actual system isnt complicated everything is based on latitude and longitude of a storm which is how the meteorologists track them, but they needed a system to recognize them.  

Back in 1953, the National Weather Service needed to tell the public which storm and the way of such so they picked up the tradition of the naval meteorologist of naming the storms after women just like they used to with ships but in 1979 male names were included.
Usually storm names get recycle but due to the impact some make and all the disaster they cause  hey think is not appropriate to repeat certain names so they take those particular names off the list.  
2013 Storm names are :
Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van & Wendy

Are Many people asked them selves how to get ready for winter and although its a fact that trees native from the area are the ones who will make it the best because they are ready to handle all seasons others make not make it out the same.


Tree Wrap
Smooth-barked trees are susceptible to something called “frost cracks”. These occur when there is a sudden change in temperature and can hurt the tree.

Pruning
If you prune and take care of your tree this will allow the tree to not be able to get heavy with the snow so the high risk of falling on your home diminishes.

Mulch
Mulch can protect trees n many ways including wildfires. It also helps so small animals don't make their homes destroying the trees.

Watering
Some Trees make have troubles getting hydrated due to the snow blockage which makes the tree dry and results on it dying. 

Fertilizing
Fertilizing with nitrogen-heavy products in the fall is the key element for a tree growth and resistance. 

Inspection
This one is easy but if you don't know much get in contact with you local Tree Expert. By hiring an expert they will tell you what's the best thing to do to take care of your tree.

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.

When Is The Best Time For Prunning


631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716




Pruning is important for tree maintenance.



When to Prune:



Dead, diseased and broken wood can be removed at any time of year. The best time for general pruning is in before and after season, immediately before growth starts. It may be necessary to give fast-growing plants an additional light pruning or two during the growing season. Good judgment must be exercised when pruning. Severe pruning can usually be avoided if pruning is done annually. Also depending on weather conditions.



Why Prune?

Limit the pruning of most tree removal of dead, diseased and injured wood and to the maintenance of the natural shape of the plants.

When Is a good Idea To Prune

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716
Many people are unsure of when the right time to prune is. Pruning is the cutting or removing branches or parts of trees or for improving the shape or growth of trees. This is the number one most common tree maintenance procedure.  

Pruning during the winter months or 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 effect you’re looking for. For best results, it’s better to wait until the coldest part of the winter has passed.

You also have the option of summer pruning. To direct the growth by slowing the branches you don’t want to slow down or “dwarf” the development of a tree branch. Pruning should be done soon after seasonal growth is complete. Summer is also a good time for pruning for corrective purposes. Defective limbs can be seen more easily, or limbs that hang down too far under the weight of the leaves.

If you’re pruning flowering trees to enhance flowering, here are two steps you should be sure to follow:
  1. For trees that bloom in spring, prune when their flowers fade.
  2. Trees and shrubs that flower in mid- to late summer should be pruned in winter or early spring.
The only time of year you should avoid pruning altogether is in the fall! At this time, decay fungi spread their spores profusely in the fall and healing of wounds seems to be slower in the fall.
