Get your Trees Ready In the Fall

• Heavy wet snow and freezing ice storms can weigh down tree branches and limbs causing them to weaken or break.
• Preventive pruning and trimming in the fall can lower the risk of catastrophic damage when the next winter snow or ice storm hits.
• Tree experts can lighten and reduce the length of heavy branches, remove hazardous deadwood and cable or brace weak crotches to prepare your trees for winter weather.
• Fall fertilization is beneficial for promoting root growth rather than leaf growth. It enables the trees to store up reserves and be ready for healthy growth the following spring. 
• Installing a layer of mulch around the root zones of each tree help control temperature extremes and minimize moisture loss. Be sure to leave space between the tree trunk and mulch

Is Long sland Ready For Another Hurricaine?

Hurricane season is here and are we ready for another hurricane? while many changes have been implemented some things haven't changed much. According to news 12 and their latest's reports we are still on risk of being hit and damaged as we did a year ago.

Robert Sinclair from AAA said "We are, in essence, in the same place we were last October"

Sandy destroyed 90 % of the waterside terminals in New York Harbor, which handles fuel deliveries from tankers and pipelines to our area. Sinclair says almost nothing has been done to storm proof those terminals in the aftermath of Sandy. Although Gov. Cuomo order that all the gas stations must have generators this measure will be effective until next year which means we are no different than last yr.

LIPA was largely criticized on how they responded to the customers and the way  they approached the chaos but LIPA has already handed a major part to its partner National Grid which will end the contract with LIPA in 2014. LIPA insist that's they have made some major changes to act if another natural disaster occurs.

 Experts agree there will be another big storm like Sandy, and they say Long Islanders need to be prepared for this type of occurrence once in a while.

Scientists say they have a pretty good understanding of how storm patterns move in large areas like the Atlantic. The difficulty comes when you're forecasting for a small, highly populated area like Long Island. 

However, as scientists try to understand what's happening to weather patterns the stakes are getting higher. Officials say heavy shoreline development on Long Island is a bulls-eye for future super storms. 

Experts say climate change occurs over decades, so the best defense is to make our area less vulnerable.

How To Take Care Of Your Trees On Summer Time!

Summer Dos, Don’ts and Tips for Trees

         

Does

·        Use organic mulches (wood chips, bark, etc)  to conserve soil moisture and moderate soil temperature.  Mulch should be 2 -4 inches deep and should never touch the trunk of the tree.

·        Pay more attention to trees near pavement or other hard surfaces since these trees experience more heat than those in  the middle of a yard or landscaped area.

·        Water so that it soaks into the ground rather than running off.

·        Deep watering is essential!

·        The best time to water mature trees is between late evening, at night , or very early morning.   Trees replace the  water they have lost during the day at night.  Watering at night also reduces the amount of water lost to evaporation.

·        During drought and water restrictions, give trees priority over lawns.  It takes many more years to grow a tree than a lawn.  A lawn can become dormant and, if necessary, can be replaced in a season; it could take a lifetime to replace a large tree.

·        Inspect for Bugs.

·        There are several species that are more prevalent in summer months. If you are unsure of what to look for, contact your local arborist who can help identify devastating species and provide helpful information on getting rid of the pests.

·        Hazard Assessment.

·        Now is the perfect time to inspect trees to determine hazard assessment. The Atlantic Hurricane season officially began on June 1, 2012 and ends on November 30, 2012. It is important to identify problem areas with trees early on to protect your family, home and property. Contact your arborist to do a complete assessment.

Donts

·        Do not use inorganic mulches such as stones.

·        Do not give small amounts of water.  Even if this is done often, it does more harm than good. This encourages shallow roots that dry quickly.

·        Do not use fertilizers around trees during drought and be very cautious about the use of pesticides.

·        Do not prune unless absolutely necessary, with high temperatures many times trees can dry up and instead of helping the tree you will be killing the tree. Spring and Fall are the best times to prune a tree
