They turned to Arbor Image Tree Care for help nursing a Chinese Pistache tree back to health following a deformity with the root system.
Explore the methods used in this case and how the project ultimately became a success.
Project Overview
- Client Profile: Residential
- Location: Moore, OK
- Type of Service: Tree Healthcare
- Duration: One Hour
- Tree Type: Chinese Pistache
- Equipment Used: Chisel, shovels, mallet, two-man crew, cleaning equipment
- Season: Fall
- Client Preferences: They called us in to assess the health of their Chinese Pistache tree, which appeared to be struggling. Upon inspection, we discovered that the tree was suffering from girdling roots, a condition where the roots wrap around the base of the tree, restricting nutrient flow and potentially damaging the tree’s structure. To address the issue, we carefully removed the girdling roots using chisels and mallets, being careful not to harm the tree further.
Determining the Proper Tree Healthcare Treatment in Moore, OK
Our arborists have many different options for treating sick trees. For example, fertilizer can improve soil nutrition while tree pruning, fungal treatments, and chemicals aid with disease and pest management. A thorough root and canopy assessment often helps us diagnose the issue.
The homeowner’s tree was suffering from girdling roots. Since the roots wrapped around the trunk instead of spreading below the ground, they were cutting off the tree’s water and nutrient supply.
How We Revitalized Our Client’s Suffering Tree
Other forms of tree healthcare treatment in Moore, OK, can take several hours or even days to complete. Our two-man crew was able to finish the job in an hour by completing the following steps:
- Digging to expose the girdling roots
- Chiseling the wrapped roots free
- Assessing the tree for further health issues
- Cleaning all debris from the yard
When all was said and done, we had one happy homeowner and an improved tree.
