Maintenance
Maintenance schedules can be arranged based on your needs. You can choose from ongoing maintenance, bi-monthly, or monthly consulting for fruit trees, citrus, olives, and Japanese maples. The frequency will depend on the current health of your trees. The frequency depends on your budget. But not the number of trees the client has. And surely the health of the trees. We also offer staking, painting potentially damaged areas on fruit trees, composting, and mulching the trees we prune and care for. Our specialty is developing complete nutritional profiles for fruit trees and citrus, based on their area of weakness. We also offer a yearly maintenance option that is part DYI and part expert advice.

Seasonal Safeguards
Fruit Trees
If you are seeking a cornucopia of different fruits from one tree, grafting makes it possible. You may not want to get as creative as the Tree of 40 Fruit, which actually produces 40 different stone fruits due to grafting. But 4 or 5 apple varieties and/or pears on one tree can be an apple/pear lover’s delight. However, grafting is an art in itself that requires expertise, luck and patience.

Pest Mitigation
Diagnosing diseases and pest issues can save your trees and your family’s harvest. Everything from leaf-curling aphids to blister or rust mites, twig borers or codling moths (pears and apples), and fruit worms can damage your trees. Catching problems early and encouraging natural predators to control pests is often an option. Neem Oil is a great way to stop predators with a hard shell. Kaolin clay is used to deter codling moths, but it can get messy, so be prepared. Regular maintenance can catch problems early on.
