    How can I protect my trees from Emerald Ash Borer?

    Madison and Dane County have been heavily impacted by the emerald ash borer. If you have an ash tree, inspect for D-shaped exit holes, canopy thinning, and bark splitting. Preventive trunk injections or soil treatments can save healthy ash trees, but advanced cases often require removal.

    Do harsh Wisconsin winters harm trees?

    Yes, freeze-thaw cycles can cause frost cracks, sunscald, and salt damage. Protect sensitive trees with trunk wraps, burlap screens, and by rinsing roadside salt spray in early spring. Learn more about winter injury and frost damage on ornamental trees and shrubs.

    Why do my maples have black spots on their leaves?

    That’s likely a tar spot, a common fungal issue in Wisconsin. While unsightly, it rarely causes serious harm. Raking and disposing of fallen leaves helps reduce recurrence.

    Should I mulch around my trees?

    Absolutely. Wisconsin’s temperature swings stress roots, but even just a 2–4 inch mulch layer conserves moisture and moderates soil temperature. Just avoid piling mulch against the trunk.

    Can heavy snow and ice break my trees?

    Yes, especially soft-wooded species like silver maples and boxelders. Avoid shaking branches, which can cause breakage. Instead, let ice melt naturally and prune out damaged limbs once safe. However, some situations may require professional services to protect your property and tree health. Learn more about our professional snow and ice removal services.
