May your voice cry Bodily out of my chest.  May your tears fill my eyes for your children oppressed.  May your feet carry me till I come to your rest.  May your light illumin my inky dark nest.   https://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/device/mp3/store/album/B00AOHHUZC/highlight:B00AOHHVCY?ie=UTF8

Tree Trimming / Prunning

I / we trim trees according to continuing updated Industry Standards and ISA Certified Arborist guidelines. It's important to leave interior foliage. The exterior foliage stops photosynthesis when it exceeds its exceptable temperature range. It then functions to shade and cool the interior foliage so it continues to convert sun light, carbon dioxide and water/nutrients into usable energy to grow, compartmentalize, deal with stress like drought and more within the tree. The tree is a system that can't shut down. The leaves are money makers for the tree. When the leaves make more money than the trees need at that time, it's stored in the tree's bank, the root system. If there is no stored money the tree goes bankrupt. There is no bankruptcy bail out for the tree... it dies. Email us to trim out the awkward growing, rubbing, and dead limbs and to thin the canopy so it doesn't catch the wind in extremes and allows light under and through the tree for grass. Also to be city code compliant. service@aperfecttree.com ISA Certified Arborist Curtis Hopper TX-3236A

Dr Todd Watson's Arboriculture 101 is coming up and is a CAN'T MISS for those who love Arboriculture or desire to become a ISA Certified Arborist.

I joined the Aloha Arborist Association to learn more about palms and tropical trees for 2013. Plan to move there in 2017 !!!

LEAF - THE MONEY MAKER

Leaves are the "Money Makers" for the tree. They make "money" (glucose) to spend on wound closing, seed production, flowers, fruit, leaf drop and budding out and to deal with stresses and more. Each branch is self supporting. If the leaves on the branch don't produce enough "money" the tree compartmentalizes the limb and it dies. If the limb over produces, the "money" is stored in one of the tree's banks - the root system. One of the 4 functions of the root system is storage. So keep the leaves on the tree. Except when the tree is dormant ( sleeping ).

This year we are getting hammered by tree diseases both bacterial and fungal. We also have high occurrences of insects and mites !! Having a hard extremely hot long Summer, drought last year, a weak Winter and a wet Spring this year all adds up to, "Our Trees Need Help !" So many diseases have similar maybe even the same signs and symptoms that lab tests are needed to obtain an exact diagnosis. From there I can treat for the specific tree disease. I am the help your trees need ! curtishopper@hotmail.com OR service@aperfecttree.com  www.youtube.com/texastreeman
