Tree Pruning for Safety and Health

Tree pruning is the best way to keep it healthy and safe. In this tree pruning video, a 100 year old Oak tree in Jenkintown PA towers over two houses and detached garages. 

High up in the tree's massive crown, Mike Teti, CTSP and ISA Certified Arborist and Jose Orellana,Giroud Climber work together to remove hazardous deadwood and raise limbs off roofs and wires for better clearance and air flow. The tree climbers use a natural tree pruning technique to maintain the tree's beautiful shape and promote healthy growth. 

Do your trees need pruning? Summer storms are coming.  Experience shows that recently pruned trees sustain the least damage in storms. Call your Giroud Arborist to evaluate your trees for pruning today!

Cedar Apple Rust

It's one of nature's unique relationships. Spores from Cedars and Junipers cause problems on Apples and Crabapples.   Learn how Cedar Apple Rust can stress trees and the treatment options by watching this video of Erik Rodgers, ISA Certified Arborist at Giroud, at a home in New Hope, PA.

Treatment options can include fungicide application in Spring, pruning diseased limbs and tree removal of Juniper or Cedars growing near Apple or Crabapple trees.  If you suspect your trees have Cedar Apple Rust, please contact us!
