Certified Arborist, Jim Breaux of Personal Touch Tree Service, informed us about best practices for taking care of our trees. Jim’s company offers an extensive menu of arborological services and can tackle any tree problem, no matter how large or small. A new tree should be pruned to train it for growth and a mature tree usually needs trimming every 2 – 3 years. There is no need to paint the surface of a cut. He recommends that trees be fertilized by liquid injection and says that a “weed and feed” grass fertilizer should never be used around trees. His current tree of choice is an Autumn Blaze Maple.
