 The basis of every tree health care plan is a thorough evaluation of all trees on the property to determine their conditions and needs.
Trees are often grown in a nursery too deep and then planted even deeper in the landscape. To make matters worse, trees are routinely over mulched. All of these practices contribute to the formation of girdling roots and root collar rot which result in the death of many trees each year. Many of these trees can be saved by performing a simple root collar excavation and girdling root removal. High pressure compressed air is applied to physically remove soil from around the root zone without damaging the tree. This reduces soil compaction and allows the addition of compost and minerals to promote new root growth. This is very beneficial to trees suffering from construction damage, decline, over mulching and improper planting depth.
 High Pressure Root Fertilization
 Trees require nutrients to live and thrive. When one or more of these nutrients are deficient in the soil, the tree will not reach its full landscape potential, will be more susceptible to disease and insect problems, and will have a shorter life than a similar, well-fertilized tree. The most common symptoms of nutrient deficiency are: reduced growth, leaf chlorosis, yellowing, and necrosis. Insects and diseases can threaten tree health. Environmental stress weakens plants and makes them more susceptible to insect and disease attack. We carefully examine your trees, diagnose the problem through specific symptoms of damage, and understand the causes. Fungicides, Insecticides, Antibiotics and Nutrients are injected directly into the vascular system of the tree to treat numerous insects (borers, scale, etc), nutrient deficiencies (Iron) and diseases (Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease).

 Improper planting & girdling roots lead to the decline of many trees.
This treatment will help trees recover from or prepare for stress related to construction damage, drought, insect and disease. As well as improve a tree’s overall health by strengthening its root system and creating a more dense canopy. This is all accomplished by redirecting the tree’s energy away from twig growth and back to other areas such as root and leaf development. It is an exciting new treatment that will help save and improve many trees that previously did not have much hope. Reduce GrowthSpecies differ but vegetative growth is generally reduced by 40-60% over a three-year period from one treatment. Growth reduction within the first year of treatment may not be as noticeable as in subsequent years.Root System EnhancementPGR increases the fine root density in species like oaks, elms, and lindens. This results from the re-allocation of carbohydrates from the canopy that are not needed for vegetative growth.Improved Drought ToleranceDrought is a major cause of tree death and decline in the urban landscape. Research shows the PGR increases drought resistance by helping the tree reduce water losses during dry, hot periods.Higher Tolerance to Stress and DiseasePGR changes some important physical traits of leaves. Some of the more notable changes include increased leaf thickness, increased leaf hairs, and thicker leaf cuticles. These changes tend to improve water status of leaves, and may present additional physical barriers to pathogen invasion.
Midwest Tree Solutions has the experience, expertise, and ability to work with property owners and construction teams to review projects and provide the best solutions to minimize risk of harm to important trees helping them to survive and thrive for many years after construction.
 Construction Zone Tree Preservation
No tree is absolutely safe. Trees that have defects in roots, trunk, or branches make them likely to fail, perhaps causing personal injury or property damage. At times, even healthy trees fail. However, Midwest Tree Solutions’ experts will examine and inspect the trees in a systematic fashion, and let you know if your landscape contains high-risk or potentially hazardous trees. Additionally, we will recommend the proper course of care and action.
