Healthier Honey Locusts at Holy Family
Driven past Holy Family Catholic Church on N. Alpine lately? Their new addition is spectacular! The honey locust trees that line the parking lot look pretty nice too, with a little help from our president and Holy Family parishioner John Richards. According to a Holy Family article, John was recently asked to demonstrate the best way to trim these trees. In typical fashion, John’s demonstration turned very hands-on; in 25 minutes or so he’d trimmed all eight trees by himself. To quote the Holy Family article: “Thank God for the energy of our volunteers!”
Concerned About a Sick or Dying Tree?
When it comes to tree disease, early detection makes all the difference. If you’ve noticed changes in your tree’s appearance or health, a professional assessment can help prevent further damage and protect your property.
- Discolored or spotted leaves
- Unusual leaf drop or thinning canopy
- Cracks, cavities, or soft wood
- Fungal growth near the base
- Leaning or structural instability
If you're seeing any of these warning signs, it's time to have your trees evaluated by a trained professional.
