Memorial Arborist of ArborTrue 

Sick Tree Diagnosis

Memorial arborist is a tree preservation tree service that wants to save trees rather than remove them, however, there are times when removal is the only option.
Sick Tree Treatment

Sick tree treatment is the process of repairing or cleansing the tree with special chemicals that are environmentally safe and help the tree to recover quickly.​ This allows most trees ,that normally would be discarded, to thrive and bring beauty to your property.
Top Soil Fertilization 

​Top soil fertilization comes in many forms, from liquid spraying to specialized pellet dropping, which enriches the upper layer of the soil with new nutrients and beneficial bacteria that will latch onto the shallow root system and provide nitrate fixing bacteria. This supercharges the flora and help weaker plants to start regaining their strength.
Deep Root Fertilization

​​This is much like the top soil fertilization, with one exception, it is for deeper root systems like trees and shrubs. This fertilization is designed to reach deep into the soil past the shallow root systems, to reach roots that may not be getting the nutrients they need due to the shallower roots. Great for helping fruit trees yield bigger and more lush fruits.
Soil Conditioning

​This is not to be confused with fertilization. Although, this service ties into fertilization, soil conditioning is a way to change the density of the soil. This service allows the soil to absorb more air and water, making it softer and easier for the trees or deep rooted plants to move, grow, and absorb more freely. This can make the difference from a green yard to a DEEP green yard.
​
Soil Sampling

​Ever wonder how arborists know what type of fertilizer or additive needs to be used for your property to have a great blooming season for your Plants and Trees? This is because there are no guesses as an arborist, we take several samples around the yard and label them, so we can find out what is contained in the soil itself. From nutrients, bacteria and outside chemical contamination, providing the arborist the needed information to correctly diagnose and treat a sick tree or problem soil.
Soil Alteration

Soil alterations are performed when the soil is uninhabitable. This process will break down the hard soil and will change the dynamic of the soil over a series of treatments and mixing. Over a course of the time, estimated to repair the soil damage, the new converted soil will be healthy and able to support flora life.

What is a Pine Bark Beetle?

do i have a pine bark beetle infestation
​The Pine Bark Beetle is a small insect that is known for its brutal attacks on pine trees in large groups. They are attracted to trees that are experiencing high amounts of stress due to drought, flooding, neglect, etc.. The Pine Bark Beetle is approximately the size of a grain of rice and bores a small hole through the bark and into the vascular layers of the pine tree. These layers allow the flow of nutrients from the root system to the canopy of the tree, like our veins and arteries. Although small, the Pine Bark Beetle attacks the tree in large numbers so that the number of bore holes in the pine tree can reach up to the thousands. Ultimately, the vascular layer of the tree is disrupted to the point that essential nutrients are no longer able to reach the tree's foliage and then dies. This can take as little as 14 days from the time the Pine Bark Beetle enters the tree. By the time you notice the infestation, it may have already been 10 days or more.

How Do Memorial Arborists Manage These Pests?

​A small plug, called an ArborPlug, is directly inserted into a drill hole around the base of the tree. A specialized needle is then inserted into the Arborplug and formula is injected into the vascular system of the tree. The formula is then dispersed throughout the trunk, branches, and leaf tissue. The ArborPlug keeps the injected formula inside the tree, protects the drill hole, and remains inside the tree without causing any adverse effects. The tree begins to fight off the infestation from the inside out and in time grows right over the plug. Pine Bark Beetles will generally attack the closest pine tree after they are finished with the original tree. It is important to talk with your Arborist about preforming this procedure on the neighboring trees to decrease the chance of a beetle infestation spreading to the rest of your yard and/or your neighborhood.

What Method Does NOT Work?

​Spraying the Trees: Spraying a tree is only effective for pests that actually come in contact with the insecticide. Pine Bark Beetles are embedded beneath the bark of the tree, so spraying would not be very helpful. Spraying will also kill desirable insects nearby such as butterflies, honey bees, lady bugs and others. Spraying insecticides is not legal near waterways and is toxic to native fish. It can also be extremely messy and will wash off during periods of rain. 

What Does it Cost?

The cost to treat for Pine Bark Beetles is based on the amount of product used, trunk diameter, and labor for application. Contact Memorial Arborist today to schedule your consultation by calling 281-786-0997 or you can fill out our online contact form.

Do I Have A Pine Bark Beetle Infestation?

We advise homeowners to consider preventative measures by
identifying the causes for a Pine Bark Beetle attack and recognizing the symptoms of beetle activity.
Prevention is key when it comes to Pine Bark beetles. There are a few precautionary measures that you can take to prevent beetle infestation and we want to share them with you!
​
  • ​​Act diligently before the Pine Bark beetles active peak season begins! Peak season for beetle activity is from March to October, however, they can remain active throughout winter. ​
  • Homeowners that have pine trees need to keep a close eye out for browning needles or needles turning a rusty red color.
  • When a tree becomes stressed, it will produce a higher quantity of Pine cones. This is a symptom that you must not overlook! 
  • If a fine granular or fuzzy like sawdust appears at the base of your tree you MUST call us immediately! (See the picture provided for an example of this symptom)
  • Watch for pitch tubes to appear. They resemble small crawfish mounds protruding from the trunk of your tree. Once pitch tubes are present, it may be too late to save your tree at this point, but we can help with what may be a hazardous removal.
