Inside This Issue:

Tree Loving Care is Now a Christmas Decor Franchise!

We are delighted to announce that we have purchased the Christmas Décor franchise from Mike Redeker and Lighting Specialties. Tree Loving Care has been the leading lover of trees on the South Plains or many years and we are now teamed with the national leader in holiday lighting. Christmas Décor began right here in Lubbock and is now a national franchised company with almost 400 franchises around the country.

Critters & Cruds - Generally, there are few insect or disease situations to be greatly concerned about in the fall and early winter. Just like us, many insects are going dormant unless they are getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in which case they are quite busy. The four legged critters are getting ready for winter and they are the ones that you need to watch out for.

Tree of the Quarter - Western Soapberry (Sapindus drummondi) is native in over half of Texas, including all around Lubbock and even on the Caprock. It is a small tree, up to 50’, but usually no more than 35’ tall in 50 years. It is very drought tolerant and virtually pest free in our area.

Fall Fertilization Program - The time for fall fertilization is upon us. Much of the root growth that a plant puts on for the year occurs in the fall. Our fertilization program is designed to take advantage of this. Call 785-8733 to set up an appointment with one of our Certified Arborists to discuss the needs of your landscape.
