Key Takeaways Timing pruning around a tree’s natural growth cycle reduces stress, limits disease exposure, and supports faster wound closure. Bigleaf maple is best pruned during late fall through winter dormancy, when sap flow is minimal and wounds are less likely to attract pests. Western red cedar tolerates pruning across a wider window but benefits […]

Key Takeaways Northwest Washington’s near-constant moisture creates ideal conditions for wood-decaying fungi to establish inside trees, often without obvious outward symptoms. Tree rot frequently develops from the inside out, meaning a tree can look structurally sound while its core has already lost significant strength. Certain visible clues, including fungal growth, cavities, and bark abnormalities, can […]

Key Takeaways Atmospheric rivers bring some of the heaviest, most sustained rainfall events in the Pacific Northwest, often combined with strong wind. Saturated soil dramatically reduces a tree’s root anchorage, making trees more likely to lean or uproot even without extreme wind speeds. Bellingham and Skagit County’s mix of shallow-rooted conifers and wet, low-lying soils […]

Key Takeaways Western Washington’s cool, wet climate naturally supports moss, lichen, and fungi. Moss and lichen usually grow on the bark without harming healthy trees. Heavy growth often indicates excess shade, moisture, or reduced tree vigor rather than disease. Mushrooms and shelf fungi growing from a living tree can be signs of internal decay. Improving […]

Key Takeaways Wind sail reduction lowers the amount of wind resistance a tree canopy creates. Selective pruning can reduce storm damage without removing more of the tree than necessary. The best pruning focuses on structure, balance, deadwood removal, and canopy thinning. Trees with too much top weight or too dense a canopy are more likely […]
