Momentum Tree Experts

It’s fall planting season! And we’re thoughtfully sourcing trees with character.

This European larch (Larix decidua) is a deciduous conifer, which makes it a little unusual. Its soft green needles turn golden in fall before dropping for winter.

Great tree planting starts with the right tree. We look for interesting, well-grown specimens that fit the site, growing conditions, and space they’ll have to mature. 💚

There’s fall in the air, and we love spending it in the trees, developing our climbing and technical rigging skills, enjoying the time together, and taking in the views that come with it. 🍂

“Most oaks in town don’t have acorns this year due to the late May frost, but this red oak is an acceptation.” 😍
