The Tree Guy

🌳 June 23rd - TREE TIP OF THE DAY 🌳

Use fallen autumn leaves as free mulch under trees instead of bagging them. They enrich our nutrient-poor soils and support overwintering beneficial insects. 🍁🍂

Gambel Oak (native) holds its brown leaves through winter (“marcescence”). Great privacy screen and a fun conversation starter about “everbrown” trees!

🌳 Happy Father’s Day from The Tree Guy! 🌳
To all the dads out there — the steady oaks, the deep-rooted protectors, and the ones who quietly help everything around them grow stronger.
You’re the ones who show up through every season: the cold winters, the hot summers, the storms, and the sunny days. You provide shade for your family, strong branches to lean on, and roots that run deep so the next generation can reach higher. Your legacy grows long after the planting is done.
Thank you for everything you do — seen and unseen. Today we celebrate you, not just as fathers, but as the foundation so many of us stand on.
From our family to yours, have a wonderful Father’s Day filled with love, laughter, and maybe a little time under a favorite tree.

👉 Tag a special dad in the comments and tell us what kind of “tree” he is (the mighty Ponderosa? The reliable Honey Locust? The colorful Chokecherry?).

AVOID fertilizing new trees the first 1-2 years. Focus on deep watering and mulch—extra nitrogen in our soils can burn roots and push weak growth.

For wind protection (common in the Valley), plant evergreens like Blue Spruce on the northwest side. They act as living snow fences for your home and garden.

Ponderosa Pine bark smells like vanilla or butterscotch on warm days. Scratch it gently for a free aromatherapy session—our majestic native treasure.
