Tree Healing & Recovery

Expert care for the wounds that time won't heal alone.

Advanced Wound Treatment

Trees are remarkably resilient, but major wounds from storms, accidents, or improper pruning can lead to decay and structural instability. Our tree healing services focus on cleaning and treating these wounds to facilitate natural compartmentalization.

We use specialized sealants and techniques to protect the exposed wood from moisture and pathogens, giving the tree the best possible chance at a full recovery.

Why Science Matters

Modern arboriculture has shown that traditional thick "pruning paints" can actually trap moisture against the wood, encouraging rot instead of preventing it. We follow the CODIT (Compartmentalization Of Decay In Trees) principle.

We focus on clean, precise cuts that allow the tree to naturally "seal" itself with callus tissue. When sealants are used, they are breathable, modern compounds designed to support the tree's natural biology.

Identifying Serious Damage

Deep Cankers

Areas of dead bark that can encircle a branch or trunk, cutting off the flow of nutrients.

Bacterial Slime

Wet-looking patches that can indicate serious internal infections needing immediate attention.

Cavity Formation

Hollow areas where internal rot has started, potentially compromising the tree's stability.

Storm Damage First Aid

If your tree is damaged in a storm, take these immediate steps before we arrive:

Safety First: Stay away from hanging branches or downed trees.
Assess: Look for cracked bark or leaning trunks that might indicate root failure.
Protect the Bark: If a large section of bark is torn, try to keep it moist with damp burlap until it can be professionally reattached or trimmed.
