Holiday Gift Guide for That Special Tree in Your Life
Not sure what to get the tree that has everything? Our Treecologists compiled a list just for you.
Not sure what to get for the tree in your life that has everything? Our Treecologists made a list of the presents they are giving their favorite trees and shrubs this season.
(Note: Invasive Bradford pears and Leyland Cypress are on the naughty list yet again, so they are just getting coal. Sorry, y’all. Better luck next year.)
Warm Blanket of Wood Chips
Winter cold snaps can be shocking to trees. A nice, thick blanket of hand-carved, artisan wood chips will help your tree weather even the chilliest nights.
Gift Certificate for a Haircut
Are your trees getting shaggy? Winter is a great time for a trim. Contact our Treecologists to schedule an annual pruning.
Felco pruners
As they say: No pain, no gain. Pruning helps trees get stronger. Felcos are our favorite hand pruners for small trees and shrubs—the ideal gift for a Musclewood tree in your yard.
Root collar excavation
Mulch volcanos around your tree’s base can cause significant health issues. Give your trees the gift of excavation this year. Perfect for the suburbanite Crepe Myrtle who has everything but no time to rearrange their poorly installed mulch.
Leaves
On a budget? Surely you haven't had time to rake your leaves this year. Just add a few festive red maple leaves and move them over to your beds. Trees never get their fill of rotting leaves this time of year.
Worms!
This is a perennial favorite for trees. Worms help increase the health of your soil, which improves the health of your tree. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Fungi
Even trees feel isolated sometimes. Trees communicate through delicate networks of mycorrhizal fungi. Help them boost their cellular network. Perfect for that extroverted Elm in your life.
Compost Tea
It's been a dry year. Your trees and shrubs are ready for a festive holiday brew. Give your trees the gift of compost tea.
Piedmont Prairie
Are your trees tired of pests? Do they want a little more wildlife in their life? Maybe a splash of color? Planting a Piedmont Prairie is the perfect companion for any tree.
We hope this list will help you find the perfect give for that special tree in your life. Have other suggestions? Send us a message, and we’ll add it to our list for next holiday season.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Leaf & Limb!
