The arborists at West Chester Tree Service were friendly, and attentive people to work with. Their communication, promptness in getting back to us, and sticking to the schedule, were on point. They listened, trimmed the trees exactly the way we wanted, and at the same time tended them with care and knowledge needed to do it properly. Would definitely have them come back to do more work, and definitely recommend their services.

I would highly recommend West Chester Tree Service to family and friends. This was my first experience having tree work done at my home. I found the arborists to be very professional from the beginning to the end of the project. Three days of rainy weather interrupted the job and they took special care to protect my front yard when they returned to finish up the project. They were very diligent in clearing away all the debris. The owner was courteous when answering my questions and making recommendations. I would not hesitate to call this company again for any future projects.

"which one of my trees needs care?"
Trees can suffer from many conditions. Some are brought on by nature and others by human influence. Some natural causes of correctable problems in trees are co-dominant leads, the effect of the elements, fungus & disease and of course, old age. The negative effect humans can have on trees is by pruning them poorly or neglecting them entirely. Not to mention, this work can be extremely dangerous for someone who does not know exactly what they are doing. For help with any of these issues, your best (and safest!) results will be to call in the professionals at West Chester Tree Service.
natural causes
CO-DOMINANT LEADS
Trees often have main leads or limbs in their crown that compete for nutrients and sunlight. This can make for a dangerous situation when they become large enough. Neither contestant in the race for sunlight will have the appropriate strength for its size, a scenario called "co-dominant lead". The worst case in this scenario is when this happens at the base of a tree, as it makes the tree very unsteady. These particular trees are often in need of a cable system for support as well as a good professional tree pruning. Although tree pruning and cabling may suit some situations, other trees may need the slightly less dominant limb removed. It is important that an expert tree service handles this situation, as the most important aspect is safely and effectively removing the issue. If this cut is too close to the trunk there may be a situation for decay rather than healing. The same can happen if the cut is made too far from the trunk, base, or limb.
If you notice any co-dominant lead issues, your best (and safest!) results will be to call in the professionals.

EFFECT OF THE ELEMENTS
We all know that lightning strikes are a common cause of devastation to trees and property. Until recently, there was no way to prevent such a disaster. However, lightning protection systems are becoming more widely used and can be installed to protect trees that a homeowner wishes to preserve, as well as to prevent further damage and property loss. Aside from the obvious damage lightning can cause such as fire, it can also cause irreparable breakage that will attract water pooling. This pooling produces rot, invites fungus and disease, and will ultimately claim the life of the tree.
Some trees also experience the effects of a blazing summer sun combined with drought conditions. Their extremities are dying, often causing a deadwood in the crown which is not only displeasing to look at, but is the beginning of a dangerous situation. Deadwood in the crown of a tree is most hazardous because it has the tendency to break and fall into the tree as something known as a "hanger" or "widow maker". That second term sums it up - it can be a very dangerous situation for anyone beneath the dangling limb. It is important that an aerial lift is utilized by a tree service professional when working on such a project in order to ensure that all hazards are removed from areas of the tree that are unable to be reached and removed with other methods of tree pruning such as climbing.
The crown of a tree has many vulnerabilities to weakness. The crown strength of a tree is put to the test during northeast Pennsylvania storms with whipping winds, and the weight of ice and snow or those combined. It is important to take preventative measures by having a professional prune your tree correctly before the winter hits since more catastrophic breakage can occur during the season.

FUNGUS AND DISEASE
Trees are susceptible to many ailments and diseases. Disease-causing fungus, however, is the most incurable of ailments. If fungi is given the appropriate circumstances and environmental conditions, it can cause disease in a tree. The types of disease that fungi can cause may be broken down into four categories: foliage & shoot diseases, vascular wilts, canker diseases, and root & butt diseases.
It is important to take all of these factors into consideration with attempt to keep your trees and property in ideal health. Proper pruning, deadwood removal, and regular fertilizing and watering are the best ways to defend against such issues with your landscape.

OLD AGE
Older trees often have many needs. Many times, these older trees may have a combination of problems such as deadwood, fungus, disease, and rot. More mature trees react poorly to a "hard" pruning and often need a gentle touch of pruning along with a deep root feeding. The most helpful strategy to preserve the life of an older tree is to remove the deadwood prune off any "suckers", supply the tree with food, and supply a consistent source of water. "Suckers" are thick, sprouty limbs that often appear on older trees due to stress over time. These limbs suck water and nutrients from the tree and are of no benefit to the strained trunk and crown of the structure. A tree service company can give the tree a deep feeding with a product that contains a hormone that causes the root system to undergo a growth spurt. This will allow for years of maximum nutrient intake that may not otherwise happen if left unfertilized. The product is eco-friendly and has only positive effects on the area to which it is applied. Usually, the effects are often recognizable within a year. To the naked eye the foliage will appear more hardy and solid in color in the next season. Internally, the tree will be stronger than it previously was. It is also important that the tree gets the appropriate amount of water. Therefore, alternative methods of watering by a tree service company may be necessary.

If fungi is given the appropriate circumstances and environmental conditions, it can cause disease in a tree. The types of disease that fungi can cause may be broken down into four categories: foliage & shoot diseases, vascular wilts, canker diseases, and root & butt diseases.
- Foliage and shoot diseases are the most common of all the ailments. The main symptom is usually brown spots or blotches on the leaves, needles, and branches. This disease disrupts the aesthetic aspect of the tree. However, the trees will often live for long periods of time with this particular fungus/disease.
- Vascular wilts are the result of fungus entering the water transport system of a tree. When this happens, the tree will often show immediate signs of decline and will ultimately die.
- Canker diseases usually enter through wounds from unkempt breakage or poor tree pruning cuts. This fungus affects the bark by causing it to become discolored and deeply eroded.
- Root and butt diseases are the most dangerous of the ailments because they often show no immediate visible symptoms but may cause the entire tree to fall. This fungus silently decays the root system as well as areas of the trunk. Tree services can help to diagnose this issue if you suspect your tree may have this disease.
It is important to take all of these factors into consideration with attempt to keep your trees and property in ideal health. Proper pruning, deadwood removal, and regular fertilizing and watering are the best ways to defend against such issues with your landscape.

POOR PRUNING IN THE PAST
There are many trees that suffer from poor pruning in the past. If your tree has suffered improper tree trimming or pruning that cannot be corrected, there may be environment for fungal spores to multiply and infect your tree. Trees overcome by rot fungus and decay not only become unattractive to look at but are often weakened and hazardous. It is important that a professional makes the proper cuts when pruning your tree, otherwise you may lose the tree completely. Oftentimes, corrective measures cannot be taken when cuts are made too close to the trunk and internal decay has already begun. This is why it is extremely important to have your tree pruned correctly the first time around. You know who to call!

NO PRUNING AT ALL
Some homeowners completely neglect to have their trees cared for at all which leaves trees susceptible to the above types of disease and rotting. There are often "hanger" branches left within the crown of the trees. Co-dominant scenarios can make a tree become oversized to the point that it becomes un-manageable. But most unfortunately, trees that would have lived full lives and provided shade and beauty on a property will often need to be removed because they have become a hazard to the property and a threat to the safety of a home. In the end, this ends up being a much larger cost to the customer than it would have been if the tree had been properly pruned throughout its life.
