Fall and Winter is the ideal time to prune and trim your trees. The Mueller POA Landscape Committee is offering a tree care workshop to cover general tree care (feeding, watering, mulching) and proper pruning techniques. Related tree care handouts and brochures will be provided.

When: November 2, 2013 (10:00-11:30am)
Where: 4233 Threadgill

The workshop is being lead by arborist Tim Brosnan, ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborist and owner of Brosnan Outdoor Craft, LLC. Tim did the landscape design and installation for Contigo. He got his start in landscaping and carpentry, but has found a real passion working in and around trees, He specializes in climbing and pruning, but is happy to help with whatever tree needs you may have. Tim, his wife, and three girls live across 51st street in Windsor Park.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks, Joe! Many of our street and yard trees need pruning to clear the sidewalks for pedestrians. Fall is the best time to prune trees. A demonstration is a great way to learn how to safely prune trees to improve their health.

I've noticed several neighbors have started their fall tree pruning. If you need to do this and just not sure what to do or how, join us on Nov. 2nd and talk with arborist Tim Brosnan.

See you there.

We would love to come to this event, but will not be able to make it. Is there anyone who would be willing to post bullet points from the meeting of what to do to properly trim and maintain trees or is there a brochure somewhere?

I will post notes from the workshop but also have materials I can provide.

Joe

I'm planning on attending! Thank you for posting!

And if we need an extra set of trees to demonstrate on - I'm just a few houses down and offer them up as guinea trees!

Dr. David Appel of A&M says that trees suffer from drought for seven years. They are weakened and more susceptible to disease. So, just because we have had great rains this month, doesn't mean our trees are out of the woods (ahem!). So, proper pruning, fertilization and monitoring for disease is extremely important for our Mueller trees. Trees in Central Texas are not "plant it and forget it," as they are in different climates.
So....plan to come to this great Tree Care Workshop!

Tomorrow looks like an excellent morning (10:00-11:30) for the POA Landscape Committee Tree Workshop. Come over to 4233 Threadgill and meet arborist Tim Brosnan and let's talk tree care.

Thanks so much for organizing this, Joe! It was excellent.

This tree care workshop is one of my favorite places to visit right now. I was there last night with my casino mates from https://casinobonuscoupon.com/ website, and we learned a lot of stuff there. I was happy that my casino bonus mates agreed to go with me.
