 Fruit Reducing Treatments


     Osage Orange Hedge Apple Sweet Gum Seed Pod      Acorns

 

Are you tired of the piles of Sweet Gum seeds that gather around your trees or the thousands of acorns that drop from your Oaks each year? A fruit reducing spray or injection can severely diminish the total amount of fruit produced that calendar year. The key to this procedure is to administer the reducer when the tree starts to break flower in early spring. Once the tree has matured through the flower stage, the treatment is no longer effective.

 

Fruit reducers will also work on a multitude of tree species including Osage Orange, Catalpa, Cottonwood, Redbud, Crabapple, Pear and a host of other fruit bearing trees. Certain tree varieties work better with a fruit reducer injection while others can be sprayed. Your Certified Arborist can determine which treatment is best for your trees. Contact your local Arbor Masters® to learn how we can help reduce or eliminate the annoying fruit and seeds from your fruit bearing trees.   

 

Poor Drainage Can Ruin Your Landscape 

              

  Rainwater draining around foundation

Do you have standing water in your yard or around your foundation after it rains? Are your downspouts ineffective and unsightly? With spring just around the corner, is your landscape ready for spring showers?

Standing water and poor drainage can lead to foundation and landscape problems (view short drainage video). When trees and landscape plantings are exposed to these conditions, they can suffer from root rot and eventually die. Foundations in poorly drained or graded areas can over time crack, heave or leak water into basements resulting in expensive repairs. How do you prevent this from happening? The solution is to redirect the water away from your house and plantings. Whether it is a French, channel or trench drain or buried downspouts, Arbor Masters® Kansas City trained staff can help redirect rain water away from your home's foundation and plantings, and evenly distribute it throughout the yard.

Contact the drainage solution experts at Arbor Masters® in Kansas City and keep standing water out of your landscape and away from your foundation.

  • Remove winter mulch and clean up perennial garden beds. Add compost and fertilizer to prepare gardens for spring planting.
       
  • Now is the time to get your lawn mower ready. Make sure mower blades are sharpened and the motor is tuned up and ready for spring mowing.
