About Me
Hello. My name is Neve, and I want to welcome you to my tree blog. Trees are glorious, great and of course, grounded. They provide everything, from shade, to food, to recreation, and they can be harvested and made into other things. I have always been in awe of trees, more so than with other plants I have to admit. There's just something about the way that they stretch up to the sky but also have so much going on below. In this blog, I am going to write about many aspects of tree care, and I hope that these blogs help you take great care of your trees. Thank you so much for reading!

The Less Foliage—the Better
Whether you're attempting to do the work yourself or will be calling a tree service, don't wait.
Two tips to follow when having a tree removed after some heavy snowfall

Don't clear away the snow around the tree before the tree removal team arrives
Whilst you might think that clearing away most of the snow that surrounds the tree would help the tree removalists, as it would make the tree more accessible, it's best not to do this (or to only make a very narrow path to the tree so these professionals don't have to wade through snow to access it).
