As the holiday weekend approaches, we wanted to share a few important tree care reminders. If you’re spending some time outside this weekend, it’s a great opportunity to take a quick look around your property. Our crews have been seeing several common concerns throughout the Front Range this spring that homeowners should keep an eye on:

Delayed Leaf-Out: If one of your trees still looks sparse or hasn’t leafed out like others nearby, it may be struggling with root stress, winter injury, or underlying health issues. Trees that wake up late are often signaling that something isn’t quite right.

Frost Damage: The late cold snaps this spring were tough on fresh new growth, particularly with honey locust and green ash trees. Browning leaves, curled growth, or thin canopies are all common signs of frost injury.

Storm Stress: Heavy spring snow can put significant strain on trees, even when damage isn’t immediately obvious. Cracked limbs, weakened branch attachments, and structural stress may not show up until later in the season.

Trees that are stressed or have sustained damage may display any of the following signs:

- late or undeveloped springs buds
- cracked and flaking bark
- shriveled and discolored leaves
- dead or dying branches

If something looks off, or you’re just unsure, it’s a great time to meet with one of our certified arborists. A quick evaluation now, can prevent bigger problems down the road, and give your trees the support they need heading into summer.

As a veteran-owned company, Memorial Day is especially meaningful to us. It’s a time to pause and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, and to reflect on the freedoms their sacrifice made possible.

We’re grateful for those who served and for the opportunity to enjoy the everyday moments this weekend often brings, including time outdoors, time with family, and time spent appreciating the places we call home.

From the team at Fielding Tree Care, we wish you a safe and restful holiday weekend.

Thinking of swapping out your front lawn for a new xeriscape? Don’t forget to think of the trees. If a tree has been growing in your lawn for decades, you can be sure that it’s gotten used to the extra water.

The annual forest health report shows the continued spread of mountain pine beetles and other forest insects during the second consecutive year of above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation.

You do not need to see the pest to identify it. The pattern of damage on your leaves is a precise fingerprint. Learn the patterns and you can diagnose any infestation in seconds.

Clean round holes cut through the leaf — slugs feeding at night. Set beer traps at soil level and hand-pick after dark with a torch.

Ragged irregular holes with small dark pellets near the damage — caterpillar frass. The caterpillar is almost certainly on the underside of the same leaf.

Leaves completely skeletonised with only the veins remaining — Japanese beetles. Check in the morning when they are cold and slow, and drop them into soapy water.

Fine dusty stippling across the upper surface with webbing in the axil — spider mites. Strong water spray on the underside of leaves every morning for seven days breaks the reproductive cycle.

One pattern to welcome: perfect semicircle notches cut from leaf edges are leafcutter bees collecting nesting material. Not a pest. The plant is not harmed. 🌿
