If you have trees in your garden or within land that you own, it’s time to check them and see how they’ve managed through the winter.

Spring has been very cold so far, so some trees are in blossom, while others have yet to show their new leaves.

Ahead of the summer months, carry out a check of your trees. Do they seems healthy? Are there any branches that need removing after the recent strong winds? How does the bark appear on your trees?

Our trees are essential to our planet’s survival so caring for them is one way we can help look after the environment.

Get in touch with us today so we can help care for your trees.

If you walk around Scarborough, you can’t help but notice how many trees there are!

With lots of walks to choose from, there are plenty of tree-lined views to enjoy.

Lots of paths are covered by trees and they offer shade.

Both the North and South Bays of Scarborough are tree havens and lots of wildlife enjoys the shelter the trees bring including woodpeckers and owls.

As spring arrives, the new buds will obscure some of the views of Scarborough.

As you walk around the town, admire the trees which grow so close to the sea and the clifftops.

As Easter approaches, it is springtime for our trees and plants.

New growth is starting to appear.

New buds are on the twigs and they are slowly opening ready for the warmer weather.

Again we’ve had a lot of wet and cloudy weather recently. The ground is saturated.

However, nature carries on as usual.

Our trees are very hardy and as each season comes and goes, they ar a constant in our world.

Keep an eye on your trees and if you think they need some attention, give us call!

We are at that time of year when the weather changes very quickly. From sub-zero temperatures to warm sunshine, anything is possible.

As we move from winter into spring, our trees are beginning to show visible signs of life.

Tree pollen has been high, particularly in the sunshine, and this year’s new leaves are developing.

The late winter has brought us torrential rain, plunging temperatures, snow, wind and sunshine.

Take a walk around any of our local beauty spots and you can see amazing textures and patterns on our older trees.

While many trees are still bare, the ground is a carpet of snowdrop, daffodils or crocuses, providing lots of natural colour.

The outlines of our trees are still visible for a few more weeks until the appearance of fresh green leaves in the spring.

The main thing is to enjoy our trees as we enjoy our outdoor exercise. They are the lungs of our earth.

Well, the snow is on the ground and deep frosts have returned.

As spring beckons, the cold easterly winds and plunging temperatures have made us wrap up warm and wish for warmer days!

Our trees are very hardy and they can cope with big changes in temperatures.

They, like us, are waiting for the new season.

So while we still need to use our big coats and sturdy footwear, our trees are used to the different seasons.

Roll on, Spring!

Our location includes number of forests including private estates and the Great Yorkshire Forest.

Tree thinning is one of the jobs that needs doing, as well as making sure growing trees are healthy.

Any twigs, branches or logs that happen to be lying around can be put to use by forest visitors!

Also parts of tree trunks can make a natural seat so you can admire the views.

Forests help keep our natural environment healthy.

With 2020 behind us, we face a brand new year, another 12-months in an uncertain world.

However, the sun will continue to rise; the trees will continue to grow; the seasons will continue to change.

Already the spring buds will be there at the tip of the branches. These will gradually grow, expand and unfurl as the days get lighter.

January, February and March can be the coldest months of the year. We’ve already had a cold snap.

Trees are prepared for this yet it is also the time of year to keep checking your trees and also their roots.

Roots can also pose a potential problem below ground. Give us a call if you feel there’s a hitch.

Of course, we also want to wish everyone a safe 2021. Our role as tree surgeons is to keep everyone’s trees as healthy as possible, and to keep those who are lucky enough to have trees either in their gardens or at their place of work as safe we can.

We are lucky that Yorkshire has some amazing forest areas forming part of our natural landscape.

Some forests are within locally-owned estates although they are still open to the public to visit.

These forests can have a variety of tree species in their midst. From evergreens to deciduous types, these forests are not only important for our planet, they are also important for the wildlife, flora and fauna.

Forests have been here since time began and we know from fossil remains and precious materials such a jet that different species of trees have be present in our region in the long, distant past.

As winter progresses, and if you get chance, why not find your way to a nearby forest and enjoy the winter shapes and landscapes?

Even though we are close to the coast, the Scarborough area has stunning forests which are managed by the Forestry Commission.

During the mid to late autumn, these forests become even more peaceful as some trees drop their leaves while other keep their evergreen colours.

Forests become even quieter as nature heads towards winter and animals start to hibernate.

Mists gather in open spaces and gloss the grasses and spider’s webs with moisture.

Nature is going to sleep until the spring.

Yet it’s always worth looking upwards too at this time of year. As the tall trees of the forest reach overhead, you can see blue skies between the top branches.

Our trees are the lungs of our planet and we can also enjoy them and admire them from down on the ground.

So we are well into autumn, winter is on the horizon and this means wet weather, windy conditions and difficult ground conditions.

From saturated soils to slippery leaves, the transition into winter brings its own challenges.

As the leaves fall, it does give you chance to check the condition of trunks, bark and branches.

Checking the health of your trees can be difficult at other times of year.

Of course, if your tree is an evergreen, then it will hold onto its leaves throughout the winter.

So if you notice something different, or maybe a branch that doesn’t look safe, get the experts to sort it safely.
