FAQ

I have 100-200-year-old Post Oak trees with Spanish Moss, and I want them properly trimmed to prevent disease. What is the cost for pruning? Also, I’m looking for a Peach Bougainvillea tree with a thick trunk and at least 30-40 feet tall. Can you recommend a nursery that carries this type?

Your intuition to proceed with caution regarding your Post Oak trees is correct as they are a very sensitive species. While I have not seen your neighbor's Post Oaks, improper pruning or over-pruning could certainly have killed the trees. The Spanish moss is not likely to be a factor. If you want a price to prune your trees, then we will have to come out and inspect. Please contact our experts at Bartlett to schedule an appointment. The Bougainvillea tree you describe sounds like the species Bougainvillea arborea, which is a rarity among nurseries these days.
