Ficus whiteflies, also called fig whiteflies, are one pest in our area that has a devastating impact on ficus species. A severe infestation results in the tree or an entire hedge losing leaves completely. Taking action in spring can help prevent widespread damange.

After winter ends, your trees and shrubs will be working hard to establish spring growth. A soil test in early spring can help determine the precise nutrients needed for that growth, yielding a fuller canopy and vibrant, health foliage.

Winter is the ideal time to prune many tree species. Removal of dead or diseased branches this time of year can greatly reduce the risk they pose to your home and property. Plus, pruning can improve the overall health and appearance of your trees, getting them in shape for spring.
