Merchant Monday Tree Tip: Does Your Pear or Crabapple Look Burned?

If you have a Bradford pear, Callery pear, apple, crabapple, or ornamental pear, take a close look at the branch tips this time of year.

One common issue we see in Virginia is fire blight. It can make leaves and small branches suddenly wilt, turn brown or black, and look like they were scorched by a flame.

What to look for:

Blackened or brown branch tips

Wilted leaves that stay attached

“Shepherd’s crook” curling at the ends of shoots

Dead-looking sections scattered through the canopy

Cankers or sunken areas on branches in more advanced cases

Why it matters:

Fire blight can move from young shoots into larger branches if ignored. Pruning at the wrong time or during wet conditions can also spread the bacteria, so proper timing and sanitation matter.

Homeowner tip:

Do not just randomly cut infected branches without cleaning tools between cuts. If you suspect fire blight, have the tree evaluated so pruning cuts are made correctly and the spread is reduced.

Large hazardous white oak removal completed safely by Woodchuck Lawn and Tree LLC.

This tree had multiple old pruning cuts that had not compartmentalized properly, leading to extensive hollow areas throughout the trunk and canopy. After completing a Level 3 Tree Risk Assessment, our TRAQ Certified Arborist confirmed the decay was severe enough to recommend full removal.

The tree was overhanging the home, the house drop power line, nearby structures, and had the potential to impact the primary power line if it failed. Our crew used the bucket truck for controlled access and carefully rigged sections down by rope to protect the property and surrounding utilities.

All debris was removed, and the customer is planning to turn the large hollow stump into a unique monument — a great way to preserve part of this tree’s character while eliminating the hazard.

We’re very grateful to share that Woodchuck Lawn and Tree LLC was ranked Best Tree Service in Bumpass and Louisa County, Virginia, by BusinessRate.

We don’t take recognitions like this lightly. What makes this one meaningful to us is that, unlike many “best of” type awards you see out there, this ranking is completely data-driven. Businesses cannot pay to improve their placement or buy their way into the recognition. It is based on customer feedback, reviews, and the reputation a company has earned over time.

To us, that makes this less about an award and more about the trust our clients have placed in us.

We want to sincerely thank every customer who has hired us, reviewed us, recommended us, or simply supported our business. Your trust is what allows us to keep doing what we love and to continue raising the standard for tree care in our area.

We know there are many companies homeowners can choose from, and we are truly thankful every time someone chooses Woodchuck. We will continue working hard to earn that trust on every job by bringing honesty, safety, professionalism, and the Woodchuck Standard to everything we do.

If you or someone you know needs tree work, give us a call. We’d be honored for the chance to show you why so many local homeowners continue to trust Woodchuck.

Setting the Woodchuck Standard, one job at a time.

🌳 Technical Tree Removal Completed Safely & Professionally 🌳

This past week, our Woodchuck team completed a highly technical removal project involving multiple hazardous trees near the home and shed.

The job included:

✅ A large codominant tulip poplar with included bark at the base and a lean toward the house
✅ A very large soft, dead hickory leaning toward the home and shed
✅ A storm-damaged pine that had lost its top last year, leaving behind a 40-foot decaying pole leaning toward the shed
✅ Full debris removal from the property
✅ Stump grinding on all stumps

Because of the location, condition, and lean of these trees, this job required climbing access, careful rigging, and a high level of skill to complete safely and efficiently.

Our client was extremely happy with the final result — and amazed by the incredible skill our team brought to the table. They even sat outside in the shade and enjoyed the show while our crew worked hard through the intense heat.

We are incredibly proud of our Woodchucks and guys, trusted help on technical jobs like this. These are the kinds of projects that show what experience, training, teamwork, and pride in the craft really look like.
