Does anyone remember when it was warm? I remember it like it was yesterday.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to remove 1.5 massive cottonwoods overhanging a house built 17 years ago. We were able to retain the stems growing away from the house for the time being. Whoever built this house must have never heard "Right tree, right place!" These trees were definitely not in the right space to benefit the landscape long into the future.
Whether your tree has outlived its functional lifespan in the landscape or if you just want to ensure it has the best care to maximize it's long term benefits, give us a call and we're happy to discuss the options!

We even got to hang a bat house while we were there!

Yesterday while working at the Plan it Native Conference I got a call about a cat stuck in a tree. It's not uncommon for arborists to get called about cats in trees but this was my first time getting called about a cat stuck INSIDE a tree. After some back and forth strategizing I was able to go over there after the conference and cut a hole in a magnificent old hedge (Maclura pomifera) to get to the cat.
The tree and cat should both be fine.

Don't hesitate to call with any of your tree/cat care needs!

Last week Wellnitz's very own, Skyler Delmott, was elected to the board for the Midwestern Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture! He also presented for a second time in a month, on foraging and how to build relationships and traditions through connecting with the trees that surround us.
If you want to learn more about the trees that surround you, we'll be hosting a Tree Care Academy at the Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center February, 13th. Head over to the website to get Registered

I'm not sure we're currently in Kansas's first or second winter, but I do know spring is just around the corner! Come out and see us at the Johnson County Home and Garden Show at the Overland Park Convention Center January 30th-February 1st. Come find me and ask me you best tree questions.
Also there will be a chance to win free pillows for a year, not from us, but some other guy who values a years worth of pillows at $856?

Also at the KAA Shade Tree conference last week Jalen and Kayno were awarded their diplomas from the Kansas Arborist training course! Pictured is Jalen. I will try and get a photo of Kayno posted at some point.
