TREE TOPPING
IS RUINING OUR SHADE
Beware of Unlicensed Companies Soliciting Tree Work
By Shane Moore, Deputy Director - Parks
S
St. George is unique in the American Southwest because of
our beautiful shade trees. These unsung heroes provide shade
during our unbearably hot days of summer. Shade trees reduce
the “heat island” effect that our streets and sidewalks produce.
Trees help save energy by reducing air conditioning in the
summer and wind reduction in the winter.
They also increase property values and beautify our
neighborhoods.
When a tree is topped the tree sends out epicormic shoots or
what we call water suckers. These new branches do not have
strong attachments and can eventually fall from the tree. Trees
P U B L I C S E RV I C ES | T R E E TO P P I N G I S R U I N I N G O U R S H A D E
cannot properly close these wounds, creating an avenue for
disease to infect the tree. These issues can ultimately cause a
tree to fail.
Trees are highly compartmentalized organisms. This means they
can contain disease and decay by growing thick cell walls around
the infection. When a pruning cut is made in the proper place on
a tree, the wound can heal properly. The best place to prune a
branch is at the branch collar. The branch collar is a swollen area
of wood near the base of the branch. When a cut is made just in
front of the branch collar the wood is able to grow over the cut
and compartmentalize inside the tree.
Every winter we see an increase of unlicensed companies
coming to St. George to solicit tree work. These companies
canvas neighborhoods and offer discounted tree care. Some are
not only unlicensed to work in St. George, but also are unqualified
without any arborist certifications.
The International Society of Arborists (ISA) has a professional
certification for tree workers. This certification shows that the
tree worker has a good understanding of tree health, pruning
standards and tree work safety. The City of St. George requires
that any arborist who works on City trees or trees that fall in the
City right of way be an ISA Certified Arborist.
There are many reputable tree services in Southern Utah. Most
of these companies will have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff. It is
a good idea to ask any tree care company for their qualifications
and references.
Bad tree work can cost thousands of dollars in future tree care or
the loss of your tree. Make sure that the work being done to your
tree is necessary and needed.
If you have questions, please call our Parks Division at
627-4530 and one of our arborists can help you.
