Tree Branch Collar & Proper Pruning Practices

The branch collar protects the tree from decay & disease, and helps the tree heal wounds from pruning.

Diplodia Tip Blight

PPE For The Tree Care Industry

Diplodia attacks stressed conifers, especially pines with needles in bunches of 2’s and 3’s such as Scots and Austrian pine.

Pines with needles in bunches of 5 are highly resistant. The disease can attack other conifers such fir, spruce and juniper, but generally does very little harm to these species.

The fungus affects current year shoots and sometimes branches, and can disfigure or even kill them under severe conditions.

PPE is one of the most important aspects in the tree care industry. Our team at Migra Tree Service is always equipped with proper gear essentials.

• Helmets and head protection equipment, which prevent head injuries from falling debris and other objects.

• Eye protection, which includes things like safety glasses and face shields.

• Hearing protection, which can prevent long-term damage from sustained periods of exposure to loud noises.

• Hand protection, which provides protection against cuts, abrasions, and even unexpected impacts.

• Foot protection, which can help reduce the risk of foot injuries by way of sturdy, protective footwear.

• Climbing gear, which can include options like harnesses and ropes.

• High-visibility clothing, which can help make sure that our crew always remain visible, even in very busy areas or areas with poor lighting conditions.
