I have an arborist who does quotes for me but it would be difficult for him to give an accurate quote without seeing the trees in person. I'd like to be of help but I wouldn't want to mislead you. It is good that you got your trees sprayed, especially if you are having the type of winter we are.Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-87432657851475264242014-01-24T11:02:00.836-05:002014-01-24T11:02:00.836-05:00Correct.

On rare occasion I will hear of brand new trees being planted at construction sites in December and Transfilm being applied for protection but that is an unusual circumstance.Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-55897994143504496442014-01-24T09:42:29.479-05:002014-01-24T09:42:29.479-05:00Also can you estimate pricing for a professional a...Also can you estimate pricing for a professional application of an anti desiccant on 43 trees? I'm worried that I've been overcharged and did not request an estimate. I'd like to be better prepared in the future.

Anti-dessicant is meant for broad leaved evergreens such as Skip and Cherry Laurel, Holly and Boxwood that are prone to moisture loss due to a large surface area on the leaves.Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-33634037941493646132013-10-22T21:12:10.506-04:002013-10-22T21:12:10.506-04:00Will Transfilm harm my Arborvitae?
