Delightful Tree Leaves & Fall Foliage

It’s that time of year again to start seeing that beautiful fall foliage! We’re lucky to live in such a colorful state, and it’s beginning to get to that time when the leaves start changing to that stunning autumnal look. But have you ever wondered why your tree leaves change color in the fall? When out of season, color changes in tree leaves can be a cause for concern. For instance, some people see yellow in their trees during the spring, which could be due to an iron deficiency in the soil. Some leaves can even turn a brownish-rusty color, which is typically a sign of winter kill. However, seasonal chemical changes in tree leaves are vastly different than if they’re changing due to health issues. We all know that once summer ends, the nights start to get longer. But did you know that as the nights grow longer, a process called photosynthesis occurs in tree leaves?  This causes chlorophyll production (the leaves’ food storage that keeps it looking green) to slow down in autumn...

It’s important to water your plants correctly, especially here in Denver, where we’re that much closer to the sun.  Our arid climate combined with the UV index makes our trees and plants much more susceptible to drought and stress.  But never fear! ArborScape is here to show you how to do Denver watering the right way. There are different tips and tricks for watering your plants and trees, but knowing how much water they need and when they need it is an important part of the Denver watering process. Denver Watering For instance, your tree will need much more water when it’s young or even freshly planted.  With these types of trees, you’ll want to start out slowly and closer to the trunk so its roots and the surrounding soil can absorb the water until the area is saturated. For the first couple of weeks, you’ll want to water your new tree daily. And for the next 3-12 weeks, you should take care to water your trees every 2-3 days. But be cautious! There is a delicat...
