If you've never met a Fringe Tree in bloom, prepare yourself. Chionanthus virginicus — a native understory tree that erupts in fragrant, snow-white flowers each spring. Slow-growing, pollinator-friendly, and criminally underused in Triangle landscapes.
That dead limb hanging over your driveway? It’s not just unsightly — it’s a hazard. Removing dead, broken, or weakly attached limbs protects your home, your family, and the long-term health of the tree itself.
Even if we’ve had sunny skies recently, storm season doesn’t wait — neither should you.

Meet one of our favorite spring natives. Those nodding red-and-yellow blooms aren't just pretty — they're a hummingbird magnet and one of the earliest nectar sources of the season. Partial shade, well-drained soil, and let it self-seed. You'll be glad you did.

Spotted holes in your leaves? Don't panic, and definitely don't spray. Most leaf damage is a normal part of a healthy ecosystem, and many insects are actually helping your trees. But when damage is widespread, and your tree or shrub is struggling, it's worth a closer look. Our Treecologists can help you figure out what's really going on. Free quote at the link in our bio.
Ever watched a bee fumble around on a flower and wonder what's going on? Nora explains why bees can look a little clumsy on their first landing, and how quickly they figure out the most efficient way to collect pollen.
Climbing or bucket truck? It depends on the tree. John breaks down why we sometimes reach for the ropes and other times roll up in a bucket truck to access your canopy.
