What are Tom’s Clients Saying?
Observations in the Field:
Active Hemlock Wooly Adelgig in Huntington, New York
February 27, 2020 – Be on the lookout! Hemlock Wooly Adelgig is a very common and destructive insect. Here is an example of active Adelgig in February. Please contact your local SavATree arborist to come up with a seasonable treatment plan, as well as to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Syosset, New York
February 21, 2020 – Bagworms are a highly destructive insect. Here is an example of damage from last season. Please contact me for an inspection to help your trees and shrubs!
Bayshore, New York
February 21, 2020 – Pruning done improperly can often do more harm then good. An example is this oak tree, the canopy is now completely out of balance. Make sure to work with an arborist and quality tree professionals.
St. James, New York
January 14, 2020 – Another way to tell deer are on your property besides the damage to your plants is “buck rub”. If your trees look like this, it is a good sign that deer are present and that they are probably snacking on your favorite shrubs and flowers. Keep your property healthy and safe from deer with SavATree’s DeerTech ultrasonic system and sprays. Our natural, safe repellents are a great way to keep deer damage to a minimum. Contact your local ISA Certified Arborist for a complimentary tree, shrub and lawn assessment!
Struggling Alaskan Cedar
June 26, 2019 – When landscaping your property, it’s important to be conscientious of maintaining proper planting death and soil level of current specimens when adding new plantings to your property. The rocks and beds of this Alaskan cedar were put around the trees years after they were planted. After several years, the trees are now showing visible signs of the stress caused by the grade change.
Be Careful of Sprinkers
June 26, 2019 – Be mindful of where your sprinkler heads are pointed as some plant material won’t respond well to being showered daily. For example, the taxus below does not like being wet every day. Contact SavATree for advice on how to properly care for your property.
Flowers

Inch Worms on a River Birch
June 26, 2019 – This week, I was on a clients’ property in Huntington, NY and noticed this damage on the leaves of their trees. This defoliation was caused by inchworms. They are very hungry moths in their larval state. These tiny critters can cause a lot of damage to your trees if they aren’t taken care of promptly. Keep a look out for these little guys! If you do notice inchworms or inchworm damage on your property, contact your local SavATree arborist right away.
Lace Bug Treatments in Seaford, Long Island
May 8, 2019 – The lace bug, a sucking insect, loves to feed on andromeda, weakening the plant and making it less visually appealing.
