A friend recommended SavATree, so we gave them a shot after a bad experience from another company, and we could not have been happier with their service. Dean V. Came out to review our needs, and after scheduling an appointment, Dean and his crew were on time, personable, efficient, and did a great job! I highly recommend Dean and Sav-a-Tree for all your landscaping needs.

What Is Tree Sap and When To Schedule a Tree Health Inspection?

Post Excerpt:Tree sap is a natural part of a tree's vascular system, carrying water and nutrients between the roots and canopy. But when sap appears on the outside of the tree — dripping, discolored, foul-smelling, or paired with sawdust, wilting leaves, or fungal growth — it can signal insect infestation, disease, or environmental stress. Learn what's normal, what's a warning sign, and when it's time to schedule a tree health inspection with an ISA Certified Arborist®.

Persian Ironwood: Growth, Care, and Landscape Value

Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica) is a slow-growing, four-season standout prized for its red winter flowers, vibrant fall color, and striking exfoliating bark that becomes more beautiful with age. Hardy in USDA zones 5–8, this insect-resistant, low-maintenance tree tolerates urban stress and a range of soil types, though it performs best in acidic conditions. Whether used as a single-trunk shade tree or a multi-stemmed specimen, Persian ironwood adds long-term structure and seasonal interest to any commercial or residential landscape.
