Spotted Lanternflies Spotted lanternflies (SLF) suck the sap out of various fruit, ornamental, and woody trees, leaving them vulnerable to attacks from other insects and diseases. SLFs excrete a sticky honeydew substance which can interfere with the tree’s ability to complete photosynthesis while attracting other swarms of insects that feed on it. Watch out for…
Our homeowners association is responsible for the care & maintenance of approximately 80 trees on our street including 61 elm trees that are over 100 years old (having survived the Dutch Elm Disease outbreak in the 1970s and 80s). After some very disappointing interactions with our prior tree care company, we interviewed 3 other tree care companies including SavATree. We began working with Emily in the fall of 2023 and as of this review have had them perform two multi-day jobs for us …and we could not be happier with SavATree!! Our work with Emily Rushka and her team has been absolutely outstanding. Beyond Emily we have obviously interacted with their crews who are super thoughtful when trimming and super careful when bringing down large branches (ie instead of letting them just fall damaging landscaping, fences, etc). Also, SavATree’s disease/pest/treatment experts are deeply knowledgeable, giving us multiple methods/treatments to consider. In working with Emily and her team, everything has been ‘beyond professional’ including their responsiveness to calls/emails, the pre-work discussions where we develop a ‘work plan’ to the actual trimming/care and the post-work clean-up. Our ‘legacy’ elms and their unique historical background is very important to us!! Given that, we insist on working with tree care professionals who actually have the overall health of the trees as their top priority!! We have unfortunately found that many OTHER tree care companies out there do not think about their job in this way …they are more interested in how fast they can fill up the back of their truck with wood chips, included even making cuts on trees that are actually excessive and degrading the health of the trees!! In contrast, everything about SavATree is focused on the overall health and longevity of the trees. The company name says it all!!
