A Message from Parkway Partners
Green Greetings! BUCKMOTH CATERPILLARS

The Buckmoth Caterpillar infestation will be severe this spring. The caterpillars eat the tender green foliage in late March continuing until the tree is defoliated. The loss of this foliage is hard on trees already stressed by the storm, drought and last year's caterpillars. In addition these caterpillars have a nasty sting when touched by humans or pets.
Our Price: $65 per tree.

FERTILIZING
Our beautiful oaks should be professionally fertilized now. The mild wet winter has presented the best opportunity to rejuvenate our trees.
Our Price: $65 per tree
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TERMITE TREATMENT
Many trees were torn and twisted in the storm and the exposed wood attracted termites, allowing them to gain entry and further weaken the tree. Licensed companies use treatment methods approved by the City’s Department of Parks and Parkways.
Our Price: $130 per tree
