When Seeking Professional Advice, where’s the middle ground

Every year we receive emails, calls and visits regarding a tree or tress not doing well, or not up to expections. Warranty is one thing, but expectations are important for our customers and essential for future business and referals. So we are concerned that we do proper follow up. When a client calls a professional Arborist in a situation is incubated that creates a who’s right issue. The arborist has to justify his time and a report is required for payment in most cases. As professionals in our field its not good to be critical of our peers. Plants as people all carry potential disease and illness within, not all things will blow up into full born situations where the plants are at risk as in people versus cancer, diabetes or heart and stroke problems.

Fertilizing, proper watering, right locations, good soil all will affect a plants performance. Some plants that are challenged with one of all of the above need time to establish or find level of establishment based on conditions of a new home. The seller still has as much investment as the pu

rchaser till the warranty is completed. Send a picture make a call and usually an answer came be found at the level before others are required.

This is my personal opinion.
