Pruning is essential to maintaining the health of our Kelowna trees and consequentially pruning  trees helps the health of our local birds; however it is equally critical to prune correctly and at the right time. In this article we delve into the why, when and how of fall pruning once the nesting season is finished. But first, we’d like to touch on how to create a bird sanctuary in the urban environment.

Creating an Urban Bird Sanctuary with Trees and Hedges

Trees and other flora such as bushes and hedges are vital for healthy bird populations. A decrease in habitat is one of the main reasons for the decrease of our bird population, and urban areas are a major contributor to the decrease of habitat. Urban areas pose other risks to birds as well: our use of pesticides, our cats and our buildings full of windows all hurt birds. Luckily we can mitigate some of these threats by taking care of our residential gardens and green spaces. Trees, bushes and hedges provide a number of benefits for birds: security from predators, a safe place to nest as well as being a prime food source, both from fruits and seeds as well as from the insects this flora attracts.

Go Native Whenever Possible

The best trees, bushes and hedges to increase our native bird population are native ones; our local birds have co-evolved with our native flora as their food source and shelter, making them eminently suitable to our local birds. Local birds are genetically in tune with native flora; they know when native trees flower, fruit and shed leaves, and they automatically synchronize their life cycles and migration patterns to the flora’s life cycles. A few examples of Kelowna area native trees that attract birds are: Pacific Dogwood, Poplar, Willow and Serviceberry.

Growing Bird Corridors

City hedges create bird corridors by forming a chain of connected, native vegetation that provides food, shelter, and nesting sites for birds and other wildlife. At their best, hedges provide a green network that links the more substantial green spaces, allowing birds to move safely between them. Hawthorn, Hazel and Oregon Grape are Kelowna native species that make great hedges.

How Pruning Maintains Tree and Hedge Health

With a diversity of native trees and hedges, we’ve already set the foundation for protecting our birds. Pruning is an essential maintenance practice to promote the health of your bird sanctuary.   

Pruning helps maintain the health of your trees and hedges by:

• Increasing pest control by removing dead, diseased and damaged branches
• Improving growth by directing nutrients to healthy branches
  Improving air flow and light, for increased photosynthesis
• Increasing structural strength
• Increasing flower and fruit production

Pruning increases the health of our trees and hedges which in turn will boost our nesting bird population; however pruning at the wrong time can seriously damage our birds’ ability to produce young.

Regulations Protecting Bird Nests

In fact, there are both federal and provincial regulations (federal Migratory Birds Convention Act and the provincial Wildlife Act) that aim to protect migratory birds by prohibiting their nests from being damaged or disturbed when they contain a live bird or viable egg. 

The nesting season in BC varies with each species; however, it generally lasts from March 1 to August 31. That leaves the beginning of September to the end of February for pruning.

Fall Pruning: When and How

While most plant pruning is best undertaken in the spring to stimulate growth, fall tree pruning has benefits and may even be preferred in some cases.

The time to prune your tree in the fall is once the leaves have dropped. This signifies that the tree has gone dormant. Conifers also go dormant which is apparent by a lack of new growth and when its buds are set. Reasons to prune in the fall are:

• Better Able to See the Tree’s Structure: Once the leaves have fallen, it is easier to see the structure of the tree and what branches need to be removed.
• Preparation for Spring Growth: Fall pruning clears away dead branches, not only removing a possible danger of branches failing under the weight of snow in winter, it also enables the tree to kick start growth in the spring instead of focusing on healing spring pruning cuts.
• Controls Disease and Pests: Removing diseased or pest infested branches in the fall decreases the chance of the disease spreading.
• Less Stressful: Trees go dormant in the fall, so pruning is less stressful. For some trees, particularly ones that bleed in the spring, such as maple or cherry, fall pruning is a must.

Fall Pruning is Best Left to the Professionals

Fall pruning post nesting season can be extremely beneficial for the health of the tree, however, it can also be tricky. It must be done with a high degree of knowledge to remove only what needs to be removed, and only when the tree has gone dormant. Professional arborists are also careful to avoid bird nests. Even if the birds have finished nesting for the year, many species return to reuse the same nest. For fall pruning especially, it is best left to professionals. If you live in the Kelowna area and you need help, give Action Tree a call.

In this article we delve into the types of summer storm damage a tree can suffer, and how the tree can be helped to heal if it isn’t too badly damaged.

How Summer Storms Can Damage Trees

A summer storm can include a mix of wind, heavy rain, lightning or hail. Any of these elements, on their own or in combination, can damage a tree.

Common issues after a summer storm are:

Broken branches, limbs and foliage damage: Wind, hail and even heavy rain can snap branches leaving them hanging precariously. This sort of damage is more frequent in trees with a dense crown, but can happen to any tree. Not only does this pose a safety risk to people and property, it can also negatively impact the structure, and thus the health of the tree. As well, strong wind and hail can strip or shred the leaves and needles from a tree, decreasing its ability to photosynthesize and receive the nutrients and energy it needs for health.

Leaning or uprooted trees: The Okanagan often experiences periods of drought in the summer, which can make trees more vulnerable to wind damage, especially when combined with the heavy rains of a summer storm. In a drought, the roots of a tree can start to die off, weakening the tree. The heavy rains of a summer storm can then quickly saturate the soil, reducing the soil’s ability to anchor the tree’s roots. Under these conditions, a strong wind can more easily topple a tree, especially one with a shallow root system.

Damage to a tree’s structure:

Trees with a particularly dense tree canopy are vulnerable to structural damage in a strong wind — especially if the canopy is very heavy due to rain, Wind will not easily flow through a dense tree canopy and a strong wind can move this dense tree canopy in a way which can, in turn, move the root plates of the tree, causing a twisting or bending that can leave cracks and splits in the tree’s trunk. If it is bad enough, this can make the tree unstable and more prone to falling over. Cracks or splitting can also provide entry points for disease or insects.

If lightning directly strikes a tree, the extreme heat can boil the water within the tree’s cells, causing an explosion that can spit the tree’s trunk, leave burned grooves in the bark or completely shatter the bark. Even if there does not seem to be much external damage, the tree could have suffered internal burning and damage and must be checked out by an arborist.

Tree Pruning, Trimming, Cabling & Bracing are the Ideal Fixes for Storm Damaged Trees

If your trees have been damaged in a summer storm, the first step is to call a certified arborist to evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action for restoration. The arborist will also assess the hazards, such as hanging branches, fallen trees, proximity to buildings or power lines, and will organize for professionals to safely remove the threats.

In many cases, expert tree pruning, trimming, cabling or bracing, and possibly some bark and tree wound repair, are all that are needed to help a tree back to health and to stabilize it. However, unfortunately, sometimes the best course of action is tree removal. 

Tree Trimming and Pruning

If the storm damage is mostly limited to the tree’s crown, and is less than 50% of the crown, there is a good chance, under the guidance of an ISA certified arborist, that the tree can be saved. At Action Tree we remove the heavily damaged and dangerous branches and limbs and then prune or trim to work on branching patterns for healthy regrowth and stronger resilience to future storms.

How pruning and trimming helps a tree back to health after storm damage: 

• Removes the danger of further damage from falling branches
• Reduces wind resistance, greatly reducing branch breakage, as well as twisting and bending of the structure in a strong wind
• Prevents disease and decay, by removing the damaged areas and thus the entry points for disease or insects
• Balances and improves the tree’s structure so the tree is more resilient in future storms
• Promotes growth by getting rid of damaged parts that can sap a tree’s energy

Tree Cabling & bracing

If the damage to the tree involves structural weakness within the canopy or trunk, the arborist might suggest support through cabling and bracing. These methods will distribute the weight to prevent further damage. 

Cabling involves strategically installing steel cables in the tree’s canopy to support weaker branches so they don’t snap or split under their weight or in a wind. Bracing involves inserting metal rods into the trunk or branches or using other hardware to reinforce areas where there are cracks or splits to prevent further damage and allow for healing.

Cabling and bracing are powerful measures, and they must be done by an expert and inspected regularly. If cables or braces are improperly placed they can strangle (girdle) a tree or cause other structural problems.

How Cabling and bracing can help a tree back to health after storm damage:

• Increases resilience to winds and storms, minimizing the potential for further damage
• Increases the chance for limbs to heal since they will be less likely to be stressed or to break
• Increases the lifespan of a weakened tree
• Avoids tree removal in some cases

Are Your Trees Suffering From Summer Storm Damage?

The good news is that in many cases, a tree can be nursed back to health after summer storm damage. A plan of action could involve tree pruning, trimming, cabling, bracing or other tree care measures depending on the arborist’s diagnosis. In some cases a dangerous tree will need to be removed.

Summer storm cleanup can be risky. Often branches or whole trees have or are about to fall on live wires, buildings or other trees. Action Tree is highly experienced with these sorts of circumstances, and has all the necessary equipment to handle even the most hazardous situation involving a tree.

Nursing a storm damaged tree back to health takes a great deal of knowledge and expertise. If the problem is not diagnosed correctly or the solutions are not applied properly, the tree might not make a full recovery.

If your trees were damaged in a summer storm, give us a call. We can restore them to their vibrant health and beauty. 

Lilac Trees in Kelowna

As arborists at Action Tree Service in the picturesque city of Kelowna, BC, we have the pleasure of working with a variety of beautiful trees that thrive in our unique climate. One of the most enchanting and popular among our clients is the lilac tree. Famous for its vibrant blooms and sweet fragrance, the lilac can be a stunning addition to any landscape. However, maintaining these delicate trees in Kelowna’s sometimes harsh summer heat requires specific care. In this blog, we’ll share some of the wisdom we’ve garnered over the years on how to keep your lilac trees flourishing even during our warmest months.

Understanding Lilacs

Before diving into care techniques, it’s important to understand a few basics about lilacs. These deciduous trees are known for their lovely spring flowers and sweet aroma. They typically bloom in late spring, though some varieties can flower in early summer. Lilacs generally prefer cooler climates, but they can adapt to warmer temperatures if cared for properly.

Selecting the Right Lilac

Choosing the right lilac variety can make a big difference in how well it will thrive in Kelowna’s climate. Some species are more heat-tolerant than others. The common lilac (Syringa vulgaris) and the Persian lilac (Syringa x persica) are popular choices that are known for their adaptability and hardiness. When selecting a lilac, consider its mature size and bloom time to ensure it fits well with your garden’s layout and your desired aesthetic.

Planting Your Lilac

Any tree’s success often begins with its planting technique. To give your lilac the best start:

• Timing: Plant lilacs during the cooler months of fall or early spring to avoid the summer heat stress.
• Location: Choose a spot where the tree will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. To bloom profusely, lilacs need plenty of sun.
• Soil: Lilacs prefer well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Before planting, amend the soil with compost to improve its structure and fertility.
• Spacing: Ensure there is enough space between your lilacs and other plants. This promotes good air circulation, which is crucial in preventing fungal diseases.

Watering Practices

Proper watering is crucial, especially during Kelowna’s hot summers. Consistency is key. Water your lilacs deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth, which helps the tree access moisture even during dry spells.Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of your lilac to help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Using a soil moisture meter or check the soil manually to ensure it’s moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilising and Pruning

Lilacs do not require heavy fertilisation, but they do benefit from the right nutrients. Use a balanced fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, as they can lead to excessive green growth at the expense of blooms. Prune lilacs right after they bloom to shape the tree and remove spent blooms. This helps the tree focus its energy on next year’s flowers rather than seed production. Remove any dead or diseased branches to maintain the tree’s health and appearance.

Pest and Disease Management

Even with the best care, lilacs can be susceptible to pests and diseases, especially in a climate as variable as Kelowna’s.Common pests like lilac borers and scale can be managed through regular inspections and, if necessary, the use of appropriate insecticides.

Prevent Diseases: Powdery mildew is a common fungal issue, particularly in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation and consider fungicidal treatments if the problem persists.

Not just about blooms

Caring for lilac trees in Kelowna’s summer heat can be a rewarding endeavor. With the right knowledge and a bit of dedication, these beautiful trees can thrive and bring years of beauty and fragrance to your garden. At Action Tree Service, we’re committed to helping our community’s landscapes look their best. Whether you need advice on plant selection or professional care for your existing trees, contact us, we’re here to help. Remember, a healthy lilac is not just about blooms; it’s about creating a vibrant ecosystem in your own backyard.

Happy gardening from all of us at Action Tree Service!

Nestled in the heart of British Columbia, the Okanagan Valley is renowned for its stunning landscapes and dry, sunny climate. While the region boasts perfect conditions for vineyards and orchards, the typically low precipitation levels present unique challenges for landscaping. As water conservation becomes increasingly important, selecting drought-tolerant trees is a smart choice for sustainable gardening. In this blog, we’ll explore three of the best drought-tolerant trees for the Okanagan region, along with tips on how to water them effectively.

1. Ponderosa Pine
(Pinus ponderosa)

Characteristics: The Ponderosa Pine is a majestic, towering tree that is well-adapted to the dry conditions of the Okanagan. Known for its thick, scaly bark and long, slender needles, it not only provides substantial shade but also adds a robust, rustic charm to any landscape. Its deep root system allows it to access water from deeper soil layers, enhancing its drought tolerance.

Ideal for: Large yards, parks, and naturalized areas where it can grow without constraints.

Watering Recommendations:

• Establishment Phase: For the first few years after planting, water your Ponderosa Pine deeply once a week during the hottest months to encourage deep root growth. Each watering session should moisten the soil to a depth of about 12-18 inches.

Mature Trees: Once established, Ponderosa Pines require minimal additional watering. Natural rainfall in the Okanagan is typically sufficient, but during prolonged dry spells, monthly deep watering may be beneficial.

2. Blue Atlas Cedar
(Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca’)

Characteristics: The Blue Atlas Cedar is a striking tree with silvery-blue needles and a dramatic, spreading form. This cedar is not only a visual standout but also highly resistant to drought once established. It thrives in full sun, reflecting heat with its shimmering needles, which helps it conserve moisture.

Ideal for: Accentuating corners of large properties, focal points in garden designs, or alongside driveways where it can grow without obstructing views.

Watering Recommendations:

• Establishment Phase: During the first growing season, water the tree weekly, ensuring that water reaches 8-10 inches deep to foster a strong root system. In the hottest parts of summer, additional watering may be needed.

Mature Trees: After the first year or two, gradually reduce watering frequency. Mature Blue Atlas Cedars are very drought tolerant and generally require watering only during extended periods of drought. Checking the soil moisture periodically can help guide whether additional watering is needed.

3. Kentucky Coffee Tree
(Gymnocladus dioicus)

Characteristics: The Kentucky Coffee Tree is a unique and underused landscape tree with rough bark and large, compound leaves that provide dappled shade. This tree is particularly noted for its tolerance to a wide range of soil types, including dry, compacted, and alkaline soils. It loses its leaves early in the fall, which minimizes water loss during the critical late summer months.

Ideal for: Urban gardens, street plantings, and open landscapes where its distinct form and leaf texture can be appreciated.

Watering Recommendations:

• Establishment Phase: Water every 7 to 10 days during the first growing season. Ensure that each watering saturates the soil to at least 10 inches deep, promoting good root development.

Mature Trees: Kentucky Coffee Trees are extremely drought-resistant once established. Watering once a month during extremely dry conditions can support tree health, but often, this tree will thrive on rainfall alone, requiring no additional irrigation.

Thrive Under the Region’s Arid Conditions

Choosing drought-tolerant trees for your Okanagan property not only conserves water but also ensures that your landscape can thrive under the region’s arid conditions. The Ponderosa Pine, Blue Atlas Cedar, and Kentucky Coffee Tree each offer unique aesthetic qualities and practical benefits, making them excellent choices for both ornamental and functional uses in dry climates. By understanding and implementing the right watering practices, you can support these trees in their younger years and watch them grow into resilient, mature specimens that enhance your landscape while aligning with sustainable gardening practices.

Remember, even drought-tolerant species need careful attention during their establishment phase. Proper early care ensures that these trees develop a robust root system capable of withstanding the dry conditions characteristic of the Okanagan Valley. Happy planting and enjoy the beauty and benefits of these remarkable trees in your sustainable garden.

What is Wildfire Resilience

The ability to withstand wildfires and their negative effects is referred to as “wildfire resilience.” It includes a variety of tactics and strategies meant to lessen the negative impact on populated communities’ susceptibility to wildfires and lessen the damaging effects of these natural occurrences.

Kelowna’s Susceptibility To Wildfires

The City of Kelowna, though a beautiful lakeside city, is unfortunately susceptible to wildfires. Kelowna and most of the Okanagan Valley, which are situated in close proximity to coniferous forests and grasslands, are at greater risk because wildfires are able to spread from these natural areas into populated areas. Coniferous forests, or chaparral, are more susceptible to wildfires. Accumulated dead and dry vegetation, referred to as “fuel,” feeds wildfires. In addition to Kelowna’s proximity to forests and grasslands, the city’s summer weather is hot and dry. These extended periods of drought, usually experienced every summer, create the environment in which wildfires occur.

Why are Wildfire’s Necessary for Forests

In many forest ecologies, wildfires are a crucial ecological event essential to the lifecycle of forested areas. Wildfires play a number of crucial roles in preserving the wellbeing and operation of these ecosystems. Wildfires remove dead vegetation and overgrown underbrush and manage disease and pest outbreaks. They aid in the renewal and rejuvenation of forests, which allows for new growth to occur.

Fires return organic debris and nutrients held in plants to the soil. Because it refills the soil with key nutrients that enable plant growth, this nutrient cycling is essential for the wellbeing of forest ecosystems.

With dead vegetation and overgrown underbrush removed, wildfires lessen competition for resources like sunshine, water, and nutrients among the remaining trees and result in stronger, healthier forest stands. However, wildfires become a problem when they pose a threat to or pose dangerous risks to human communities.

Improving Wildfire Resilience on Your Property

Manage your property by first identifying ignition zones. Ignition zones are specific areas around a property that are evaluated for their vulnerability to ignition during a wildfire. Managing ignition zones is a critical aspect of wildfire resilience, as it involves implementing measures to reduce the risk of a wildfire starting on or spreading to your property. Ignition zones are categorised into three zones, each with its own set of recommendations for mitigation:

Zone 1: Immediate Zone 0-1.5 Metres

• This is the area closest to your home, typically within 0 to 1.5 metres from structures.
• The focus in this zone is to create a “defensible space” that is highly resistant to ignition.
• Completely remove dead vegetation, brush, trees, leaves, and any other potential fuels for wildfire.
• Use non-combustible materials for landscaping and building features.
• Ensure proper spacing between trees and shrubs to prevent fire from spreading from vegetation to structures.
• Remove coniferous trees in this zone.

Zone 2: Intermediate Zone 1.5–10 Metres

• This area extends from 1.5 to 10 metres out from structures.
• Reduce the density of vegetation, trees, and brush to slow the spread of fire.
• Create spacing between trees and shrubs to reduce the risk of crown fires.
• Maintain trees and shrubs through pruning and thinning.
• Consider using fire-resistant plants in your landscaping.
• Remove coniferous trees, and instead plant deciduous (leafy) trees, which are more resistant to wildfires.

Zone 3: Extended Zone 10–30 Metres

• This is the area from 10 to 30 metres from structures.
• Focus on creating a well-maintained landscape that reduces the overall fuel load.
• Thin and space trees to prevent the spread of fire and promote healthier forest stands.
• Remove all dead and diseased trees.
• Maintain a fire-resistant perimeter by mowing grass and clearing brush, reducing dense underbrush.

The Impact of Winter Storms on Trees

Heavy snowfall can burden even the healthiest of trees, causing branches to snap under the weight. High winds, which often accompany winter storms, can wreak havoc by breaking limbs, stripping bark, or even toppling entire trees.

Common issues seen after winter storms in Kelowna include:

• Fallen Branches and Limbs: Snow and ice accumulate on branches, weighing them down until they snap.
• Uprooted Trees: Saturated or frozen ground combined with strong winds can destabilize root systems, causing trees to fall.
• Hanging Branches (“Widowmakers”): Broken branches that remain lodged in trees pose a serious safety hazard, as they can fall without warning.
• Damaged Tree Structures: Splits, cracks, or broken trunks can destabilize trees, making them unsafe to leave standing.

These hazards can damage homes, vehicles, and power lines, as well as create dangerous conditions for people walking near or beneath damaged trees. Addressing these issues promptly is essential, but storm cleanup is no small task, especially when dealing with large trees or debris in hard-to-reach areas.
