Tree Care in North Star, DE

In North Star, your trees are about 38 years old, planted when the neighborhoods were built. That means your red oaks and sugar maples are entering a mature phase where their structure is set, but so are their weaknesses. We see a lot of included bark unions from that era, especially in silver maples and Norway maples planted as quick shade. These weak branch attachments are a primary failure point in our wind storms. With over 23 storm events a year, and our mixed-humid climate keeping soils saturated, a sustained wind followed by a sudden shift can fatigue these weak unions and cause major limb loss or uprooting.
