Tree Care in Mina, SD

If you're looking at the trees in your Mina yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Many of the problems we see here, like a silver maple dropping large limbs or a Siberian elm looking sparse, started decades ago when the tree was planted. Builders in the 1980s often chose fast-growing species for quick shade, but silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Siberian elms are prone to breakage. These trees are now mature, around 45 years old, and showing their age in our specific climate. Our cold winters, with lows near 2°F, and high drought risk put extra stress on them. The native trees that do well here, like the sturdy Bur Oak and Sugar Maple, were often passed over for those faster options.
