Tree Care in Ephraim, WI

If you're looking at the trees on your Ephraim property and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Many of the mature trees here were planted when homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, and the choices made then are showing their age. Fast-growing species like silver maple were popular for quick shade, but their weak wood and aggressive roots now cause problems. You'll also see green ash, which is highly vulnerable to the emerald ash borer. The native bur oaks and sugar maples you see in the peninsula's forests are often the healthier, longer-lived trees in comparison. The challenge is that a tree can look fine on the outside while hiding significant decay inside, a problem that can start years before any visible symptoms appear.
