The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide For Your Favorite Trees & Shrubs

Resources: Community

plant health care treatments are the best Christmas or holiday presents you can give this year

Are you anxiously counting down how many more days or weeks there are until the holidays? Are you on the hunt for the perfect Christmas or holiday presents for your loved ones?

There is a lot involved in the art of giving gifts. If you’re scrambling your mind to figure out how or what to give your friends and family this year, then you’re definitely not alone.

But what about the friends and family you have in your landscape – your trees and shrubs? Your plants can participate in the holiday gift exchange too! Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a gift guide of plant health care treatments so you can spoil your trees and shrubs this holiday season (and help make your shopping adventure a little bit easier!). 

Looking to give a gift to a human loved one? Call us today at 703.573.3029 to reserve appointments and purchase tree care services for your loved ones’ leafy friends.

For Your Older Trees That Have Seen It All

  • Borer Treatments: Tree borers are currently on the search for trees to bore into. You can help your older trees prevent borer infestation by gifting them with a borer spray treatment, before they’re found and infested this winter.
  • Tree Growth Regulator (TGR): As much as you would like them to, big trees can’t easily control their growth. They have little choice in crowding into your deck, window, or powerlines. Gifting your big trees with a TGR this year will almost seem like a selfish present because while it enhances their development and promotes optimal health for them, it also saves you time, energy and money through benefits like less frequent needs for tree trimming!  
  • Tree Trimming Service: If your trees do need trimming, there is no better time of the year than now. Your trees will appreciate the gift as the work will be much more precise, clean, and complete. Any structural defects they’re currently dealing with will be found and dealt with appropriately; they’ll thank you for your wise choice!

For Your Superb Shrubs & Ornamentals

  • Shrub Growth Regulator: Your shrubs are vastly aware of the attention they grab from visitors and neighbors (after all, they’re directly in the line of sight). You can keep them looking and feeling good by supplying them with a Shrub Growth Regulator this holiday season. Less stress, better health, and greener leaves for a longer time – who would say no to a gift like that?
  • Shrub Trimming Service: The first part of the present is remembering to say no to shearing – it stresses the shrub and makes it look unnatural! Through pruning and its innate selective thinning technique, your shrub can get rid of unhealthy plant, maintain or improve health, and stay happily supporting and decorating your landscape long-term.
  • Canopy Protection Program: Our Canopy Protection Program is the ultimate proactive approach to preventatively caring for your shrubs & ornamentals. Your leafy friends will love the boost in protection, safety, appearance, and general health. Through a customized plan and scheduled monitoring and maintenance by our Certified Arborists, your shrubs and ornamental trees will be grateful for the extensive care.

For Your Evergreens That Are There For You Every Day

  • Dormant oil spray: Just like you, your Evergreen trees aren’t a big fan of bugs. You can keep your Evergreens healthy and away from overwintering insects by treating them with a dormant oil spray. After the application, they’ll be better protected against the not-so-pretty aftermath the tree bugs can bring. This means less suffering for them.
  • Winter Protection Program: Your Evergreens are anxiously awaiting the dry air and wind that will inevitably sweep across the area in the upcoming months. In the winter season, their roots need to exert more energy into saving their leaves and needles from browning and dying. You can assist their root systems and get rid of the destructive cycle by treating them with anti-desiccants – that way they won’t have to wait in fear of winter burn!

Not sure which treatment is best? Biostimulants are the master gift – the all-natural plant multivitamin is great for all trees! The organic treatment is one of the top recommendations by our Certified Arborists, as it will nourish your plant, boost its immune system, and keep it flourishing.

Giving gifts can be fun – your plants would love to be part of the experience with you!

We have been using RTEC for years and were very pleased with the recent tree maintenance work they did for us. As always, we got good advice from their arborist Ben,. The crew that did the work is highly skilled, and they did a great job trimming our trees. They worked safely and efficiently, in addition to leaving the yard clean after they finished the work.

RTEC was at my house today to removed a large Magnolia that was badly damaged by the recent snow. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently and quickly and cleaned up so well it was hard to tell anything have been disturbed. Over the past several years, I have used RTEC for all the services I checked above, and have always been very pleased with their service and professionalism. I also appreciate that they are not eager to take down trees that don't need to come down. In this case, the damage was too extensive for the tree to recover.

Once again, RTEC has done a great job. The team showed up right on time and performed all the work that we agreed to. They kept us informed as to progress, coordinated with us concerning our maple, and made recommendations concerning ongoing support for our trees. At the end of the day, they thoroughly cleaned up the debris and left our yard in pristine condition. WELL DONE.

Not our first time but this time was tricky removal of a large dead tree leaning on a healthy tree. Quick response for estimate, good timing to removal, all clear and healthy tree still fine.

We’ve used RTEC for many years for tree maintenance and can’t say enough good things about their service. We use them for tree trimming and for regular treatments to maintain our trees’ health and deal with pests and prevent disease. Their arborist Ben has been especially helpful with advice. RTEC also been especially helpful in emergency situations, once coming to cable a massive, heritage oak in our yard right before a hurricane was about to hit. Highly recommend.

RTEC did an excellent job onsite of removing dead branches from our 80+ year old trees, and trimming other growth too close to our home.
