Oak Tree Resuscitation with Soil Biology
One of our projects has been at a private residence in San Jose. One of the problems at this location was the poor health of the oak trees. One of the trees was rescued from a development site and transplanted at the residence. It had been in the landscape for about 7 years and had not been doing very well when we were called. We weren't sure if we'd be able to help because it looked bad, but we did some work restoring the right microbiology to the root zone of the tree. The first treatment was made in November of 2008. Here's a picture of the tree in January of 2009.
The tree was looking pretty sparse. When we talked to the homeowner in March, we were told they were giving up and the tree was going to be removed. To our pleasant surprise on a visit in July, the tree was still there.
It was filling in nicely even thought it still needs some recovery time. We applied a second treatment in December of 2009 and expect continued progress.
As further example of how the tree improved. The photo below shows how the leaves looked in January of 2009. The brown tips are a clear showing the tree is not happy.
Again in July of 2009. We can see the tree is much happier. It had acorns for the first time since we had been working at the property.
