Drought conditions from the summer have caused potential long-term effects on your trees if left untreated. If you have noticed browning leaves or dieback of branches, it might be time for some tree care treatment.
Check out what Kevin Caldwell has to say about important Fall Seasonal Tips for these issues in this new video.
Have you noticed that the leaves on your Okame Cherry Tree have turned yellow and fallen? If so, your tree may be showing signs of infestation or disease.
Repeated defoliation makes the tree more vulnerable to winter injury and may eventually kill it.
In this new video, Kevin Caldwell, owner of Caldwell Tree Care, explains how the Fall Seasonal Issues of Drought and Leaf Spot Disease have caused an Okame Cherry Tree to lose its leaves abnormally early. He also mentions Shot Hole Disease as another issue that negatively affects the trees. He concludes by sharing solutions and treatments Caldwell Tree Care offers to prevent these issues.
Check out Caldwell Tree Care in this new video as they donate their services to Fulton Science Academy Middle School. Kevin Caldwell and his crew remove some dangerous trees and limbs in the school’s front lawn. Not only does this make the area much safer, but it also improve the aesthetics of the property.
The Southern Pine Beetle
Who knew this small critter, ranging from 2-7 millimeters in length, could create so much damage to a tree?
…..
Infested Pine Tree

Needles become a yellowish color, then change to red, and become brown within 1 to 2 months.
The southern pine beetles are the most destructive insects to pines in Georgia. Throughout the state, the damage caused by pine bark beetles can cost as much as $25 million per year. Pine Bark Beetles can kill a pine in just a few days by chewing their way through the phloem tissue under the bark, cutting off the tree’s flow of moisture and nourishment. They generally target pines that have been weakened from a constant drought, disease, or smog.
Kevin Caldwell, owner of Caldwell Tree care suggests a few tips and services offered to prevent infestations of these beetles. Take a look at this video to hear what he has to say.
Every year Caldwell Tree Care provides in-kind services to a number of community projects. Already this year we’ve provided $2500 in services to support Walton High School, in Marietta, Georgia. Walton is close to our hearts as Kevin Caldwell graduated from Walton, and Arborist Sam Bradley is a Walton Raider parent volunteer. Friday night is Homecoming, so we’d like to do something special.
Sam and Jade Bowes will be at the game showing off our new truck. Come by, say hello, ask Sam questions, and get your picture taken by the truck. We will upload those pictures to our Facebook page. For every person that Tags their picture, Caldwell Tree Care will add $25 more of in-kind services to our Walton High School efforts for a maximum of $2500. If you can’t stop by and “Like” our page, that will count too. And, one lucky person will receive an at-home consultation by a certified Arborist and free deep root fertilization service up to 5000 sq feet* worth $250.
Go Walton Raiders!
