Clovis's Expert Arborists

Clovis’s Tree Challenges

Clovis yards lean on London plane, crape myrtle, and Chinese pistache for shade, all of which need real structural pruning while young to avoid the weak branch unions that fail later once a tree reaches full size. Established trees face the same mistletoe and wood boring beetles as the rest of Fresno County, while newer plantings are more exposed to heat and drought scorch until their root systems mature enough to handle a full valley summer on their own. Extreme summer heat, drought, and winter flooding on slow draining hardpan soil make timing the biggest variable in whether a young Clovis tree thrives or declines over its first decade in the ground. An expert arborist reads the cause, not just the symptom, before any saw fires up, and can set a pruning schedule that gets a young tree through its most vulnerable years.
