Questionable tree .doctors,
who not only take citizens tor
tremendous amounts of money
but may harm trees, are being
reported from across the state.
Unfortunately these so-called
tree doctors also give reputable
silviculturists a bad name
These operators usually claim
that they have secret formulas
that will cure ailing trees of all
problems. He may drive nails
into the tree or spreas some
“revltaUzer around them.
When asked about his cure-all,
he usually explains that it u so
new that research has not heard
about it as yet.
Your county agricultural
agent should be consulted to
diagnose the tree a ailment be-
fore bargaining with people that
make such claims. It Is also
advisable for the home -owner to
toqulre about the operator s
qualifications to work on trees.
Most of the questionable opera-
tors usually have no formal
tratolng 4 tree care or plant
pathology. The reputable ones
are always glad to give their
background and qualifications
and are wllltog to back-up their
claims with scientific data.
Home-owners are reminded
that there are no miracle cures
