Coast live oaks, pines, and redwoods in the Bay Area respond to fire mimicry

Today I inspected several oaks, pines, and redwood trees that have received fire mimicry treatments in recent years. The coast live oak above has been treated periodically for 8 years. The results shown above and below provide encouraging news about our ability to bring sick and diseased trees back to health using an ecological approach to tree care.

Results with eucalyptus and various fruit trees

Last year I began fire mimicry treatments on several eucalyptus trees in Big Sur, CA and assorted fruit trees in Davis, CA. I recently checked on them and it sure seems that these trees fancy the care we gave them. Enjoy!
