Work in progress, climber in “white circle” to give a size relation

Working in Palmetto United Futbol Club’s  80+ year old Willow Oak. PUFC is home to Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Clover, Lake Wylie, Indian Land and York County, South Carolina soccer players.

Taming a large oak like this takes artistic ground coordination, a crafted climber/pruner and a solid ground crew to accomplish a task of this magnitude.

Brothers Dave Tally (Niwaki Tree and Shrub Care) and Mark Tally (Shrub Doctor) double teamed this monster with deep root fertilization and selective pruning.

Proper crown cleaning on an 80 year old Oak

Fertilization and pruning are the two most important elements of plant health. It does not matter if it is a 80 year old towering oak or a 2 foot shrub in you landscape, Proper pruning and organic feeding has the same outcome… a strong and healthy plant!
