<p>White Oaks are slow growers, but I am getting some great new growth on this young White Oak that I planted last year in my backyard.  It is fun to keep eye on how much these young trees grow.  I am comparing my White Oak with my young Black Gum tree &#8211; so far the Gum is winning!  I probably could have guessed that.  A picture of the Gum tree to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took this picture last week, it is a great representation of new growth on a Spruce Tree that I took when on a walk.  Look around, many trees are now showing their new growth towards the end of the shoots, usually lighter green than the rest of the limb.  It is especially fun to look at young trees, and even measure the new growth each year.  Comparing the annual growth is a good way to see how your young tree is developing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear JL Staff and crews:</p>
<p>Many thanks for the professional and courteous way you handled the removal of the large Oak Tree in my front yard, the grinding of same, and the additional trimming of bushes and trees.</p>
<p>I can always count on JL and you as individuals to get the job done in a timely and beautiful manner.</p>
<p>I do appreciate all of your assistance over the years, and have no doubts there&#8217;s more to come. In fact, two of my neighbors haven gotten your company name and phone number, and plan on calling you soon for yard work at their home.</p>
<p>My regards and thanks to you all,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Customer City : Montclair, VA</p>
<p>Rate Experience : A &#8211; Excellent</p>
<p>Service Performed :  Pruning</p>
<p>Rate Quality Of Service : A &#8211; Excellent</p>
<p>Please Explain : Your emplyees were prompt, courteous, and they delivered exactly what was agreed upon by contract. They did an exellent job in pruning and shaping the huge maple tree in our front yard. They were careful not to cause any damage to our grass and driveway, by parking their two large trucks on the road. All debris was removed after the work was completed. Finally, your employees made sure that I was well satisfied with their work before they secured the bucket.</p>
<p>Rate Professional Level : A &#8211; Excellent</p>
<p>Services Again : Yes</p>
<p>Other Comments : Manuel was very courteous. They worked hard, and the crew seemed to work well with one another. I think you should be proud of your workers and how well they represent your company. Jose was also very professional, and made a special effort to return to our home once a new contract was renegotiated. We are very well pleased. Thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We recently pruned Smoke Trees.  Using a bucket truck and pole clips, we selectively shaped the trees.  Smoke trees grow relatively quickly, especially if they are shaped each year or 2.  Pruning will need to be done if maintained this way.  Smoke trees have a beautiful burgundy color with round leaves.  They can be considered a bush, but many refer to them as small trees.  When planted with azaleas, it can provide for a gorgeous landscape in the Spring season!  Thought I would share!</p>
