Local tree context

What do Rancho San Diego trees need?

East County trees take a beating. Triple-digit summer heat, drought stress, and active beetle pressure on both oaks and pines. Mature ficus and pepper trees drop brittle limbs in wind. Defensible-space clearance and hazard-tree removal are regular work from El Cajon to Lakeside to the rural acreage further east. Most jobs need a clear head about which trees can be saved and which need to come out.
