The 2026 Plant Health Care Roadmap: Moving from Reactive to Proactive
Published January 9, 2026
As we begin the new year, many mountain residents are reconsidering how they manage their landscapes. For too long, the standard approach has been reactive, only calling an arborist once a tree is already in decline or a pest infestation has become visible. In the Colorado Rockies where the growing season is remarkably short, a proactive Plant Health Care strategy is the only way to ensure your trees and shrubs remain healthy enough to withstand the environmental stresses of high altitude living.
Earth-Wise Horticultural offers comprehensive Plant Health Care programs that protect your landscape through every seasonal shift.
