"This was our first time using Eric and his team. I highly recommend. For me, having an Arborist background instead of practical experience was a huge win in this case. For example, our prior tree experts made some aggressive cuts to our Oaks, and we were in danger of losing them and did not know it was happening. Eric did a detailed evaluation, and treatment plan for us and his team. The team that arrived to do the work also had someone with a strong Arborist background supervising the work. It really does matter ! That is what sets this company out above and beyond. They listen to you, advise, and make sure you are onboard with their approach to the work required, are friendly, and professional. They want to make sure all your questions are resolved. I’m constantly reminded by family members in real estate, it is not only the quality of your house - your landscaping and trees are a big part of the story. Can’t go wrong with this team."

"We had a great experience working with Wilder Tree Company. From the initial estimate to the completion of the project, communication with Drake was easy and efficient. He was not only professional but also very knowledgeable. The arborist, David, remained onsite throughout the project. The team did a great job and the cleanup was thorough and complete."

"Eric and team were great to work with. They were reasonable on price and quality of work was great. If you are considering tree work from a legitimate company this is the place to go. Price was much less than Davey Tree and work was done 10x better than a normal lawn guy crew could do."

"We recently used Wilder to trim some trees away from the house. They were responsive, on-time, polite and efficient. The work was done as promised and when they left you wouldn't have known they were even in the backyard."

"Wilder Tree Company trimmed a fallen branch on a heritage pecan tree in my front yard. They also trimmed the tree from previous storm damage in order preserve the tree and maintain its health while giving me tips on how to appropriately care and manage the health of the tree in the future."

"I wish I had before and after pictures of our property to share here, but trust me when I say what a beautiful difference Eric and his crew made in our yard. The crew was professional in their trimming and very thorough in their cleanup. Eric himself is so incredibly knowledgeable regarding tree growth patterns and how the overall tree structure affects its future strength. He developed a strategic plan to selectively prune several of our two-trunked trees over the course of the next five years to maintain and improve their integrity and prevent property destruction by falling branches. He was also able to identify hypoxylon cankers on two of our red oaks and, in addition to removing the affected limbs, recommended a microbial tea that he makes in-house to improve the trees' health and immunity against hypoxylon, oak wilt, and other stressors. In case you don't know this already, soil health and diversity is the key to happy plants, so I really appreciate an arborist who recognizes soil quality's impact on trees, too! I highly recommend Eric and his team at Wilder Tree Company and have been singing their praises to everyone I know. Now you know, too!"

"WILDER TREE COMPANY IN AUSTIN, TX AREA In November 2024, we made the decision to have a very old and large Mimosa tree removed. We called several local companies to get estimates. But as soon as we spoke with Eric Wilder of Wilder Tree Company, we stopped looking. Within 30 minutes he came to our house to look at the tree and gave us 2 estimates. In another 30 minutes his team were lined out and started to work. We were extremely satisfied with the professional manner in which Wilder Tree Company performed this job for us. Each member of the team was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional in every aspect of their work. We will definitely use Wilder Tree Company for all of our tree work in the future.

"This was our first time using Eric and his team. I highly recommend. For me, having an Arborist background instead of practical experience was a huge win in this case. For example, our prior tree experts made some aggressive cuts to our Oaks, and we were in danger of losing them and did not know it was happening. Eric did a detailed evaluation, and treatment plan for us and his team. The team that arrived to do the work also had someone with a strong Arborist background supervising the work. It really does matter ! That is what sets this company out above and beyond. They listen to you, advise, and make sure you are onboard with their approach to the work required, are friendly, and professional. They want to make sure all your questions are resolved. I’m constantly reminded by family members in real estate, it is not only the quality of your house - your landscaping and trees are a big part of the story. Can’t go wrong with this team."

"Eric and team were great to work with. They were reasonable on price and quality of work was great. If you are considering tree work from a legitimate company this is the place to go. Price was much less than Davey Tree and work was done 10x better than a normal lawn guy crew could do."

"WILDER TREE COMPANY IN AUSTIN, TX AREA In November 2024, we made the decision to have a very old and large Mimosa tree removed. We called several local companies to get estimates. But as soon as we spoke with Eric Wilder of Wilder Tree Company, we stopped looking. Within 30 minutes he came to our house to look at the tree and gave us 2 estimates. In another 30 minutes his team were lined out and started to work. We were extremely satisfied with the professional manner in which Wilder Tree Company performed this job for us. Each member of the team was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional in every aspect of their work. We will definitely use Wilder Tree Company for all of our tree work in the future.

"I wish I had before and after pictures of our property to share here, but trust me when I say what a beautiful difference Eric and his crew made in our yard. The crew was professional in their trimming and very thorough in their cleanup. Eric himself is so incredibly knowledgeable regarding tree growth patterns and how the overall tree structure affects its future strength. He developed a strategic plan to selectively prune several of our two-trunked trees over the course of the next five years to maintain and improve their integrity and prevent property destruction by falling branches. He was also able to identify hypoxylon cankers on two of our red oaks and, in addition to removing the affected limbs, recommended a microbial tea that he makes in-house to improve the trees' health and immunity against hypoxylon, oak wilt, and other stressors. In case you don't know this already, soil health and diversity is the key to happy plants, so I really appreciate an arborist who recognizes soil quality's impact on trees, too! I highly recommend Eric and his team at Wilder Tree Company and have been singing their praises to everyone I know. Now you know, too!"

"I wish I had before and after pictures of our property to share here, but trust me when I say what a beautiful difference Eric and his crew made in our yard. The crew was professional in their trimming and very thorough in their cleanup. Eric himself is so incredibly knowledgeable regarding tree growth patterns and how the overall tree structure affects its future strength. He developed a strategic plan to selectively prune several of our two-trunked trees over the course of the next five years to maintain and improve their integrity and prevent property destruction by falling branches. He was also able to identify hypoxylon cankers on two of our red oaks and, in addition to removing the affected limbs, recommended a microbial tea that he makes in-house to improve the trees' health and immunity against hypoxylon, oak wilt, and other stressors. In case you don't know this already, soil health and diversity is the key to happy plants, so I really appreciate an arborist who recognizes soil quality's impact on trees, too! I highly recommend Eric and his team at Wilder Tree Company and have been singing their praises to everyone I know. Now you know, too!"

"We had a great experience working with Wilder Tree Company. From the initial estimate to the completion of the project, communication with Drake was easy and efficient. He was not only professional but also very knowledgeable. The arborist, David, remained onsite throughout the project. The team did a great job and the cleanup was thorough and complete."

"This was our first time using Eric and his team. I highly recommend. For me, having an Arborist background instead of practical experience was a huge win in this case. For example, our prior tree experts made some aggressive cuts to our Oaks, and we were in danger of losing them and did not know it was happening. Eric did a detailed evaluation, and treatment plan for us and his team. The team that arrived to do the work also had someone with a strong Arborist background supervising the work. It really does matter ! That is what sets this company out above and beyond. They listen to you, advise, and make sure you are onboard with their approach to the work required, are friendly, and professional. They want to make sure all your questions are resolved. I’m constantly reminded by family members in real estate, it is not only the quality of your house - your landscaping and trees are a big part of the story. Can’t go wrong with this team."

"Eric and team were great to work with. They were reasonable on price and quality of work was great. If you are considering tree work from a legitimate company this is the place to go. Price was much less than Davey Tree and work was done 10x better than a normal lawn guy crew could do."

"WILDER TREE COMPANY IN AUSTIN, TX AREA In November 2024, we made the decision to have a very old and large Mimosa tree removed. We called several local companies to get estimates. But as soon as we spoke with Eric Wilder of Wilder Tree Company, we stopped looking. Within 30 minutes he came to our house to look at the tree and gave us 2 estimates. In another 30 minutes his team were lined out and started to work. We were extremely satisfied with the professional manner in which Wilder Tree Company performed this job for us. Each member of the team was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional in every aspect of their work. We will definitely use Wilder Tree Company for all of our tree work in the future. Thank you Wilder Team"

Why Are There Holes In My Tree And Will it Survive?

September 12, 2022

Think to yourself, how often do you notice a hole in a tree on your property? Many tree owners probably notice tree holes. Shocking right? Like many tree owners, you may feel that the things that you are noticing may be concerning.
Several trees may develop hollows (also known as holes) due to natural events such as storms, human interference, or sometimes even animals. These holes may not always be a cause for concern, but they will definitely change the appearance slightly and also attract pests.
Small holes that are caused by insects can go undetected but the large hole that is caused by storm damage or animals may be easier for you to spot. Let’s take a moment to dive deeper into some of the reasons as to why you may see holes in your trees and the probability of survival!

My Tree Has Holes But Why?

Weather, humans, and animals are the 3 main culprits of holes that you may see in your trees.
If you notice that your tree has small holes, then the most likely cause will be due to insects. Can you guess what causes those larger holes that you see? if you guessed weather or birds … you are correct!
Is a tree that has holes dangerous to my tree and, if so then what types of holes are those?

Holes… Are They A Problem For My Tree?

The one thing that you must note is that the size of the whole is very important to know.

It is said that smaller holes have a lesser impact on the health of the tree. This is even more true if the tree is strong, stable, and healthy. If you have a damaged tree due to decay, weather, infestation, or lack of nutrients, then these small unattractive holes may start to cause issues for your tree.

Larger holes, look like the tree has caved in on itself. A great example would be tree hollows. Hollows don’t necessarily mean that the tree is permanently damaged. They can be caused by unhealed holes, and new fresh tree bark coming in around the edges of the wound.

There is a small chance that a tree will fall if the amount of wood near the trunk is not enough to support the rest of the tree. Oftentimes, the wood that is dead may decay and living wood will remain which in turn gives the tree a true shot at survival even if it has a cavity.

The structural integrity of the tree will ultimately determine the life expectancy since they are resilient and can overcome damages caused by lack of water, infestations, and decay. Now don’t worry these all can be managed with no help from you.

So time to dig a bit deeper. Are you ready?

So Why Are There Holes?

1. Tapping For Sap.
Do you know where your syrup comes from? That right good ole trees. Many homeowners can tap their trees easily. When tapping a tree, The hole is usually not big enough to damage the tree as it is roughly 2 to 4 feet off the ground. This ensures that the bottom or base of the tree is not overwhelmed. The tap itself only goes in a few inches into the tree. If the tree is bored or tapped incorrectly then it may cause damage to your tree.

2. Holes From Insects That Like To Bore.

Just like birds that love to peck their way through your tree to find grub ( Insects), the insect’s crawl below the bark of the tree and into the wood.

Beetles, moths, wasps, and other species of insects are natural borers and may be causing some of those tiny tree holes. They are one of the reasons why having a tree protectant or insect killer or fertilizer will help to prevent damage.

Now let’s talk about the holes from birds like the woodpecker

3. The Woodpecker.

Did you know that these birds have impeccable hearing? Woodpeckers can hear insects that are under the bark and through the wood. These beautiful birdies use their super long beaks to tap through the wood to eat the bugs inside. Woodpeckers typically prefer healthy, solid bark and wood. But that is not all. They also seek out parts of the tree that have already seen decay because it becomes easier for them.

4. Winter Storms.

During a storm, tree branches are highly susceptible to being broken off which causes the most damage and a tree hole. When you think about a storm, strong winds and water thrashed the trees way that ends up creating a hole because of the intensity. When a branch is ripped off, The distress and size of the hole mean that your tree may take longer to recover. Don’t be surprised if the damage alone results in no recovery.

A tree can survive with holes but there has to be a good amount of structural integrity left. Ensure that there is secure and stable wood at the trunk of the tree. the trunk has to support the weight of the tree.

Sometimes a limb that has been ripped off due to a storm and decay will spread. On the upside, trees have a really good chance at survival even though they may have storm damage. You can ensure the tree will make strides during the recovery by spraying for insects and giving it fertilizer. Doing nothing will mark your tree for death for sure.

What Should I do… My Tree Has A Large Hole

Fill the hole if you can. Some people utilize cement as a common practice but you should know that this may cause problems later down the line. But something is better than nothing!
If you have this large ugly hole in your tree, You may be tempted to fill it to prevent excessive water damage. Before you do, understand that cement is not usually recommended because it causes more harm to the tree.
