Local Ecology and Tree Care in Albany

KD Tree Services tailors its care to local species, including:

• Sugar Maple: State tree of New York, prone to fungal infections.
  
  
• Eastern White Pine: Vulnerable to storm breakage.
  
  
• Oak Varieties: Strong but susceptible to oak wilt disease.
  
  
• American Elm: Once iconic in Albany, now reduced by Dutch elm disease.
