Property owner's typically have a "love-hate relationship" with the Scrub Oak (Gambel oak) on their land.  It provides privacy and beautiful fall foliage, as it's one of the few trees in Colorado that turns red in the fall.  On the other hand, Scrub oak is one of the most flammable and invasive types of foliage.  The oil in the leaves burns extremely hot and can spread to nearby conifer trees, turning into a raging crown fire and potentially reaching it's flames to homes.   When you hire the experts at Ace Tree Care, we'll discuss in detail what you like and dislike about your scrub oak.
