Wheat Ridge Tree Programs
Wheat Ridge Forestry Department is responsible for caring for and maintaining all trees on city-owned property, including parks, open space, public spaces, and right-of-ways. Trees are a significant part of the Wheat Ridge urban environment, providing beauty, shade, and ambiance. Click here for more information about the City of Wheat Ridge’s tree programs.
Emerald Ash Borer
Unfortunately, the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) arrived in Wheat Ridge in 2024, and the beetle continues to spread throughout the City. The time to act is now because Ash has no immunity to the EAB. In about two years, untreated trees will start to show signs of EAB damage and will most likely require removal. Wheat Ridge’s forester expects all property owners to manage and treat their Ash yard trees. Check out the Ross Tree EAB Handbook to understand your treatment options.

Deep Root Feeding
Ross Tree now offers a new tree health care program called Tri-Level Tree Fertilization that better fits trees’ seasonal needs. Since trees are not native to the Denver area, it makes sense that they might need some extra care to thrive here. We are moving to deep root feeding three times a year versus two because Denver’s growing season is getting longer, and we are seeing more tree insects and unique weather events.
Ips Engraver Beetle Outbreak in Denver
Ips Beetles are native to Colorado and are now on the move in the Denver area. Their larvae damage spruce and pine trees, so the best time to treat is when the adult males become active in April and May each year. They typically bore into weakened trees to form mating galleries. However, Ips will attack healthy trees in large outbreaks.
Ross Tree is a locally owned and licensed Denver tree company that has been in business since 1978. We offer proactive tree pruning, tree insect control, and plant health care services. Why not call a licensed, insured, trusted tree company with an A+ BBB rating?
