Tree Scouts Arborist Levi Williams Featured in Real Simple

Tree Scouts is proud to share that our lead arborist Levi Williams has been cited as an expert source by Real Simple, one of the largest home and lifestyle publications in the country. The article, Fruit Trees That Thrive in Cold Climates, features Levi's guidance on choosing hardy fruit trees and links readers directly to his arborist profile here at Tree Scouts.

This marks the tenth time a national publication or industry journal has turned to a Tree Scouts arborist for expert insight. Levi has now been cited by Real Simple, Martha Stewart across four separate articles, Homes & Gardens, The Spruce, Family Handyman, and ArborTimes, the tree care industry's professional journal. Co-owner Erek Flynn has also appeared live on FOX 7 Austin sharing spring tree care guidance for Central Texas homeowners.

Why editors keep calling

When a national editorial team needs tree care guidance their readers can trust, they look for real credentials. Levi is an ISA Certified Arborist (#TX-4955A), holds the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), the ISA Wildfire Risk Reduction Qualification (WRRQ), a Texas Pesticide Applicator License, and an Urban Forestry certification. Those are the same qualifications he brings to every driveway consultation in Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park, and Austin.

Fruit trees have become something of a specialty in this press run. Between peach tree care for Homes & Gardens, fruit tree pruning timing for Martha Stewart, and now cold-hardy fruit tree selection for Real Simple, Levi has quietly become one of the most cited arborists in the country on backyard fruit trees.
