Expert Tree Care Specialists Serving Gilbert, Arizona

David Scalise

Arborist

I was raised with a strong appreciation of the outdoors. I grew up in a very active family of hikers, rock climbers, snow skiers, and sailors. Not only that, but I started hiking the White Mountains of New Hampshire at the age of 5, and trees have always been a big part of my life.

As a boy, I was very interested in trees: climbing them, drawing pictures of them, building and creating art with their fallen limbs, speaking to and for them, as well as planting them and helping them grow.

I attended Auburn University, where I achieved a bachelor’s degree in horticulture.

Professional Journey & Experience

After graduating from Auburn University, I worked at Monrovia Nursery in Oregon & Southern California. Monrovia is the largest privately held nursery grower in the United States.

I then took a position with Bartlett Tree Experts in Marin County, North of San Francisco. In 2001 I became a certified arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture. In 2002, I moved to Arizona to manage Bartlett’s Arizona operations.

I started Power Ranch Arborists in 2007. I am very passionate about the proper care of our Arizona trees. We can grow trees & plants in Arizona that are from many other regions, provided that they are properly planted and receive proper irrigation, fertilization, and pruning.
