Big Banks Cutting Back on Small Businesses

Working with a local bank who cares about small businesses.

In our experience, large corporate banks have been turning their backs on small businesses in favor of PPP loans. These banks are only seeing small businesses as a number, it doesn’t matter how long they’ve been in business or the relationship between organizations. 


Due to big banking organizations cutting out small businesses and taking away opportunities for growth, 4 Seasons Arborscapes fired their big bank and opted to go with a local bank, Phoenixville Federal Bank & Trust.


Phoenixville Federal Bank & Trust opened its first office building in the borough of Phoenixville in 1939. They now have locations in Royersford, Collegeville, Kimberton, and Limerick. They are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities they serve.


4 Seasons Arborscapes believes in the power of giving back – not only to those close to our hearts, but also to those in our community in need of support. As our business grows and evolves, we need a banking partner that will be by our side to support us, just as we support those in our community.

Southern live oak with hanging Spanish moss, bright sky in the background.
By Erika Kern August 27, 2025
With its long, twisted branches full of greenish-white strands of moss, its wide, massive trunk, and longstanding ecological and economic value, the southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) should be revered as one of the most characteristic trees native to the southeastern United States.

When you picture a cactus, do you imagine sprawling deserts and sizzling heat? Scrubby brush and expansive skies, maybe even a mountain or a sand dune in the background? Probably. What about Pennsylvania’s rolling hills and temperate climate? ...me neither. But tucked into dry, sunny spots across the keystone state grows a surprising native: the e astern prickly pear ( Opuntia humifusa ), Pennsylvania’s only native cactus.

August heat can be brutal. Even well-established trees can silently suffer from drought stress, which weakens their structure, slows growth, and makes them more vulnerable to disease, pests, and storm damage. But the good news? If you catch the signs early, you can often save the tree and avoid costly removal.
A tree with lots of green fruits and leaves
July 17, 2025
If you’ve ever stumbled across a large, wrinkled green fruit that looks like a brain and drops with a heavy thud in late summer, you’ve likely encountered the Osage orange tree (Maclura pomifera). Despite the name, this tree isn’t related to citrus.
A large building with a tree in front of it.

We could have had shady, fruit-bearing trees and breathable air. Instead, we got pollen-bombing forests of sterile male trees — all because someone didn’t want to sweep. Thanks, urban planning.
