Tree Care Tips from a Professional Arborist
Pruning for Health and Beauty: A Cut Above
Pruning is essential for maintaining a tree's health, shape, and structural integrity. Prune in late winter or early spring when the tree is dormant. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and thin out overcrowded areas to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration.
Fertilizing with Caution: Nourishing but Not Overdoing It
Fertilize young trees annually to encourage growth. Mature trees typically need less fertilizer. Always follow the fertilizer instructions carefully, as over-fertilizing can harm the tree.
Protecting Against Pests and Diseases: Staying Vigilant
Regularly inspect your trees for signs of pests or diseases. Early detection is key to preventing serious problems. If you notice anything unusual, consult a certified arborist for diagnosis and treatment options.
Tree Care Throughout the Seasons: A Year-Round Commitment
Tree care is a year-round endeavor. Here's a quick guide to seasonal tasks:
Spring: Prune, fertilize, mulch, and water as needed.
Summer: Monitor for pests and diseases, water during dry periods.
Fall: Continue to water as needed, rake up fallen leaves if they become excessive.
Winter: Protect young trees from frost damage, prune while dormant.
