Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can often be taken for given but intense weather can take its toll. It is essential to keep trees healthy and attempt to prevent illness or weather damage.
One of the very first things you can do is discover the trees you wish to care for and their particular requirements. If you’re not sure about the type of tree you have, there are numerous resources online to help you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When investigating trees, the main points to look out for are:
- Kind of soil needed
- Amount of water needed
- Particular sensitivities (drought, water, wind, etc).
Once you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 tips to keep your trees resistant and healthy.
Protect the roots.
Concentrate on the zone around a tree approximately where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone but this is the location where roots are more delicate. The key is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep soaking up water and oxygen.
Safeguard the bark.
Think about the bark as an armour that secures the tree. Protecting the tree bark will prevent infections, illness or insect activity. Look out for possible threats that could harm tree bark, including:.
- Vehicles: trees near roadways or driveways can suffer hits from high vehicles. Remove lower branches to prevent damage and make certain trees are visible at night.
- Sprinkler system: a spray of water that over and over again hits bark at the exact same location can trigger damage. If you utilize sprinklers to water your lawn, make sure these do not directly strike trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing against each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches properly so branches don’t get entwined.
- Yard devices: don; t get lawn devices near the tree trunks as this can cause major damage to the bark.
Water successfully.
Trees usually flourish well in existing wetness conditions and don’t require any extra watering. Nevertheless, depending upon your local climate, you might need to water your trees throughout extended durations of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summer season, a periodic deep watering is chosen to a frequent misting. In winter trees should not require any watering.
Prune correctly.
We’ve previously discussed pruning trees as it’s an essential part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you know what you are doing, otherwise you can constantly employ a professional. The main things to look out for are:.
- Crossing branches: remove the smaller branch so the stronger one can grow without being damaged.
- Broken and dead branches: a clean cut will help the tree heal.
Low branches: remove branches that are low and are susceptible to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can likewise get rid of low branches for aesthetic purposes.
Keep soil healthy.
There are 2 methods you can make certain that the soil around your tree is rich in nutrients.
- Use mulch. Spread a layer of mulch around your tree, about 2 to 4 inches thick. The mulch does not have to touch the trunk.
- Plant yard or some type of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enhance the soil. Ensure your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots don’t compete with the tree.
