Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can often be considered approved however intense weather condition can take its toll. It is very important to keep trees healthy and try to avoid diseases or weather damage.
One of the first things you can do is learn more about the trees you wish to take care of and their particular needs. If you’re not sure about the kind of tree you have, there are many resources online to help you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When investigating trees, the main things to keep an eye out for are:
- Kind of soil needed
- Amount of water needed
- Specific sensitivities (dry spell, water, wind, etc).
As soon as you know more about your trees, follow these 5 tips to keep your trees resilient 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 area where roots are more delicate. The secret is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep taking in water and oxygen.
Safeguard the bark.
Think of the bark as an armour that safeguards the tree. Securing the tree bark will prevent infections, diseases or insect activity. Look out for possible threats that might damage tree bark, including:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from tall vehicles. Get rid of lower branches to prevent breakage and make sure trees are visible during the night.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that repetitively strikes bark at the very same place can trigger damage. If you utilize sprinklers to water your lawn, make certain these don’t directly hit trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing against each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches correctly so branches don’t get braided.
- Lawn equipment: wear; t get yard equipment near the tree trunks as this can trigger serious damage to the bark.
Water effectively.
Trees usually prosper well in existing wetness conditions and don’t need any additional watering. However, depending on your local climate, you might need to water your trees during extended periods of dry spell. If you do have to water trees in the summertime, a periodic deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter trees shouldn’t need any watering.
Prune correctly.
We’ve formerly discussed pruning trees as it’s an essential part of tree upkeep. It’s something you can do yourself if you know exactly what you are doing, otherwise you can constantly employ an expert. The main points to watch out for are:.
- Crossing branches: eliminate the smaller branch so the more powerful one can grow without being damaged.
- Broken and dead branches: a tidy cut will help the tree heal.
Low branches: eliminate branches that are low and are vulnerable to damage (i.e. by an effect). You can also remove low branches for visual functions.
Keep soil healthy.
There are two ways you can ensure that the soil around your tree is abundant in nutrients.
- Usage mulch. Spread out a layer of mulch around your tree, about 2 to 4 inches thick. The mulch does not need to touch the trunk.
- Plant turf or some kind of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enhance the soil. Make sure your plants can flourish in the shade and that their roots don’t compete with the tree.
