Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can typically be taken for approved however extreme weather condition can take its toll. It’s important to keep trees healthy and aim to prevent illness or weather condition damage.
Among the first things you can do is discover the trees you wish to care for and their particular needs. If you’re not sure about the kind of tree you have, there are numerous resources online to assist you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When looking into trees, the main things to watch out for are:
- Kind of soil needed
- Quantity of water needed
- Specific level of sensitivities (drought, water, wind, etc).
Once you know more about your trees, follow these 5 pointers to keep your trees resilient and healthy.
Protect the roots.
Concentrate on the zone around a tree up to where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone however this is the area where roots are more delicate. The key is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep taking in water and oxygen.
Secure the bark.
Consider the bark as an armour that secures the tree. Safeguarding the tree bark will avoid infections, illness or insect activity. Keep an eye out for possible dangers that might damage tree bark, consisting of:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from tall vehicles. Remove lower branches to avoid damage and make sure trees show up during the night.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that repetitively hits bark at the exact same location can trigger damage. If you use sprinklers to water your yard, make sure these do not directly hit trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing versus each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches correctly so branches do not get entwined.
- Lawn devices: put on; t get yard equipment near the tree trunks as this can trigger serious damage to the bark.
Water efficiently.
Trees normally thrive well in existing moisture conditions and don’t need any extra watering. However, depending upon your local climate, you might have to water your trees throughout extended periods of dry spell. If you do need to water trees in the summertime, a periodic deep watering is chosen to a regular misting. In winter season trees shouldn’t need any watering.
Prune properly.
We’ve formerly discussed pruning trees as it’s a crucial part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you understand exactly what you are doing, otherwise you can always hire an expert. The main points to watch out for are:.
- Crossing branches: eliminate the smaller branch so the stronger 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 prone to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can likewise remove low branches for aesthetic purposes.
Keep soil healthy.
There are 2 methods you can make sure that the soil around your tree is abundant in nutrients.
- Use mulch. Spread out a layer of mulch around your tree, about 2 to 4 inches thick. The mulch does not have to touch the trunk.
- Plant lawn or some type of ground cover. Dead plant material will decay in the ground and improve the soil. Make sure your plants can prosper in the shade and that their roots don’t compete with the tree.
Nearby Areas That We Cover:
Ballinaclash (Irish: An Chlais, meaning “townland of the ravine”) is a village in east County Wicklow centred on a bridge that carries the R753 regional road across the River Avonbeg.
The village is mentioned in J.M. Synge’s play ‘The Tinker’s Wedding’: “And a big fool I was too, maybe; but we’ll be seeing Jaunting Jim to-morrow in Ballinaclash, and he after getting a great price for his white foal in the horse-fair of Wicklow”
In 1837, the village had a population of 3855 according to Samuel Lewis’ ‘A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland’. This population was much reduced by the famine and subsequent emigration and today is only a fraction of that number.
The village was originally the site of an ancient monastery founded by the brother of St. Kevin, according to Mervyn Archdall. The site is now occupied by Whaley Abbey; the home of the notorious Buck Whaley.[citation needed]
