Basic Tree Maintenance Tips

 

Trees can often be taken for granted but extreme weather can take its toll. It is very important to keep trees healthy and try to prevent illness or weather condition damage.

Among the first things you can do is find out about the trees you wish to look after and their particular needs. If you’re not exactly 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 investigating trees, the main points to watch out for are:

  • Type of soil needed
  • Amount of water needed
  • Specific sensitivities (drought, water, wind, etc).

Once you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 suggestions to keep your trees durable and healthy.

Safeguard the roots.

Focus on the zone around a tree as much as where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone but this is the location where roots are more delicate. The secret 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 safeguards the tree. Safeguarding the tree bark will prevent infections, illness or insect activity. Keep an eye out for potential dangers that might damage tree bark, consisting of:.

  • Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from high vehicles. Remove lower branches to prevent damage and make certain trees show up in the evening.
  • Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that repetitively hits bark at the 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 trigger damage to the bark. Prune branches correctly so branches don’t get braided.
  • Yard equipment: wear; t get lawn equipment near the tree trunks as this can trigger severe damage to the bark.

Water efficiently.

Trees usually prosper well in existing wetness conditions and don’t need any extra watering. However, depending upon your regional climate, you might have to water your trees during extended durations of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summer, an occasional deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter season trees shouldn’t require any watering.

Prune effectively.

We’ve formerly written about pruning trees as it’s a crucial part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you know what you are doing, otherwise you can always employ an expert. The main points to keep an eye out for are:.

  • Crossing branches: get rid of 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: remove branches that are low and are vulnerable to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can also eliminate low branches for visual purposes.

Keep soil healthy.

There are 2 ways you can make certain that the soil around your tree is rich 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 improve the soil. Make sure your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots don’t take on the tree.

Nearby Areas That We Cover:

Ballyknockan or Ballynockan ( bal-ə-NOK-ən; Irish: Buaile an Chnocáin) is a village and townland in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Ballyknockan has been known for the granite quarries that have existed since the early 19th century.

Ballyknockan village is located 220 metres above sea level and is around 25 miles from Dublin City Centre. In 1940 the village of Balinahown was completely flooded and parts of the surrounding towns of Valleymount and Lacken were also flooded to make way for the Poulaphouca Reservoir which spans out over 20 km2 across the land.

Since then the village now overlooks the reservoir which provides water to thousands of Dublin homes and creates electricity, while also offering many water pursuits such as fishing, sailing, windsurfing, boating, and leisure cruising and canoeing.

Ballyknockan hosts the Ballyknockan Music Festival “KnockanStockan”, annually each summer.
