Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can frequently be taken for approved however extreme weather can take its toll. It is necessary to keep trees healthy and attempt to avoid diseases or weather condition damage.
Among the first things you can do is find out about the trees you want to care for and their particular requirements. If you’re uncertain about the type of tree you have, there are lots of resources online to assist you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When investigating trees, the main things to watch out for are:
- Kind of soil required
- Quantity of water needed
- Specific sensitivities (dry spell, water, wind, etc).
Once you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 suggestions to keep your trees resilient and healthy.
Protect the roots.
Concentrate on the zone around a tree as much as where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone however this is the location where roots are more sensitive. The secret is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep taking in water and oxygen.
Protect the bark.
Consider the bark as an armour that protects the tree. Safeguarding the tree bark will avoid infections, diseases or insect activity. Look out for potential threats that could harm tree bark, including:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from tall vehicles. Eliminate lower branches to avoid damage and make sure trees are visible during the night.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that over and over again strikes bark at the exact same place can trigger damage. If you use sprinklers to water your lawn, make certain these don’t straight strike trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing versus each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches correctly so branches do not get braided.
- Lawn equipment: don; t get lawn equipment close to the tree trunks as this can trigger major damage to the bark.
Water effectively.
Trees typically thrive well in existing moisture conditions and don’t need any additional watering. Nevertheless, depending on your regional climate, you may have to water your trees throughout extended periods of drought. If you do need to water trees in the summer season, an occasional deep watering is preferred to a regular misting. In winter season trees should not need any watering.
Prune properly.
We’ve previously written about pruning trees as it’s a crucial 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 things to look out for are:.
- Crossing branches: remove the smaller branch so the stronger one can grow without being harmed.
- Broken and dead branches: a clean cut will help the tree heal.
Low branches: eliminate branches that are low and are susceptible to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can likewise get rid of 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.
- Use mulch. Spread 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 type of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enrich the soil. Make sure your plants can prosper in the shade and that their roots do not compete with the tree.
