Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can frequently be considered granted but extreme weather can take its toll. It is very important to keep trees healthy and try to avoid diseases or weather damage.
Among 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 unsure about the kind of tree you have, there are lots of resources online to help you, such as the Forestry Commission Tree Name Trail. When researching trees, the main things to keep an eye out for are:
- Type of soil required
- Amount of water needed
- Specific level of sensitivities (dry spell, water, wind, etc).
Once you understand more about your trees, follow these 5 ideas 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 however this is the location where roots are more sensitive. The key is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep absorbing water and oxygen.
Protect the bark.
Think about the bark as an armour that safeguards the tree. Protecting the tree bark will avoid infections, illness or insect activity. Watch out for possible dangers that might damage tree bark, including:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from high vehicles. Eliminate lower branches to prevent damage and ensure trees are visible in the evening.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that repetitively hits bark at the exact same place can cause damage. If you utilize sprinklers to water your yard, make certain these don’t straight strike trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing versus each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches properly so branches do not get braided.
- Yard devices: put on; t get lawn devices close to the tree trunks as this can cause major damage to the bark.
Water efficiently.
Trees typically prosper well in existing moisture conditions and don’t require any extra watering. However, depending upon your regional climate, you may have to water your trees during extended periods of drought. If you do need to water trees in the summer season, a periodic deep watering is preferred to a regular misting. In winter season trees should not require any watering.
Prune appropriately.
We’ve previously blogged about pruning trees as it’s a crucial part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you know exactly what you are doing, otherwise you can always hire a professional. The main things to keep an eye 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: get rid of branches that are low and are vulnerable to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can also remove low branches for visual functions.
Keep soil healthy.
There are 2 methods you can ensure that the soil around your tree is abundant in nutrients.
- Usage 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 grass or some type of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enrich the soil. Ensure your plants can grow in the shade and that their roots do not compete with the tree.
