Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can typically be considered given but intense weather condition can take its toll. It is essential to keep trees healthy and attempt to prevent illness or weather condition damage.
Among the very first things you can do is find out about the trees you want to take care of and their particular requirements. If you’re unsure 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 researching trees, the main things to watch out for are:
- Type of soil needed
- Amount of water needed
- Specific level of sensitivities (drought, water, wind, etc).
Once you know more about your trees, follow these 5 tips to keep your trees durable 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 soaking up water and oxygen.
Safeguard the bark.
Think about the bark as an armour that protects the tree. Safeguarding the tree bark will prevent infections, illness or insect activity. Look out for possible dangers that could 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 ensure trees show up in the evening.
- Sprinkler system: a spray of water that repetitively hits bark at the same place can trigger damage. If you use sprinklers to water your yard, make sure these don’t directly hit trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing against each other can cause damage to the bark. Prune branches properly so branches don’t get entwined.
- Lawn devices: wear; t get yard equipment near to the tree trunks as this can cause serious damage to the bark.
Water efficiently.
Trees generally flourish well in existing wetness conditions and don’t need any extra watering. However, depending upon your local climate, you may need to water your trees throughout extended periods of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summer, an occasional deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter trees should not require any watering.
Prune effectively.
We’ve previously discussed pruning trees as it’s a crucial part of tree maintenance. It’s something you can do yourself if you understand what you are doing, otherwise you can always employ a professional. The main things to keep an eye out for are:.
- Crossing branches: remove 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: get rid of branches that are low and are susceptible to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can also eliminate low branches for aesthetic functions.
Keep soil healthy.
There are 2 methods you can ensure that the soil around your tree is rich in nutrients.
- Usage mulch. Spread a layer of mulch around your tree, about 2 to 4 inches thick. The mulch does not have to touch the trunk.
- Plant turf or some kind of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enrich the soil. Make certain your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots don’t compete with the tree.

Macreddin (Irish: Maigh Chríodáin, meaning “plain of Cridan”; formerly also Moycreedin; formerly officially Carysfort, also Cariesfort), is a hamlet in County Wicklow, in the southern foothills of the Wicklow Mountains, 4 km north of Aughrim on the back road to Greenan. The historical borough is in the townland of Macreddin West in the civil parish of Ballykine, barony of Ballinacor South. It also gives its name to the adjacent townland of Macreddin East.
Wicklow County Council’s 2010 development plan recognises the site as an “area of archaeological potential and significance” as “site of one of the few 17th century Plantation Towns established in Leinster”. The pre-1800 parliamentary borough of Carysfort and the title Earl of Carysfort derive from Carysfort.
