Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can often be considered given but extreme weather can take its toll. It’s important to keep trees healthy and aim to prevent diseases or weather condition damage.
One of the very first things you can do is learn about the trees you wish to look after and their specific needs. If you’re unsure about the sort 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 points to watch out for are:
- Kind of soil needed
- Quantity of water needed
- Particular level of sensitivities (dry spell, water, wind, etc).
When you know more about your trees, follow these 5 suggestions to keep your trees resilient and healthy.
Secure the roots.
Focus 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 secret is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep taking in water and oxygen.
Secure the bark.
Think about the bark as an armour that secures the tree. Protecting the tree bark will avoid infections, diseases or insect activity. Watch out for potential threats that could damage tree bark, including:.
- Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from tall vehicles. Get rid of lower branches to avoid breakage and ensure trees are visible during the night.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that over and over again strikes bark at the very same location can cause damage. If you utilize sprinklers to water your yard, make certain 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 laced.
- Yard equipment: put on; t get lawn devices near the tree trunks as this can trigger serious damage to the bark.
Water efficiently.
Trees generally thrive well in existing moisture conditions and don’t need any extra watering. However, depending on your regional climate, you may have to water your trees throughout extended durations of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summertime, a periodic deep watering is chosen to a frequent misting. In winter trees shouldn’t need any watering.
Prune effectively.
We’ve formerly blogged about pruning trees as it’s an important part of tree upkeep. It’s something you can do yourself if you understand exactly what you are doing, otherwise you can always work with an expert. The main points to watch out for are:.
- Crossing branches: remove the smaller branch so the more powerful one can grow without being harmed.
- Broken and dead branches: a clean cut will assist the tree heal.
Low branches: eliminate branches that are low and are prone to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can also eliminate low branches for visual purposes.
Keep soil healthy.
There are two 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 turf or some type of ground cover. Dead plant material will decay in the ground and enrich the soil. Ensure your plants can flourish in the shade and that their roots do not compete with the tree.
