Basic Tree Maintenance Tips
Trees can frequently be considered granted but extreme weather can take its toll. It’s important to keep trees healthy and aim to prevent diseases or weather condition damage.
Among the first things you can do is discover the trees you wish to care for and their particular needs. 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 looking into trees, the main things to watch out for are:
- Type of soil needed
- Amount of water needed
- Specific sensitivities (drought, water, wind, etc).
Once you know more about your trees, follow these 5 suggestions to keep your trees resistant and healthy.
Protect the roots.
Concentrate on the zone around a tree up to 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 absorbing water and oxygen.
Safeguard the bark.
Consider the bark as an armour that safeguards the tree. Securing the tree bark will avoid infections, diseases or insect activity. Keep an eye out for potential dangers that could damage tree bark, consisting of:.
- Vehicles: trees near roadways or driveways can suffer hits from high vehicles. Eliminate lower branches to prevent damage and ensure trees show up in the evening.
- Lawn sprinklers: a spray of water that over and over again strikes bark at the same location can trigger damage. If you use sprinklers to water your lawn, make certain these don’t directly hit trees.
- Branches: branches rubbing against each other can trigger damage to the bark. Prune branches properly so branches don’t get entwined.
- Lawn equipment: put on; t get lawn devices near to the tree trunks as this can cause severe damage to the bark.
Water effectively.
Trees typically prosper well in existing moisture conditions and do not need any additional watering. Nevertheless, depending on your local climate, you might need to water your trees throughout extended durations of drought. If you do have to water trees in the summer, a periodic deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter season trees shouldn’t need any watering.
Prune effectively.
We’ve previously blogged about pruning trees as it’s an essential part of tree upkeep. It’s something you can do yourself if you know what you are doing, otherwise you can always work with a professional. The main points to keep an eye out for are:.
- Crossing branches: remove the smaller sized 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 prone to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can likewise eliminate low branches for aesthetic purposes.
Keep soil healthy.
There are two ways you can make sure that the soil around your tree is abundant in nutrients.
- Use 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 grass or some kind of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enhance the soil. Ensure your plants can thrive in the shade and that their roots do not compete with the tree.
Nearby Areas That We Cover:
Santry (Irish: Seantrabh, meaning “Old tribe”) is a suburb on the northside of Dublin, Ireland, bordering Coolock, Glasnevin, Kilmore and Ballymun. It straddles the boundary of Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council jurisdictions.
The character of the area has changed in the last 100 years, from a district centred on a large estate, and later small village, to a modern, rather dispersed, mixed-use suburb. Much of the old village is gone and where there were once fields full of crops, and wild woodlands of all sorts, there are now housing estates, an athletics stadium, a shopping complex, industrial parks and busy roads leading to Dublin Airport.
Trinity College Library has a depository at Santry which holds three million books.
Santry is also the name of a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock.
