We often take trees for granted, and it’s easy to forget how much they contribute to our quality of life. However, they can’t survive without a healthy root system and the right soil conditions. Ongoing maintenance is also essential to the longevity and beauty of your trees. Whether you are planting a new tree or looking for tips to care for your existing ones, here are some expert recommendations for growing and maintaining happy and healthy trees. Planting the Right TreeA tree’s success begins at planting time. Choose the species that best meets your goals, such as shade or ornamental value, mature canopy height/width and U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone. Consider other factors, such as soil conditions and sunlight requirements. When planting a young tree, ensure that the roots aren’t buried. The area that transforms from trunk to roots is called the root flare and should be easily visible. The site should also be free of competing vegetation, such as weeds or other woody plants that compete for resources. Watering a New TreeAfter planting, water young trees at least 10 gallons per week until they begin to grow leaves in the spring (generally March through June). Then, water every 2-3 days and give them about 15 gallons a week until the tree drops its leaves in fall (usually October through December). It is important to prune a tree properly to prevent disease, insect infestation and excessive growth. Pruning should be done annually after a tree is 3 years old, and it is recommended to start pruning in the winter for optimum growth. When pruning, avoid removing more than 1/3 of the tree’s total foliage. Crown cleaning and thinning are used to remove dead or dying wood, to improve air circulation and to promote growth. Crown raising can be performed for specific purposes, such as reducing the risk of damage to sidewalks or driveways. Maintaining a Healthy TreeIf you notice a health problem with your trees, like leaf rust or Witches’ Broom, it’s important to reach out to a professional for advice. They can help you address these issues before they escalate and potentially affect the health and longevity of your trees. Tree services can also be useful in addressing emergency situations such as severed power lines or damaged or fallen limbs caused by a storm. A good tree service can assess the situation quickly and provide an accurate estimate to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Aside from addressing potential problems, an experienced tree service can provide regular pruning and trimming to promote healthy trees that will thrive throughout the seasons. They will also prune and trim limbs that have grown too close to power lines or structures to reduce the risk of damage in future storms. They have the proper equipment and skills to do this safely and efficiently. via https://cheaptreeremovalau1.wordpress.com/2024/02/20/tree-care-and-maintenance-recommendations/
