Seasonal Tree Maintenance: A Year-Round Guide for Healthy Trees
Maintaining the health and vibrancy of your trees is a year-round commitment. Trees, like all living organisms, have evolving needs that correspond to the changing seasons. This extensive guide provides a comprehensive seasonal approach to tree maintenance, ensuring that your trees thrive every season.
As spring breathes life back into the world, it’s time to breathe life back into your trees:
- Inspect for Winter Damage: Begin by closely examining your trees for any signs of winter damage, such as broken branches or bark injuries. Address these issues promptly to prevent further harm.
- Pruning: Spring is an excellent time for pruning. Trim away dead or diseased branches to encourage new growth and shape your trees.
- Mulching: Apply a fresh layer of mulch around the base of your trees. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
