If you’re like most people, you probably take the health of your trees for granted. After all, they’ve been around forever and always seem to bounce back no matter what we do to them, right? Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Trees can succumb to disease and pests, just like any other living organism. That’s why it’s important to keep them healthy by following some simple tree care tips. In this blog post, we will discuss 10 ways that you can keep your trees healthy and looking great! Prune Your Trees – Pruning is one of the most important things you can do for your trees. It helps them to stay healthy by removing dead or diseased branches, as well as any that are growing in an undesirable direction. It’s best to prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Check out our blog on Structural Pruning for more help on this topic! Hire an ISA-Certified Arborist – Having your tree checked by an ISA-Certified Arborist is a great way to ensure that it is healthy and free of any potential problems. They will be able to spot things that you might not notice, such as pest infestations or dead branches. Having an ISA-certified arborist take a look at your trees is the best thing you can do for your trees! Mulch Your Trees – Mulching is a great way to protect your trees from weeds, pests, and extreme weather conditions. It also helps to keep the roots healthy by providing them with essential nutrients. You should mulch your trees every year, using a layer of about two to four inches. Be sure to avoid piling the mulch too high around the trunk of the tree, as this can cause problems. Use our guide on how to make your own mulch! Water Your Trees – Trees need water to grow and stay healthy! While this may seem obvious, but you would be surprised at how many people forget to water their trees. When watering, make sure to give the roots a deep soaking so they can absorb as much water as possible. If you have a newly planted tree, check out our blog on how to water your new tree!
