Spring is approaching faster than you think. With March just around the corner, we are less than a month away from warmer weather, people being outside, and more sunlight! The spring is a great time to care for the trees on your property. They have survived another grueling, long New England winter and deserve to be tidied up. Our tips will not only help your property look better, but will allow for your trees to live long, healthy lives.
Inspect All Of Them
Whether they’re big trees or small trees, take time out of your day to go outside and inspect them. This will allow you to see dead branches, fungus, cracks in the trunk, and other bad news for a tree. If you see a deep cavity in a tree that previously wasn’t there or any oozing, it may signal that your tree is diseased. Many of these signs also signal that the tree isn’t as stable as it previously was, which could be a dangerous tree! Luckily, your friends at Elliott Tree have seen everything at this point and can give you expert consultation on what actions to take.
Prune Branches
Pruning certain branches from your trees after a long winter is going to make the tree less hazardous to your property and more pleasant on the eye. You always wanted beautiful trees, right? Well, if you did, this is one of the best ways to achieve that goal. Pruning can also help defend against insects and infections because these hazards can infiltrate the healthy part of the tree through dead branches. Not good. Your tree can also nourish itself properly and spread the nutrients correctly when there are few or no dead branches to take it up. Elliott Tree workers are experts at pruning trees and can get the job done right.
Mulch Your Trees
Being up to date on mulching is an excellent way for your trees to live healthy lives. Mulching helps your trees conserve moisture so less water escapes. This allows them to gain the proper nutrients needed for them to grow and stay healthy. It also helps weeds stay away from your trees and provides a buffer from hot and cold to the roots of your tree. Different types of trees require different types of mulch, so do your due diligence before you get started.
