Here a few tips for your tree maintenance duties
Proper irrigation is essential to the over all trees health, but also on that same token, you have to keep in mind that over irrigation can also result in tree decay and hurting its over all health.
A real easy way to determine how to properly irrigate your trees or shrubs is this simple technique. Get a screwdriver and probe the dirt underneath your tree approximately 10 inches away from your tree trunk. Good soil saturation that's healthy for a tree or shrubs growth is 18 to 20 inches of moisture. You can determine this by probing your screwdriver into the soil and then measuring how far down it goes before it hits dry dirt and would not penetrate any further. If your screwdriver measures 18 to 20 inches then you need to cut back the watering process. Trees and Shrubs are not like turf grass and do not need to be watered as regularly as such. On the same note they do have to be watered for longer periods of time because of the root systems drive deeper into the soil then the turf grass. This can easily be monitored by you, with a screwdriver. A good rule of thumb is water your trees three times a week and on the fourth time administer the probing test. This will allow you to adequately measure the soil and it's moisture. Another tip for you is buying a moisture reader that you can get at a local lawn care store. |
Mulching is one of the most important steps in this three-step process. Keep in mind that human beings need to wear adequate clothing for the elements on the outside, so do trees.
During the summer you would wear less clothing and try to keep yourself cooler by wearing something where you can feel the breeze. In addition, during the winter you would put on the thicker jacket and warmer clothes to stay warm during the cold winter months. In the same way mulch works by adequately trapping moisture and keeping the root system protected from the elements on the outside. It acts as a barrier during the summer months to keep the hot scorching sun rays away from the root system and drying the tree up and overexerting it where the tree becomes dehydrated. During the winter months it also works as a jacket as a buffer to ensure that your root system stays protected from snow and ice. Tree mulch is also essential for the over all cosmetic look of your property it absolutely gives a professional landscape appearance and an attractive appeal to your home or business. |
This step is extremely important an should only be done by a certified arborist that has knowledge of ANSI - A300 tree trimming standards.
Trimming your trees has to come with much knowledge and knowing what branches would be the right ones to prune. This is essential for your overall trees growth in the future. Improper pruning could leave your tree looking deformed and growing in an improper way, causing it to die prematurely buy it not being able to sustain itself from future storms or high winds. Keep in mind the pruning should be done with balance having equal amounts of weight on both sides of the crown. Definitely stay away from pruning the mainstream branches which is the core of the tree itself. Whenever pruning try to aim for branches that are either weathered, diseased or over grown. Rule of thumb, pick ones that are a third the size on the main stream core. |
