There are plenty more factors to consider if you want your tree to grow strong and last a long time. One such factor that seems to hold homeowners back from reaching their landscaping goals is overexposure to sun. Especially for new construction homes, there can be many areas of a lot that do not have any sources of shade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, planting a tree that is not suitable to full-sun exposure can end in failure. After all, how frustrating would it be to spend several hundred dollars on a new tree, only for it to decline the following season? Even a 30 or 90-day guarantee from your landscaping retailer won\u2019t help since often times, damage shows up the season after too much sun exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Continue reading to learn which species of tree are both hardy to Indiana, and suitable for a full-sun location in your yard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/American-Sweet-Gum-Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN.jpg\" alt=\"Indianapolis Tree Service 317-783-2518\" class=\"wp-image-529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/American-Sweet-Gum-Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/American-Sweet-Gum-Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/American-Sweet-Gum-Tree-Service-Indianapolis-IN-768x537.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Indianapolis Tree Service 317-783-2518 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drought-Tolerant, Full-Sun Tree Species<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The USDA Hardiness Zones for Indiana are 5 and 6, specifically 5b, and 6a, and 6b.

That is because the root system is still being introduced into the soil and acclimating to its new surroundings. Here are some tips that will put you on a path of success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first several months, you must check the soil every day, and water your transplanted tree every few days. Just be sure to not over-water; two or three times a week is a great starting off point. If it rains, check the top few inches of soil around the base of the tree for moisture first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laying mulch around the base of your trees is a highly effective method of supporting healthy growth and prolonging their life. Although you do not need to re-mulch every week, it is important to check on your mulch beds every day to ensure they are still doing their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to inspect the branches of your transplanted tree every day to assess its pruning needs. Pruning should take place right after you transplant your tree. No more than 25% of a tree\u2019s foliage should be removed in a year. Be sure to have a licensed tree service company perform your annual pruning needs to ensure that the proper ANSI tree pruning standards are applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspect your tree every day to ensure it is growing as it should. If it is not, fertilizer may be an option. Fertilizer should only be applied AFTER the first year of tree transplanting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/blog\/how-to-spot-the-signs-of-tree-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stressed trees should never be fertilized.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to minimize the level of danger that can be imposed onto your new tree. This includes taking into consideration lawn mowers, sprinkler systems, nuisance wildlife, pets, herbicides, pesticides, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Trusted Tree Care Advice and Tree Service in Indianapolis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Complete Tree Care at 317-783-2518<\/strong> for experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tree service in Indianapolis<\/a> and throughout Central Indiana.
