What You Need to Know About Tree Health<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Fundamentally, trees need water, nutrients, and sunlight to survive. But trees really need a lot of water. In fact, some trees require hundreds of gallons of water each day! There are several other factors that influence the health of a tree (i.e. soil, weather, pollution, over-crowdings, etc.), but these three elements are the most influential. If even one of them is disturbed, it can cause the tree distress, and eventual decline in health. And a spot of decline leaves a tree in a more vulnerable state, making it more susceptible to pest infestations and tree diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are plenty of effective ways to make sure your trees survive the winter, and thrive throughout each upcoming season. Below are some important tree care tips to consider if you are concerned about the condition of your landscaping trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Tree Care Advice<\/strong> to Follow All Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Provide routine tree care, including trimming, pruning, watering, fertilizing, and mulching. Pruning dead branches is especially important to prevent tree cankers, weevils, and blights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a professional tree care company for major tree work, like tree removal, stump grinding, tree diseases, infestations, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only plant drought-tolerant tree species if you live in a region where hot-spells and dry-spells are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove dead or dying trees IMMEDIATELY. The longer they are on your property, the more problems and hazards they can potentially impose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thin out any underbrush and small tree canopies to improve the vigor of your other trees. Provide canopy thinning in the spring to promote more sunlight and healthy growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
