Spring Tree Care

As the frost of winter melts away, revealing the eager buds of spring, the time comes to turn your attention to the silent sentinels of our gardens and properties — your trees. 

What Maintenance Is Necessary for Tree Care in the Spring?

Spring is a critical time for your trees. It’s the season when they break dormancy and begin a new growth cycle. Several maintenance steps are vital:

• Pruning: Removing dead or diseased branches promotes healthy growth and prevents property damage.
• Mulching: A layer of mulch around trees retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and provides nutrients as it decomposes.
• Fertilization: Following winter, trees need proper fertilizer for robust growth.
• Watering: Ensuring trees get enough water is crucial for young or new trees.
• Inspection: Regular checks help detect diseases, pests, and issues early to prevent irreversible damage.

What Do You Need for Tree Health Care in the Spring?

In addition to the essential maintenance tasks mentioned above, a few key items you need for effective tree health care in the spring include:

• Gloves and pruning shears: These are essential for safe and precise tree pruning. Ensure they're sharp and clean.
• Mulch: Opt for organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark. Spread a 2-3 inch layer around the tree base, avoiding piling against the trunk.
• Fertilizer: Choose a slow-release granular tree fertilizer and follow the instructions.
• Watering can or hose: Use a watering can or hose with a soft spray nozzle for tree watering.
• Tree inspection checklist: Use this checklist to track issues found during inspections for easy future reference. Include tree type and location.
