A big focus is spent on preparing trees for the winter, but how do you prepare trees as they get into the warmer months? Taking trees out of hibernation is something to be aware of as well, and professional tree services can help guide the tree preparation. Here are some of the tree services that need to be done for the tree as it comes out of hibernation.
- Pruning: When the frost rolls out, dead branches can be easily spotted. This makes it an optimal time to prune away any excess and allow the tree to be able to grow better.
- Soil: The changing season can change the nutrients in the soil, so it is a good idea to get the soil tested to make sure it has the correct levels of nutrients in it. Then nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and any other additives may be added to the soil in the correct amounts to help the tree restore itself from hibernation.
- Inspect: Checking the tree for frost damage is essential. While the hope with winter preparation is that the trees do not get damaged, there is still a chance that the tree does get damaged. If there is damage or disease, there are professional tree services that can help with that as well.
- Plant: Spring time means that new plants are ready to spring up. As the winter leaves, new plants can roll in. So, plan ahead and be aware of where and what trees to plant as spring rolls in.
Planning for spring is much easier than planning for winter, but that does not mean there is no work to be done. Make sure to plan with professional tree services how to best tackle preparing your trees for spring.
