Spring: In the spring, it is crucial to inspect your trees for any signs of damage that may have occurred over the winter months. Look for broken branches, pest infestations, or disease symptoms. Pruning is also essential during this time to encourage healthy growth and maintain the tree's shape. Remember to water your trees thoroughly, especially during dry spells.
Summer: During the summer months, it is important to keep an eye on the health of your trees, as heat stress can take a toll on them. Make sure to water your trees deeply, but infrequently, to encourage deep root growth. Mulching around the base of your trees can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Keep an eye out for any signs of pests or diseases and address them promptly.
Fall: As the leaves begin to change color and fall, it is time to prepare your trees for the winter ahead. Start by raking up fallen leaves and debris to prevent disease and pests from taking hold. Continue watering your trees until the ground freezes, as they will still need moisture to survive the winter. Consider applying a layer of mulch around the base of your trees to insulate them from the cold.
Winter: In the winter, it is important to protect your trees from harsh weather conditions. Be mindful of heavy snow loads that can weigh down branches and cause them to break. Shake snow off branches gently to prevent damage. Avoid salting near your trees, as it can damage their roots. Consider wrapping sensitive trees in burlap to protect them from frostbite. Keep an eye out for signs of winter damage, such as sunscald or frost cracks, and address them promptly.
