1. Take Maintenance of Trees in all Seasons
Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees,” said a wise poet. For all
gardeners, tree-caring offers joy and adventure. But it poses challenges at every nook and corner too. Trees’
growth comes at the cost of attentiveness and understanding plant’s requirements. Here’s what our experts
have to say about tree maintenance.
Summer:
Add 3-4″ inch of organic content such as bark leaves or dry twigs. It helps retaining water and prevents weed
accumulation. Also, it reduces erosion and facilitates root development.Water plants manually. Watering may
be infrequent but should penetrate deeply. Except for Pines, all plants can be pruned in this season. Cut down
the unwanted growth. Be careful and avoid cutting down the buds that eventually will grow for the next crop
of flowers.
Fall:
Trim the branches appropriately before winter arrives. Heavy snow injures the branches and can prove fatal
to the tree’s life, human and surrounding property. Prepare beforehand for any such mishap and do not ignore
tree’s safety and nourishment in this season. Water the plants frequently and prevent it from any rodent’s
influence. Make regular visits to inspect the tree’s well-beingness.
Winter:
Water the plants abundantly, especially if the plants are newly germinated. Give your trees a good source of
water @10 gallons of water for each diameter inch of the tree. To ensure optimum temperature throughout
the day, remember to water the plant once in the middle of the day.Remove the weak and broken branches.
Bring your baby tree in proper shape. In case there’s a snowfall that hits before trees lose their leaves, shake
your trees carefully.
