Our Top 6 Spring Tree Care Tips

As the weather begins to brighten and the trees start to blossom, it’s safe to say that we are finally in the midst of spring! As such, there’s no better time than now to get outside and prepare your garden for the spring/summer seasons so it can flourish, thrive and achieve its full potential.

Spring Clean Up

Here, we will provide you with our top 6 spring tree care tips to check the condition and health of your trees, keeping your garden looking its best in the upcoming months.
 
🍂 TIME FOR A SPRING CLEAN
Using a rake, collect together and remove any debris beneath the trees, including leaves, twigs or fruit, as these can become a breeding ground for fungal growth.
 
🍂 CLOSELY INSPECT TREES AND SHRUBS
During the winter season, your garden can fall victim to the extreme weather, such as sleet, snow and rain. As such, when giving your landscape a spring clean, you should try and remember to take a close look at your trees and shrubs for any damage; seeking the help and advice of a fully trained arborist, such as Jacobs ladder tree service, will determine whether treatments or complete removal are required.
 
🍂  COMING INTO LEAF
When inspecting the trees in your garden, make sure to check whether there are any parts of trees which are not coming into leaf as this can indicate that they are dead.
 
🍂 CHECK FOR PESTS AND DISEASES
When cleaning your garden and closely inspecting your trees and shrubs, it’s worth making yourself familiar with the different pests and diseases which can wreak havoc on your landscape. Check with an experienced arborist, such as Jacobs Ladder, to find out which types of pests and diseases your trees are at risk of falling victim to.
 
🍂 REMOVING PESTS AND DISEASES
On smaller trees, pests such as caterpillars can be removed with ease by hand. . If your trees are suffering from an infestation of aphids or spider mites, a blast with the garden hose should do the trick! If the problem persists, make sure you contact a fully qualified arborist, such as Jacobs Ladder Tree Service as quickly as possible.
 
🍂 MULCH YOUR GARDEN
Mulch is used in the garden to retain moisture and abolish weeds; this is particularly important when caring for younger trees. It’s worth noting that laying mulch against the tree trunk will retain moisture and heat, which can encourage fungal growth, so make sure you apply the layer around the bottom of the tree, not up the trunk.
