🌳How to Take Care of Trees in the Summer🌳
1. Water Regularly 💦 The best time to water is early morning, before the heat of the day sets in.
2. Prune Correctly 🪚 When it comes to pruning, concentrate on removing dead or damaged branches that have been affected by weather or disease, rather than taking off a lot of foliage unnecessarily.
3. Fertilize 🌱 Fertilizing trees in the summer can help them stay healthy and strong.
4. Monitor Pests 🐛 Keep an eye out for any signs of infestation such as discolored leaves or wilting branches.
5. Check for Diseases 🩺 Inspect your trees often for any signs of disease and take action as soon as possible. It may be best to contact a tree service professional for assistance. (That’s us!)
6. Mulch Correctly 🪴 Mulching around the base of your trees helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool during summer’s hottest days.
7. Protect From Sunburn: ☀️ Trees can suffer from sunburn if overexposed to harsh sunlight. To prevent this, make sure to provide adequate shade – especially for young and vulnerable saplings.
8. Avoid Stressing Out Your Trees: 😵💫 Improper tree installation, improper mulching, poor watering techniques, improper pruning, and maintenance neglect can all lead to stressed out trees.
9. Limit Pruning During Summer: 🍃Summer is not the ideal time to make drastic changes and heavy pruning to your trees. Some tree trimming may be necessary for safety reasons or for aesthetic purposes but try to limit it as much as possible since trees already have a lot of stress during the hot months of the year.
