- Mulch Your Trees: Mulching around trees offers numerous benefits, primarily protecting and promoting healthy growth. It helps regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and add nutrients. Mulch also protects tree roots from damage and erosion.
- Water Your Trees:Watering trees is crucial for their growth and survival, especially during their early years. Newly planted trees need water to establish their root systems, while established trees need water for photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and cooling through transpiration. Regular watering helps trees adapt to their new environment, preventing stress and promoting healthy development.
- Fertilize Your Trees:Fertilizing trees is important for their overall health and vigor, helping them thrive and resist stress. By providing essential nutrients, fertilization supports growth, strengthens root systems, and enhances the tree’s ability to withstand environmental challenges like drought, pests, and diseases.
- Protect Your Trees from Pests: Prioritize preventative measures and natural pest control methods. Regularly inspect your trees for signs of infestation, prune dead or diseased branches, and ensure proper watering and soil health
