Spring is in the air, and our yards are finally waking up after a long winter. With that in mind, we the tree experts thought we'd put together a quick spring tree care checklist for any tree owner to consider. Or if you are having a dead tree at lawn, tree removal Charleston SC can be a better option also.
Winters are worst for plants
Storms and other winter weather conditions can generate a variety of problems. Broken limbs and tree trunk damage are among the first things to investigate. To decrease the likelihood of decay or disease entering the tree through those points, remove any broken branches, making clean cuts at the point of the break. This will help reduce tension on the tree if the break was not complete and will not place additional weight on other branches. Damage to the tree's trunk can introduce elements and allow disease, pests, and animals to enter the tree's more sensitive core.
Other causes for spring cleaning
In addition to trunk damage, you should look for branches that are not budding or appear to be dead. While it may be tempting to remove supposedly dead branches before the peak of Spring, some of them may not be dead but rather dormant as a result of stress on the tree. This could be an indicator of sickness in some circumstances, but most concerns like this can be handled with a change in fertilisation or water provision. A lack of deep irrigation combined with an exceptionally hot summer is one circumstance that could lead to bare branches. Furthermore, because certain natural soil is already rich in the elements found in most fertilisers, any fertilisation may result in overfertilization.
