Fall months afford a perfect opportunity to prepare your trees for next spring. Pruning and fertilizing are the two most important services that benefit your trees. Fall is the best time to prune because it is cooler and the sap is down and tree fungi are not as active. Pruning during this period is healthier and less stressful for the tree.
Fall fertilization is crucial for healthy, thriving trees in the spring. Fertilizer takes time to break down and reach the tree roots over the winter months. Fertilization in fall gives your tree the full benefit of nutrients that are vital at bud-break in the spring.
Fall clean-up should always include removal of any unhealthy limbs. Diseased leaves and sticks should also be removed from the base of your trees to prevent harmful fungi from contaminating the soil. Now is also a great time to take out that pesky stump or remove that eye-sore tree husk that has been dead for years.
So during these chilly autumn days consider the spring months that will soon arrive. Now is a perfect time to plan improvements. Our expert pruning and trimming will get your yard ready for a beautiful spring. Look through our site and the services we provide. Centurion Tree is here for all your tree-care needs!
Tree Tip #5 - Mulching
Mulching around trees has several benefits for tree health. It reduces damage from mowers and trimmers. Mulch provides a moist barrier and helps retain moisture around your plants during dry periods. It also acts as an insulation to help prevent freezing of delicate roots while providing extra nutrients to the soil.
