- Water- watering plants may not be ideal during winter. Spring is a great time for this activity. You can start by having a registered irrigator check your irrigation system. Letting your irrigator and an ISA Certified arborists work together is a great idea to ensure everything is well.
- Pruning- spring is an ideal season for pruning. It may be better to prune tree during winter the tree is dormant. But spring is also a good time because you can easily determine the living and non-living tissue. The leaves can help you distinguish which is the living tissue and which one is not.
- Inspect- see how your tree is thriving, so you will know what else it needs to grow. Let a Certified Arborist or Board Certified Master Arborist visit your property to find out if there are any issues that need to be addressed with regard to your tree.
- Rake- fallen leaves and twigs can serve as nutrients for the tree. However, if the tree was infected with fungal or bacterial diseases, they might get stuck in the leaves and can affect your tree. Eliminate these twigs and branches by raking them to ensure your tree is kept healthy.
- Mulch- when raking the fallen leaves from your tree, the natural nutrient source is destroyed. That is why applying mulch around your trees' drip line can help give your tree that extra boost it needs. Besides being cheap, mulching is also one of the most effective and easiest ways to care for your tree.
- Fertilize- the ground where your tree is planted may lose nutrients after raking. Having supplemental fertilization could compensate for the loss. However, do not just put any kind of chemical in your tree because it might be counterproductive. Always ensure that you are using the appropriate fertilizer that your tree needs. Some fertilizers can have negative impacts on your tree, which in turn can cause it to weaken or die. Ask help from a professional to know the right fertilizer to use.
- Assess your soil- before giving anything to your tree, make sure that you have analyzed the soil and that you are giving just enough of what your tree really requires. Too much nitrogen can hurt your tree's root system and this can cause future problems. If you do not know how to check your soil, call a professional arborist to help you with it.
