4 Things You Can Do Right Now For Your Trees And Shrubs This Fall
During the fall season, trees will begin their process of storing their energy so they can survive the cooler winter months. So, what can you do to help your plants as they begin this process? Here are 4 things you can do now to help!
Fertilization. Nutrient applications in the fall help enrich the soil and assist plants in their intake of nutrients and water--things they’ll need to store up so they can stay healthy throughout the winter.
Winter Insect Control Applications. Dormant Oils are a great alternative to other harsh chemicals. Even though they can be applied almost all year long, they are most effective during the colder months when insects are overwintering!
Risk Assessments. We always encourage being proactive over being reactive; risk assessments help you stay prepared for which trees pose a threat on your property. Your Arborist can recommend a tree risk assessment where our team tests your tree and gives you specific feedback on any issues or its likelihood of failure.
Pruning. Fall is an excellent time for pruning! As leaves drop, the structure of your trees are more visible. Cleaning out extra deadwood helps your trees conserve energy and keeps your property safe from falling limbs!
If you’re not sure where to start, our team is here to help. Call our office today to set up an appointment with your arborist. A healthy tree can better withstand attacks from stressors of the urban environment, so don’t wait in getting them the help they need!
