Tree Care Tips for Every Season

Maintaining healthy trees requires year-round attention. Each season brings different challenges, from harsh winter conditions to summer storms. Proper seasonal care helps protect your trees from disease, structural damage, and extreme weather conditions. Follow these tree tips to keep your trees in excellent shape all year long.

Spring Tree Care

Spring is the perfect time to assess winter damage and prepare for the growing season.

• Inspect trees for winter damage, such as broken or weakened branches.
• Apply mulch around the base of trees to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Begin fertilizing to replenish nutrients lost over winter and encourage strong growth.
• Check for signs of pests or fungal infections that can spread quickly during spring.
  

Summer Tree Care

Hot temperatures and potential storms can pose risks to trees during the summer.

• Hydrate trees adequately, especially during dry periods, to prevent drought stress.
• Monitor for pests, such as aphids or borers, and take action early if an infestation is spotted.
• Prune dead or weak branches to reduce the risk of falling limbs during storms.
• Avoid major trimming during peak heat, as it can stress trees unnecessarily.
  

Fall Tree Care

Fall is the ideal time to prepare trees for winter by reinforcing their health.

• Rake leaves and clear debris to prevent fungal growth and reduce pest habitats.
• Schedule professional tree service for trimming and pruning before winter storms arrive.
• Plant new trees in early fall to allow roots to establish before the ground freezes.
• Inspect trees for structural weaknesses that could cause breakage under heavy snow.
  

Winter Tree Care

Winter conditions can be harsh on trees, requiring extra precautions.

• Avoid heavy pruning in winter unless necessary for emergency tree removal.
• Protect young or delicate trees with burlap wraps to prevent frost damage.
• Remove heavy snow accumulation from branches to prevent breakage.
• Monitor trees for cracks or splits caused by fluctuating temperatures.
