We may have the winter blues now, but just remember friends, spring is right around the corner. With spring comes the melting of our arctic wonderland, which can be both a blessing and a burden. The receding blanket of white reveals the greenery which has been waiting for the sun to bring it back to life. It doesn’t take long for the little buds on the trees to come out of hibernation and soon become flourishing branches and limbs. But, if left unattended, this budding greenery can often become overgrown, unsafe, and unsightly.
There are 3 tasks that all trees should be subject to at the onset of spring. First, the easiest thing an individual can do for the care of a tree is simply to take a look. Look for any signs of disease or damage. This will help to identify branches that need to be removed for the prosperity of the tree. Secondly, all trees should be appropriately pruned. Pruning removes interior growth and increases light penetration and air flow. Lastly, all trees should be mulched. This is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also useful. Mulching in early spring helps retain moisture and also assists in the nutrient absorption of plants and trees.
Storms have more of an impact on leafy and heavy branches. Therefore, the likelihood of damage to the tree, people, or personal property is increased without proper pruning and trimming. At GP Tree Service, we understand that after a long day of working and taking care of family matters the health of your trees is the last thing on your mind. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, or if you notice anything unusual about your trees, feel free to give the experts at GP Tree Service a call. We can help you get back into the “Spring” of things.
