Neglecting proper tree care during this time could lead to premature death or stunted growth. The experts at Brockman Tree & Lawn Care have compiled a list of five essential tips to help you get your trees ready for the upcoming spring season.

It is essential to examine your trees for any indicators of damage or disease during this time. Here are some things to look for during your inspection:
Although winter is generally the optimal time to prune trees, early spring can also provide visual cues as to which wood requires removal. Here are some pruning considerations to keep in mind:
Caring for trees during spring involves various maintenance activities, with watering being the most critical for their health and growth. Water is essential for trees to thrive, and insufficient watering can cause hydraulic failure, while excessive watering can lead to root diseases that may rapidly kill the tree.
Maintaining and caring for trees during spring involves various activities, including mulching, to regulate the soil’s moisture and temperature. Applying organic mulch to your trees and garden can regulate the soil’s temperature and moisture, promoting healthy growth.
Before considering fertilizing your trees, it’s recommended that you get your soil tested to evaluate its nutrient and mineral levels and pH. To do this, you can send your soil sample to a professional laboratory or a university extension lab.
By following these tree care tips, you can help ensure your trees remain healthy and vibrant throughout the spring and beyond. So don’t wait. Please act today to protect your trees and keep them thriving and sustainable.
