The summertime brings a lot of sun and amazing weather, great for spending time outdoors. Your trees will also love the warmer weather and grow if given the chance. To help your trees thrive, here are some maintenance tips for the summertime you should follow.
Water the Roots
One of the biggest issues trees face in the summertime is getting enough water for their roots. Without proper ventilation to the roots, water and nutrients can’t reach the tree. That’s why you should practice deep watering tactics to ensure your trees get the food they need.
Fertilize Regularly
Trees suck up nutrients from the ground, and these nutrients likely won’t replenish fast enough in a normal lawn. That’s why fertilizer and soil care are so necessary for trees. To keep your trees healthy, most need fertilizer every three to four weeks. However, every tree is different, and your species may need more or less fertilizer depending on its needs.
Ensure Water Drainage
Water will naturally pool on the ground from the rain if the ground has too much water already. This is a huge issue for trees, often leading to sickness and death. That’s why you should build a water-drainage system in your lawn to help your trees. This can look as simple as water-draining channels in the soil to divert the water from the tree’s base.
Provide Sun Protection
The summertime comes with the sun, which is both a necessity and a danger for tree growth. In particular, sunscald is a summertime issue that can quickly damage your trees. You can wrap your tree trunks in protective materials or consider the several other ways to protect your trees from sunscald.
These tips for tree maintenance in the summertime will help you keep your trees as healthy as possible all year round. However, you’ll likely benefit from hiring an arborist to come in and help direct you in the proper care for your specific trees. While these tips apply to all trees, an arborist can give you specific help and advice that will best suit your trees.
