Warm Weather Tree Care Tips

Now that you have an idea of the drought-related issues that can damage your plants and trees, it’s time to tackle the challenging task of finding solutions to those problems. To keep your landscape healthy during the hot season, follow these tips:

• Water thoroughly: To achieve the best results, water your plants slowly and all at once. Make sure the water soaks deep into the root zone, which is about 8-10 inches down. Avoid watering during the middle of the day or using overhead irrigation, as direct sun exposure can magnify with water and cause burning. Instead, directly spray the roots or use solutions like soaker hoses and trickle irrigation.
• Strategically place your plants: Sun exposure, soil moisture levels, and wind exposure can all have a significant impact on the long-term health of your plants and trees. If you notice signs of drought damage, it could mean that you planted your tree in a spot that is too sunny or windy. By choosing the right location for the right plant, you can set them up for success and help them resist the effects of drought as they mature.
• Avoid overcrowding your plants: If your plants are too close together, they may begin to compete for vital resources – especially water. When planting your garden, it’s essential to think about the future and consider how big your plants or trees will be when they mature. If you notice that your once-spaced-out saplings are now struggling to access water, you may have inadvertently created a battle of the fittest in your yard!
• Add mulching to garden beds: Mulching can be an effective tool to combat drought. Applying a layer of mulch around your plantings will not only look good but also help to cool the soil, prevent water loss, and act as a weed barrier. A layer of 1 to 2 inches is typically recommended.

Some of these solutions may seem straightforward in theory, but implementing them can be more complicated. That’s where the experts at Accurate Tree Services + H&H Arborists can help! We have the tools and local expertise to provide you with excellent, long-lasting solutions that promote plant health no matter the season. Whether you’re planning out your landscape or you want to maintain your existing plants, we can help bring your vision to reality while encouraging longevity.

Why Do Trees Need Warm Weather Care?

It’s easy to assume that a fully mature tree is nearly indestructible. After all, they’re larger than life and it takes time for them to show signs of distress. Keeping on top of care and maintenance throughout the year will ensure they have all of the resources they need to remain strong and sturdy. Summer plant care can also help ward off diseases, pests, and other issues that can lead to long-term health issues or, in some cases, death. Particularly if your trees are still young and more vulnerable to damage, it’s best to invest a little extra time in preventative maintenance. Doing so could save you loads of time and effort down the road.
