At Koubsky Tree Service, we understand that mature trees play an important role in our landscape and require special care to ensure their health and longevity. Here are a few things to keep in mind when caring for mature trees:
- Regular inspections:
Mature trees should be inspected regularly by a professional arborist to check for any signs of disease, pests, or structural issues. Regular inspections can help to identify potential problems early, before they become serious. - Pruning:
Mature trees may require pruning to remove dead or diseased branches, as well as to promote healthy growth. Pruning should be done by a professional arborist, as improper pruning can cause further damage. - Soil care:
Mature trees require healthy soil to thrive. The soil around the tree should be kept free of weeds and debris and should be fertilized as needed. - Watering:
Mature trees may require extra watering during dry periods to ensure they have enough moisture. It’s important to water the tree deeply, allowing water to reach the roots. - Mulching:
A layer of mulch around the base of a mature tree can help to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate the roots from temperature fluctuations. - Support:
If a tree is showing signs of stress or is leaning, it may need support to ensure it remains upright. A professional arborist can determine if the tree needs support and can install it as necessary.
