Trees are amazing creatures, and they can survive even the strongest of storms. However, no matter how sturdy and healthy they are, they are still susceptible to diseases and damages that can cause their premature death. Your trees may need a little intervention for it to flourish in the coming spring. Take heart because preparing your trees for the growing season is not as daunting as you think. You can use the following tips to ensure your trees will bloom the entire spring season and throughout the year.

Clear The Area

Once the winter season is over, the area around your tree will be most likely covered with fallen leaves and twigs, and other forms of tree debris. These things make it hard for your trees to flourish, so to prepare them for spring, make an effort to clear the site and make room for your tree to develop.

By raking up and cleaning the base of your tree of any fruit, leaves, and twigs, you will be able to clear the way for new buds to flourish as well as preventing pests or diseases such as fungal growth to infest your tree. It is like hitting two birds with one stone.

Fertilize

The cold season can take its toll on your tree's health. During winter, trees can lose nutrients that are essential for them to grow and thrive. It is necessary to give them added fertilizer to ensure good health and that your tree will develop during spring.

Mulch the area around the base of your tree before spring arrives. Put three inches-thick of mulch around the area to ensure maximum results. Mulching your tree will help it keep much-needed moisture and nutrients for it to grow to its full potential in the coming spring season.

Trim Your Trees

You may see this as unnecessary, but the truth is, trimming is one of the best ways to encourage growth in your trees. Overgrowing and entwining of limbs can hinder growth and lead to the death of these branches.

To ensure the growth of your trees in spring, you need to have them trimmed by a certified arborist. Winter is an ideal time for trimming when trees are dormant. If you trim them during this time, they will be ready for new growth in spring. Even if you have the right tools for trimming, it is still best to let the professionals do it to ensure everything is done correctly.

Schedule Spring Tree Maintenance
​

If you want to make sure your trees will be in full bloom in spring, don't forget to have them inspected and trimmed by a tree expert before the season comes. There are a lot of tree services which can handle this job for you, but only choose the one with a good reputation and the one that is trusted by most residents in your area. Look for a company that can provide you with professional service yet at an affordable price.
