Spring is a great time to mulch around your trees and shrubs. Placing mulch correctly around a tree can help control weeds and keep soil moist. It helps moderate soil temperature, improves overall root and tree health, reduces trunk injury, and soil compaction. Apply mulch three to four inches in depth in a ring evenly around the tree, preferably out to the drip line. Do not place mulch on the base of the trunk. Make sure you purchase quality mulch; rule of thumb is if it ...smells good it is good. Applying too much mulch and having it piled against the trunk can prove catastrophic to the health of the tree. It’s important to understand below the bark is tissue know as the Cambium layer. All the moisture and nutrition that feed the tree travel through this layer, it is important to protect the trunk from injury, but if mulch is piled on the trunk it may also interfere with the plants vascular tissue. Volcano Mulching can encourage poor root growth causing roots to grow upward instead of downward, eventually leading to girdling roots. It can also have the opposite effect and hold to much water which can lead to fungal diseases or bark decay. Avoid Volcano Mulching at all costs. photo credit: patch.com See more

Now is a good time to have your Winter Property Inspection performed. An Arborist will perform a crown inspection which will bring to light any dead, diseased, cracked or poorly attached limbs within your trees. We will then make recommendations based on the information found in the inspection. Much like a checkup, this visual evaluation can help uncover issues before they cause serious damage. These visits are essential to maintaining healthy plant material on your property. Call our office today to set up your complimentary inspection. 631-473-4242
