A Few Tree maintenance Tips for Autumn

The trees in your yard will change their shade and leaves will drop to the floor. Although fall is not the high time for tree care or tree trimming in OKC, it won't hurt to give some care to your trees to make sure your trees are healthy throughout the year. If you want to keep your tree beautiful and healthy, follow these easy but helpful tips in the fall to take care of your trees.

Deep Water

You should hold your watering timetable to a minimum during the winter. In the spring and summer, you've performed enough watering to help reinforce the tree for the coming cold season. In the early autumn, when trees lost their leaves, that's the moment you should have profound water for both young and mature trees.

When profound watering, water should be applied in the exterior regions of the canopy of the tree along the circle of soil. This is the root component where most water is absorbed. Continue to water until the soil is wet. Deep watering will ensure all the humidity your tree requires to fight the cold weather.

Mulching

Once profound watering is performed, apply mulch around the tree base. Do not overcrowd the trunk as it may be caused by decay. The mulch acts as an insulation and keeps the soil temperature warm. As it ultimately breaks down and packs nutrients into the floor, it can also be a natural fertilizer.

Delay Pruning

During the winter, many individuals carelessly cut their trees. But the reality is, falling is not an optimal moment to prune your tree because due to the injury induced by pruning it can be susceptible to infection. Also, early fall pruning of your tree can encourage fresh development, but these fresh buds can be harmed by the cold season.

Do not prune your tree until it has dropped its leaves. If you couldn't prune your tree in late fall, you could do that in late winter or early spring just before the break of fresh buds.

Dead Tree Removing

A dead tree can invite insects and disease, affecting healthy trees in the vicinity and potentially your home.

Hazard Removal

Fall is a good time to remove dangerous branches by tree trimming in OKC that may fall and damage your home or cause severe damage to your body.

Removing Seedlings

A seedling or two may have sprouted near your home over the previous several months, perhaps helped by the water from your gutters. The best way to remove the seedlings is not to burrow their roots into your base, causing issues with the stability of your home.

Insect Spray

Fall is a nice time to avoid further burrowing of vermin and insects into a tree, undermining its health and stability.
