Tree Care Tips for a Thriving Garden

Maintaining the health and vitality of your trees is a year-round task. Each season brings unique challenges and opportunities for ensuring your garden flourishes. At Sunshine Coast Tree Services, we've compiled essential seasonal tree care tips to keep your green haven in top condition.

Spring

As the days lengthen and temperatures rise, trees awaken from winter dormancy. Spring is the ideal time for:

1. Pruning:

Trimming away dead or damaged branches promotes healthy growth and shapes the tree.

2. Mulching:

Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil.

3. Fertilizing:

Provide a nutrient boost to support vigorous spring growth.

Summer

Longer, warmer days demand extra attention to tree health. Here's what to focus on during summer:

1. Hydration:

Ensure an adequate water supply, especially during heatwaves, to prevent dehydration.

2. Pest Control:

Keep an eye out for pests and address any infestations promptly.

3. Sun Protection:

Shield young or sensitive trees from excessive sun exposure to prevent sunscald.

Autumn

As temperatures cool and leaves fall, it's time to prepare your trees for winter:

1. Leaf Removal:

Clear fallen leaves promptly to prevent fungal diseases.

2. Deep Watering:

Give your trees a deep watering before the winter chill sets in.

3. Inspection:

Conduct a thorough inspection for signs of disease or damage.

Winter

Even in milder climates, winter requires attention to certain aspects of tree care:

1. Pruning (Late Winter):

Complete any necessary pruning before new growth begins.

2. Protection from Frost:

Shield sensitive trees from frost by covering them during cold nights.

3. Planning:

Use winter to plan and envision any changes or additions to your garden.
