Blog The Essential Guide to Seasonal Tree Care with Braun Tree Service Feb 08, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your trees. Proper care and attention throughout the year will ensure that your trees stay healthy and beautiful. At Braun Tree Service, we are here to provide you with the essential guide to seasonal tree care.

Spring

Spring is a season of growth and renewal, and it's the perfect time to assess the health of your trees. Inspect them for any signs of disease or damage, such as dead branches or split bark. Prune any dead or diseased branches to prevent further spreading. It's also important to mulch around the base of your trees to retain moisture and deter weeds.

Summer

The hot summer months can be tough on trees, so it's essential to provide them with proper hydration. Deep watering is recommended, as it encourages the development of deep, strong roots. Avoid excessive pruning during this time, as it can weaken the tree and make it more susceptible to sunburn.

Fall

Fall is a beautiful season, but it also brings falling leaves and changing temperatures. Regularly rake up fallen leaves to prevent them from suffocating your trees and acting as a breeding ground for pests. This is also a good time to assess the overall health of your trees and schedule any necessary professional pruning or trimming.

Winter

Winter can be harsh on trees, especially with the potential for heavy snow and ice. To protect your trees from winter damage, consider wrapping their trunks with burlap or installing tree wraps. This will insulate them from extreme temperatures and prevent cracking. It's also important to prune any weak or overhanging branches that could pose a risk of falling.

While the changing seasons require specific care, it's important to remember that tree care is a year-round responsibility. Regular inspections by a professional arborist can help identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems.
