Phenology is the study of recurring biological events and their relationship to the changing seasons. In terms of trees, it involves understanding how trees respond to seasonal variations in temperature, sunlight, and rainfall. This knowledge can help you anticipate and address the needs of your trees, ensuring they stay healthy all year round.
Spring is a critical time for trees as it marks the beginning of the growing season. As temperatures rise and daylight hours increase, trees come out of dormancy and start to grow new leaves, flowers, and roots. Spring is the ideal time for tree planting and fertilization. At Braun Tree Service, we recommend a soil test before adding any fertilizer so that you can tailor your approach based on the specific nutrient needs of your trees.
With summer comes a season of energy. Trees are often at their fullest and can provide ample shade and beauty. However, they also face threats from pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions like drought. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, is essential. This is also the best time for pest management. Our expert technicians at Braun Tree Service can inspect your trees for signs of infestation and recommend effective treatment plans to protect them.
Autumn brings a spectacular display of colors as leaves change and fall. This is a time of preparation for trees as they begin to enter dormancy. Leaf cleanup and proper mulching are important tasks, as they prevent fungal diseases and insulate tree roots against cold temperatures. Fall is also the perfect time to prune your trees. Pruning when trees are dormant encourages healthy growth in the spring and reduces the risk of diseases.
Winter is a time of rest for trees, but it doesn't mean they should be neglected. Frost and wind can be harsh on trees. Protective measures, such as installing windbreaks or wrapping trunks of young or vulnerable trees, can prevent damage. It's important to inspect your trees for any broken or weakened limbs that could pose a risk in harsh weather, and Braun Tree Service is happy to assist with such inspections to prevent potential hazards.
