Tree Health Tips & Tricks

Trees can be beautiful and very rewarding when positioned in the right spot – a delight for people to see and enjoy.

But like all other living things, they require care and tending to. Some trees more than others, and some are almost a ‘set and forget’ type of tree species.


Gain further understanding on the key requirements of your tree species from an experienced arborist who offers arboriculture services in the Northern Beaches, so you can maximize the benefits of trees, foliage and plants all around your home and yard!

Let’s talk about some of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to tree care.


Tips On How To Care For Your Trees

An arborist in the Northern Beaches can assist with a specialised or tailored tree care plan, however here are some basic things you can implement in your usual routine quite easily:


· Regularly mulch to help the growth and protection of your trees, along with keeping weeds at bay

· Take account of your watering, especially with potted plants/trees. Some plants don’t like wet feet and others like an excess of water. Get some guidance from an arborist in the Northern Beaches if you need advice on the species and how often/how much to water

· Fertilise and feed when required and take note of how the tree or plant responds

· Inspect your trees regularly for any abnormalities and treat accordingly without delay


An arborist in the Northern Beaches can assist with your tree care and arboriculture service requirements.


· Things To Avoid Doing To Your Trees

So we know now what to do to help look after our trees ourselves or with the help of an arborist in the Northern Beaches.

But what about what NOT to do?


Along with tips on how to look after trees, there are also some clear ‘no-no’s’ when it comes to tree care and arboriculture services in the Northern Beaches:


· Too much mulch close to the tree trunk – applying too much mulch can suffocate a tree and cause root flare. Northern Beaches Arborist recommends leaving some breathing space for young trees and established trees

· Tying dogs to trees – although the dog may seem harmless, it could cause damage to tree bark, leaving it open to infestations

· Pruning trees in the wrong season – not only does this affect overall growth and tree health, it can cause the tree to become weak. You want to be focusing your tree pruning or trimming on times when your trees are dormant, not when they’re focusing on building up their nutrients

· Incorrect staking of a tree – too much staking or guiding of a tree can cause abnormal growth and damage
