All trees need water to survive. Each species requires a specific amount and frequency for optimal health; however, location, environmental conditions, and weather directly impact these needs. For this reason, drought can be especially dangerous for urban trees outside the natural forest setting, making meticulous tree care during a drought essential.

Tree Trimming Is Crucial
With
larger trees always keep in mind your local tree requirements. Trees must be trimmed
to a certain distance from sidewalks, driveways and especially electrical
lines. If a tree is planted too close to these things and it can’t be fixed
through trimming, it may need to be moved to a new location. Our arborists in
your area can educate you on local requirements and what options are available.
Its
also important to know that mature trees require regular trimming to get rid of
dead branches, diseased areas and to make room for new growth. With larger
trees, it is vital to maintain the weight of branches. Trimming can help to
avoid snapping and breaking of larger branches. Arborwell arborists know how to
properly trim trees so they stay at optimal health.
Be Smart with Water Use
There
is a big difference between the water needs of young trees vs old trees. While
a young tree needs frequent watering as it is growing very quickly, larger
trees benefit from less frequent, yet deep and soaking irrigation. The best
form of irrigation for a large tree is soaker hoses, which provide slow
watering. Speak with our arborists about what type of irrigation is best for
your tree.
Be Vigilant about Pest Control
Large
trees have much more foliage than smaller trees and it can take longer to
notice pest infestations. Because larger trees grow much slower and it can be
more difficult to identify pests, there is a greater chance of devastating infestations.
Our arborists know how to identify and prevent pests from damaging your trees.
