Tips For Preparing Trees For Winter
✅ Prune
Trees require regular pruning to minimize potential damage during ice and snowstorms. Pruning is an art – when done well, your trees will thrive, when done poorly, your trees could face a catastrophe.
✅ Mulch
Ensure you have a 2" - 3 " layer of mulch around trees and shrubs. Pro Tip: Make sure to expose the root flare, keeping the mulch 2" - 3" away from tree trunks and shrub crowns.
✅ Turn Your Irrigation System Off
Save water and money while ensuring diseases aren't developed due to excessive irrigation.
✅ Water Before Freeze
Watering trees and shrubs before a forecast freeze will hold heat in the soil!
