Taking Care Of Your New Tree- Outdoor Pros

A sapling that has just been planted needs extra attention to make sure it thrives in its new home. When you move a tree, it can be very upsetting for the tree. Is it going to lose leaves? Is it going to change? Is it going to be affected by temperature changes and other things? Because of this, your tree has a good chance of living. You can take care of your young sapling to make sure it grows into a strong, full-grown tree. If you read our last blog, you might remember that we talked about how much care we take when we plant trees at Outdoor pros Service. We can’t wait to help you put trees all over your landscape. And we’re here to help you keep the health of the trees you just planted. Let’s look at some ways that you can make sure your tree grows.

As we said last time, it’s important that your tree gets the right amount of fertilizer. Trees, like all plants, need food to grow. This is why we add fertilizer to the backfill dirt we use every time we do this. But as your tree gets older, you’ll need to make sure that your tree gets enough fertilizer for the rest of its life. For the first few years, it’s a good idea to feed the roots of your tree once a year. Hire a landscaping company that can help you with your yard work. Your tree care provider can check the quality of the soil around your trees. Mixtures of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus may be added to help your trees grow.

Young trees are thirsty. When you move a tree, the soil around it can be very dry, making it hard for roots to grow. You’ll have to water your tree so that its roots don’t get hurt. If you have just planted a tree, water it twice a day or as your tree care provider says. Cut back on how often you water your plants for the next two weeks. Only water once a day. For two weeks, you can water the tree once a week. Watering helps to make the soil around the tree more dense. This gives the tree the structure it needs. In addition, when you plant a tree, some of its roots will be cut. This means that your tree will need extra water to repair these roots and get back on track with its normal growth process. To keep your tree alive and healthy, you’ll have to water it less when its roots spread out.

New trees often need help. A little wind or a lot of rain can cause your tree to fall down. As a safety measure, you can strap your new tree to posts (or we can do it for you!). To keep your tree in place, you’ll need to drive a few landscaping posts into the ground. Then, you’ll use wire or rope (wire is the most common) and a tree strap to keep the tree from moving because of wind and weather. Make sure to use straps, because they’re meant to protect the bark of trees.
