1. Maintenance and Sanitary Pruning
-Recommendation: September is ideal for pruning dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Pruning at this time strengthens the tree's structure, reduces the risk of falling branches, and promotes healthy growth in the upcoming season. Regular maintenance pruning also helps shape the tree, improves air circulation, and allows more sunlight to reach the inner branches, which is crucial for the overall health of the tree. By addressing these issues in September, you help your trees prepare for winter, minimizing the chances of damage during storms or heavy snowfall.
2. Tree Health Assessment
- Recommendation: Before the frost arrives, it's wise to conduct a health assessment to identify any diseases or damage that could worsen over the winter. Early diagnosis allows for preventive measures to be taken, ensuring the tree remains strong and healthy through the colder months.
3. Tree Fertilization
- Recommendation: Applying fertilizers in September can help strengthen the roots before winter, ensuring that trees have the necessary nutrients to survive the cold and grow vigorously in the spring.
4. Winter Preparation
- Recommendation: Services such as mulching around the base of trees help protect the roots from extreme cold. It's also a good time to ensure that young trees are securely staked, if needed.
These services are crucial for maintaining the health and safety of your trees, preparing both private and commercial properties for the harsher winter conditions ahead.
