If you have large trees on your property, you may be wondering about the best tree care tips. Healthy, thriving trees make a property look great, aDd resale value and provide shade. Here are five tree care tips to keep your trees healthy and looking great.

1. Tree Care Tip One — Know Where To Prune

You can't unscramble an egg. And you can't unprune a tree. Once you cut off a branch of prune back a tree, there is no going back in time and undoing the action. That is why a professional tree pruning expert comes in — they know exactly what to prune and what to take off. 

2. Tree Care Tip Two — Stay Safe

Yes, it's a shame to ruin a beautiful tree with the wrong pruning technique, but it's worse to injure yourself while attempting a tree pruning job. If your trees are tall, then you may need the professional help of an arborist or other tree pruning specialist. These experts are skilled and trained in using power tools and saws. 

3. Tree Care Tip Three — Keep Your Tree Growing Healthily

Trees thrive when they are properly watered, fertilised, and maintained. If you notice that the soil surrounding your tree trunk is dry or crumbling, you may need to add some mulch. Regular tree maintenance ensures that your trees remain healthy and don't rot. A good professional tree maintenance program that includes tree pruning, soil management, and fertilising will help keep your tree in good health.

4. Tree Care Tip Four — Give Mature Trees Extra Care

If you have a beautiful, mature tree, chances are it could add retail value to your property, especially if its branches add much-needed shade. Mature trees need extra care, as the height of the tree and the large diameter of the truck may require specialist pruning. Mature trees often have interlocking branches that are tricky to prune as well. If this is the case, seek the help of a professional

5. Tree Care Tip Five — Know When To Let Go

Rotting trees are a safety hazard and could affect your soil health as well. If you need a tree removed, there are professionals who are trained to do so carefully and skilfully to minimise damage.

A good tree care company will be able to help you with taking care of tree problems such as removal, pruning and felling. The above five tree care tips will help keep your trees healthy and you safe. Ask a professional for help with your tree pruning and tree care needs.
