Bloom or Bust: May Must-Dos for Your Trees

April showers bring May flowers … and new concerns for your trees! As we welcome spring weather and new growth, here are some key tree care services you might want to consider this month:

Get a tree assessment —  If your tree isn’t blooming like it should, it could be a sign of environmental stress, nutrient deficiencies or even disease. As soon as you notice something isn’t right, give us a call and we’ll help you diagnose the issue and propose a solution. We recommend routine tree inspections twice a year to catch problems before they get out of hand. 

Take care of your crabapples — A fungus known as apple scab can take hold in the spring and cause your trees to lose a large number of leaves. Protect your crapapples and avoid leaf loss by scheduling an appointment with us to spray your trees. We use the most environmentally-friendly fertilization practices possible to promote holistic plant health.

Consider deep root fertilization — Last year’s drought was devastating for plants in Central Ohio. If you want to give your trees extra strength this summer, consider scheduling deep root fertilization. In addition to improving the health of your soil, this can help protect against disease and pests all summer long.

Rely on us for storm support — If spring winds leave your trees damaged or destroyed, we’re here to help. We offer rapid-response storm damage control to get your property looking like new in no time. Additionally, if you have any at-risk trees, we can help bolster them with cabling and bracing so they’re ready to weather summer storms.
