Spring Tree Health: Preventative Measures for Common Issues

 

In this comprehensive and insightful video, ISA Certified Arborist Cory Herpel takes us on a journey through the intricacies of springtime maintenance in North Texas. As the weather warms up, many people are eager to turn on their sprinklers, but Cory cautions against rushing into this decision. Instead, he advises viewers to consider the region’s natural moisture during spring. This often provides sufficient water for plants and lawns. Turning on sprinklers prematurely can lead to detrimental consequences, such as the development of leaf spot diseases on vulnerable plants like Indian Hawthorns and Photinias. Moreover, grasses can suffer from diseases due to prolonged exposure to excess moisture. It creates an environment that is less than optimal for healthy growth.

Cory further highlights the potential harm of over-irrigation, particularly for native trees that prefer well-drained soil. Allowing the trees to experience a natural drying-down period benefits their root systems. It promotes robust growth and overall resilience. By letting Mother Nature run its course, homeowners can foster a more sustainable and thriving landscape.

Fertilization

Shifting the focus to fertilization, Cory reveals the opportune time to nourish trees and shrubs for exceptional results. For those who applied fertilizers in the fall or late summer, Cory suggests that spring is the perfect moment to offer additional nourishment to plants. This helps optimize shoot growth and imparts a beautiful, deep green color. This is all thanks to the nitrogen and other nutrients provided by the fertilizer. Not only does this enhance the aesthetic appeal of plants, but it also fosters better flowering and prepares them to withstand the impending summer months’ stressors, such as drought.

Cory underlines the significance of maintaining tree health through thoughtful fertilization, especially for flowering trees that require extra care. With a nourished and robustly growing plant, the likelihood of pest infestations and disease diminishes significantly. This proactive approach to lawn care ensures that plants remain healthy and vibrant throughout the entire growing season, providing immense satisfaction for gardening enthusiasts.
