Caring for large trees ensures they remain healthy and beautiful for decades.
Watering:
Mature trees need deep watering, particularly during dry summers. Shallow watering encourages weak roots.
Pruning:
Regular pruning helps maintain shape, remove dead branches, and promote airflow. Always use clean, sharp tools.
Fertilising:
Apply suitable fertiliser in spring to support growth. Avoid over-fertilising, which can stress the tree.
Pest and Disease Monitoring:
Check leaves, bark, and roots for signs of pests or disease. Early detection prevents major issues.
Structural Support:
Some trees may need staking or cabling to support heavy branches or correct lean.
