4. TREE MAINTENANCE
TREES PROVIDE US WITH SO MUCH, SHADE, CLEAR
AIR, MODERATE TEMPERATURES AND A BEAUTIFUL
ENVIRONMENT. IN ORDER TO ENJOY ALL GIFTS THAT
TREES HAVE TO OFFER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO MAINTAIN THEM.
THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT AND SIMPLE ASPECT OF
TREE MAINTENANCE IS WATERING. A STANDARD 6 FEET
OR 2 METRE TREE REQUIRES AT LEAST 30 LITRES OF
WATER A WEEK. WHAT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD IS THAT
YOUNG TREES ARE NOT ABLE TO TAP INTO THE
UNDERGROUND WATER SUPPLY, DUE TO LACK OF DEEP
ROOTS. THEREFORE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO WATER YOUNG
TREES AT PROPER INTERVALS.

7. THE METHOD OF WATERING TREES SHOULD BE SLOW AND DEEP.
AVOID WATERING DURING THE DAY (ESPECIALLY AROUND NOON), AS
A LOT OF WATER TENDS TO EVAPORATE, INSTEAD TRY WATERING
EARLY IN THE DAY OR LATER IN THE EVENING. ANOTHER IMPORTANT
THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT ONCE THE TREE HAS BEEN PLANTED IN
THE GROUND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER WATER THE TREE.
AFTER AROUND 4 YEARS THE WATERING CAN BE REDUCED
GRADUALLY.
ANOTHER THING TO BE VIGILANT OF, IN THE CASE OF YOUNG TREES
AT LEAST IS WEEDS. WEEDS COMPETE FOR WATER AND NUTRIENTS
IN THE SOIL, AND HINDER THE GROWTH OF YOUNG TREES, SO IT IS
NECESSARY TO PERIODICALLY CARRY OUT WEEDING. ADDING MULCH
(A MIXTURE OF NATURAL, ORGANIC MATERIALS LIKE WOOD
CHIPS, DRY LEAVES, WOOD CHIPS, ETC) HELPS IN INCREASING
MOISTURE, FERTILITY AND INSULATING SOIL ALONG WITH INHIBITING
THE GROWTH OF WEED. THE MULCH SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY
COMPOSTED, SO THAT IT DOES NOT LEACH NITROGEN FROM THE
SOIL WHILE DECOMPOSING. THE MULCH SHOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM

10. CERTAIN YOUNG TREES HAVE WEAK-STALKS AND SO
THEIR TRUNK TENDS TO BEND. STAKING SUCH TREES
CAN HELP IN MAINTAIN PROPER STRUCTURE AS WELL
AS CONTROL OVER GROWTH OF THE TREE. ALSO IN
PLACES WHERE ANIMALS LIKE CATS OR DOGS ROAM
FREE; ADDING A GUARD RAIL AROUND THE
PERIMETER FURTHER FACILITATES TREE
MAINTENANCE.
INSPECTING A TREE'S HEALTH IS A PROFESSIONAL'S-
JOB BUT THERE ARE A FEW SIGNS THAT CAN TELL OF
A TREES HEALTH. IF THE GROWTH OF A TREE IS LESS
AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS, IT COULD BE A
SIGN OF LACK OF PROPER NUTRITION OR WATER, OR
DISEASE AND POOR HEALTH. SMALLER LEAVES CAN
