Select the right trees
for your property
For trees to thrive, they don't
require humans. Trees thrive in
the places they are planted.
However, humans can sometimes
cause damage to trees that
they’re trying to care for.
Early detection is key for a
diseased tree. You should be
aware of any changes that may
occur, from rapid discoloration
and stunted growth.
Mulch should be layered 2 to 3
inches thick. Pruning a tree is a
good idea when there are dead
limbs, or branches that have
fractured due to strong winds or
rain storms.
Choose the right tree for your
place. This means weighing how
tall and wide it will be when it
matures, how many leaves it will
shed in winter, what shape it will
take, and how fast it grows.
