Tree caring Dos and Don’ts
Taking Care of a tree is equally challenging as baby care. As like a new-born baby, tree can’t apprise the issues going on or supposed to go, one has to read its countenance and it requires year’s long study in arboriculture and professional experience.
For a passionate homemaker, Backyard and its plantation
& lawn are one of the high interest part. That is the reason, few people
treat themselves as arborists and play with trees and their life as well.
Nurturing a lawn and small plants in your backyard is totally a different story
than giant tree. I advise a professional
tree company, DIY instead. However, if you want to do it then don’t forget
to go through the dos and don’ts tips below.
For you
Do wear safety
glasses, gloves, long pants, full sleeves.
Do climb a tree
only if you wear climbing spikes.
Do check wind
speed before climbing on a tree. Avoid tree trimming or pruning in heavy wind
or stormy weather.
Don’t prune or cut
the tree which is too close to power lines. It could be a life threatening electrocute
event or resulting in power cut if a limb falls on a power line. Call your city
service and they will do it for free of cost. If you are living in Anaheim or
surrounding area then call Southern California Edison.

Don’t use chain
saw when you are on a ladder. Avoid pruning tree or branch of the tree that
needs chain saw and a ladder. Leave it to experts.
For Tree
Do check distance
between trees. Roots grow two to four times of the diameter of the tree crown.
Planting trees too close to each other may affect the overall growth of trees’
roots and ultimately the tree.
Do plant native
trees for the area you are living. It needs minimal effort and maximize the
greenery around you. Spending time on cultivating trees those are unfriendly
with the soil and weather of your area is never been a good idea.
Do prune your
tree in winter that helps to grow the tree in spring but prune after coldest
days of the season passed.
Do prune 25
percent or less of the tree’s foliage in growing season.
Do remove broken
or damaged limbs or branches regular basis. It is like cleaning a house daily.
Special attention required after storm or heavy winds. Contact your insurance
agency if tree is fallen on your vehicle or property. Cleaning up the scene
before survey could be the reason for claim rejection.
Don’t over water
your tree. Adequate water is a basic need but over watering it is an invitation
for decaying or pest raid.
Don’t be a
superhero when there is a giant tree in your back yard. Trimming or cutting or
removal of such a tree may cause to serious injury or damage to property or
vehicles. Call Anaheim’s professional arborist at (657) 226-1245 and ask
for free on-site inspection and a no-obligation estimate.
Don’t prune a
tree that is not older than one year.
