Top Myths About Tree Care

January 3, 2024

In many ways, trees can benefit your residential property. From improving energy efficiency to enhancing curb appeal, trees can upgrade your property. However, you shouldn't leap into planting them without knowing how to care for them. This blog debunks some of the top myths regarding tree care.


Trees Don't Need Regular Pruning

An incorrect belief is that because trees grow in the wild, regular pruning isn't needed for your residential trees. This is false. Regular pruning is vital for the long-term health of your trees, and great care should be taken to do it correctly. Pruning ensures proper air circulation, removes dead or dying branches, and promotes the growth of fresh, new branches. One of the biggest reasons to look into residential tree services is for tree pruning. This is why, according to IBISWorld, the United States tree trimming industry is worth around $37 billion.


Trees Can Heal Themselves

Trees can get wounded in various ways. We tend to think of our bodies, and how they generally heal themselves, and think that trees can do the same. This is typically not the case. When trees get damaged, they react in a way that shuts off resources to the damaged area. This can be detrimental and even deadly to the tree's health. Expertise is required to evaluate tree damage and provide interventions to promote healing.


Mulching Is Purely Aesthetic

Mulch rings around trees look nice, but are they just for visual appeal? No. Mulch can also help in various ways, including staving off weeds, retaining moisture, and keeping the soil at a healthy temperature. However, some dangers come with improper mulching, including the risk of root rot, which could lead to irreversible damage.


Fertilizer Is Just for New Trees

You will fertilize a new tree to promote its growth and ensure proper nutrition. However, should you stop once the tree is established? No. Proper fertilizing helps a tree at any age. The longevity and health of a tree depend on its intake of nutrients over time. It's never too late to start fertilizing a tree that has been neglected, and a nutrition routine will do wonders for your residential trees.


Not everything you hear is true, and some myths surrounding tree care can be hazardous to your residential trees. Hiring professional tree services is important to the health of your trees. Contact Nadeau Tree Service today to give your trees everything they need to thrive.
