The hot Australian summer can be harsh on your trees, and providing the proper care to keep them healthy is essential. Melbourne tree arborists from The Yard recommend regular watering, especially during extreme heat. Deep watering is crucial, as it encourages roots to grow deeper and more muscular, making trees more resilient to drought. Ensure to water early or late in the evening to prevent rapid evaporation.
Mulching around the base of the tree is another practical tip. It helps retain moisture in the soil and keeps the roots cool. Choose organic mulch like wood chips or bark, improving soil health over time. Pruning dead or damaged branches can also prevent additional stress on your trees and reduce the risk of disease.
If you notice that a tree starts showing signs of stress, such as wilting leaves or yellowing, it could indicate a serious tree problem. Early intervention is vital; calling a professional arborist can help identify and treat underlying issues before they become more severe.
Following these tree care tips ensures your trees stay healthy and thrive, even in the harsh Australian summer.
