Spring is the perfect time of the year to care for your trees after winter. Learn how to prepare them for the next months ahead to ensure their healthy growth.
After a long, cold and wet winter, the sun begins to shine, and flowers start to bloom. Your garden slowly becomes alive with warmer and longer days which influences the growth of leaves.
It is essential to know how to prepare your trees and plants for Spring and making sure they don’t break or fall over and keep them healthy during summer.

1. Potential Tree Damage
Strong winter and spring winds can affect the health and appearance of your trees. In addition, heavy branches can detach or break off, causing damages to your property, home and public areas. Also, dead rotting branches can spread throughout the tree like an infection. It can also attract pests which can impact the health of your tree.
By contacting Marc Doyle Treework, you will ensure little, or no deadwood will be left to fall.

Fertilising helps maintain the existing growth and health of your trees. It gives them the essentials nutrients and helps reduce the risks of diseases and pests. Overall, using a fertiliser can have a positive effect on the other plants in your garden.
