Even the hardiest trees can be susceptible to certain winter\nweather conditions. Some of the harshest inclement weather conditions Indiana\nlandscapes are subjective to each year include snowfall, ice accumulation,\nhail, heavy winds, and cold temperatures. Fortunately, there are several things\nyou can do to ensure your trees can withstand such inclement weather and\nclimates, and enter their spring growth spurt with optimal energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter Tree Protection<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
In the winter, some of the most commonly-affected trees are\nyoung trees, newly planted trees, and sick or dying trees. The best method for\nprotecting these kinds of trees is staking. Tree staking involves inserting a\nset of wooden or metal stakes in the ground alongside the tree\u2019s trunk, and\nthen attaching the tree to the stakes with tree-safe string or rope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This setup provides stability in the midst of harsh winds\nand heavy snow accumulation. Even healthy and mature trees can benefit from\nwinter tree staking. Larger trees, especially those that are sick or dead, must\nbe cabled and braced, which is essentially the same concept, but with heavier hardware\nand materials. See our blog, \u201cShould\nI Stake My Trees?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about this highly-recommended tree care\npractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from bracing your trees for heavy winds and snow, you\nwant to also insulate them against the cold winter temperatures. There are a few\nways you can provide insulation for your trees. The easiest method is mulching.\nAlways be sure your trees have enough mulch around their base to keep all that\nwarmth and moisture underneath them. Furthermore, you can use burlap wrapping\naround the base of tree trunks to give an extra layer of insulation. This approach\nis generally reserved for young trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the spring and fall, it is important to keep your\nlandscaping trees properly pruned. Proper pruning will play an important role in\nhow well your trees can withstand inclement weather come winter. Without proper\npruning, trees experience branch overgrowth and over-development, which puts them\nat risk of breaking as a result of heavy snow and ice accumulation. By staying current\non pruning, you can prevent branch and limb breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Timberland Tree Care at 317-348-0811<\/strong> to schedule your needed Indianapolis tree services<\/a> for your residential or commercial property.
