Tree Management Plans: Keeping it Healthy 

With beautiful green leaves and dark shades, trees continue to offer lovely surroundings. Australia has several native trees that any nature-loving person would love to preserve. Landscape designers and homeowners can benefit from knowing how to care for and manage them. Many trees are stunning and beautify a huge landscape.

The City of Melbourne manages more than 70,000 trees. While there are several reasons for maintaining trees in homes and towns, the real benefits go beyond aesthetics. Trees offer many social, economic, and environmental benefits to a community for small comparative investment.

●     Plant the right tree right where they belong

Choose a tree suitable for your area, then find the ideal spot to get enough sunlight and provide sufficient space for its full-grown canopy. Before you dig, Please be sure that it's not too close to underground utility lines, power lines, or your home. Last but not the least, don't plant your tree too deeply.

●     Give them enough water.

Just like any other plant, trees need watering too. If it hasn't rained for weeks, check your tree and see if it needs a drink. Commonly, mature trees need an inch of water weekly. In contrast, new trees need 4 to 10 gallons a week in their first growing season.

●     Mulch

Mulch insulates the roots of the trees, reduces the weeds, and keeps the soil moisturized. Moreover, it protects them from lawn mower cuts. Help your tree get these benefits by removing unwanted grass underneath the tree, then spread 2-to-4 inches of mulch. You must not cover the base of the trunk. This is a small act that can cause great benefits to your growing season. Mulch materials can range from brown mulch such as newspaper, shredded leave, and wood chips to green mulch like herbs and manure.

●     Fertilize your trees when needed

 Trees are sturdy. However, that doesn't stop nutrient deficiencies from trying to shake them. Fertilization supports tree growth and contributes to a tree's overall vitality.

●     Protect the trunk

Bumping into trees with lawnmowers may cause damage to the bark and trunk of the tree. It makes their structure weak while inviting insects, pests, and diseases. Young trees are particularly vulnerable but can be protected with plastic wraps available at garden centers and nurseries.

●     Pruning and trimming

Pruning is used to cut unnecessary branches, and trimming promotes healthy growth. Sometime between fall and spring, your trees need pruning and trimming. You consult your local arborist about the proper way of doing these methods for the best results.
