Ever found yourself curious as to how trees make it through the winter? Here at ArborScape, we know the importance of year-round tree care and even offer winter tree care to ensure to safety and health of your tree.
While some trees seem to last all year long, many lose their leaves and appear dead in the winter. But that’s just a natural part of a tree’s cycle. But No matter the species of tree, winter tree care here in Denver is vital!
How your tree fares in the winter is what will determine its health throughout the growing season. So don’t forget to get your trees the winter care they need before it’s too late.
After being in business as a Colorado-owned company for over 20 years, our certified arborists know a thing or two about what it takes to provide exemplary tree care for the area all year round. Our winter tree care ensures healthy revitalization come springtime.
Winter Tree Care Necessities
For instance, one of our winter tree care services includes winter pruning. We’ve mentioned before how winter pruning helps promote new growth, but it also helps prevent the spreading of diseases due to a tree’s dormancy.
Some of these diseases can include fireblight, dutch elm disease, and hawthorn rust. Luckily these diseases go dormant when the tree does, so pruning at that point allows us to dive in and remove the diseases before they further damage your tree.
Another little tidbit to know is that due to the extra energy reserves the trees have stored for the winter, their branches are able to heal quicker just before beginning to grow again.
But which trees exactly are in need of this specific type of winter tree care? Well, the main ones to look out for would be apple trees and any of their relatives. Not to mention other fruit trees such as pear and peach trees. There are also non-fruit trees that need pruning in winter such as elms, oaks, and hawthorns.
If you have any of the above trees, you may want to consider letting us prune them for you when the timing is right so they can experience the full winter tree care that ArborScape has to offer.
Another important winter tree care service that we offer is winter watering. The amount of precipitation trees get in the winter determines their growing season.
And no matter how much snow we get, we’re still considered a high plains desert, which means we have sandy and silty soils, high winds, and drastic temperature fluctuation. So it’s vital for your trees to get the proper amount of water to ensure a healthy start into the growing season.
