Tree care calander

 

Time frames are approximate, variations occur due to difference in the weather every year.

 

January and February is a good time for pruning most trees, making it easier to identify structural problems or dead wood.

 

When the ground thaws, usually by mid to late March, we can begin Root care fertilization of trees and shrubs with our slow release fertilizer.

 

April and May mark the beginning of the growing season, and is when we begin monitoring plant development and weather conditions in order to time our pesticide applications.

 

Evergreens are pruned in June or July after the new growth is completed, and is when symptoms of leaf diseases such as Oak Wilt begin to appear on infected trees.

 

August, September, and October are good months to apply systemic insecticides that will prevent infestations next year because the plants are building crowns and root stems as the top growth slows down.

 

In November and December we continue tree and shrub fertilization until the ground freezes. Our slow release Root care Fertilization formula will not promote unwanted late season growth.
