DOS & DONTS

2. Taking Care of a tree is equally challenging as baby care. As like a new-born
baby, tree can’t apprise the issues going on or supposed to go, one has to read
its countenance and it requires year’s long study in arboriculture and
professional experience.

3. For a passionate homemaker, Backyard and its plantation & lawn are one of the
high interest part. That is the reason, few people treat themselves as arborists
and play with trees and their life as well. Nurturing a lawn and small plants in
your backyard is totally a different story than giant tree.
I advise a professional tree company, DIY instead. However, if you want to do it
then don’t forget to go through the dos and don’ts tips below.

5. For
Don’t prune or cut the tree which is too close to power
lines. It could be a life threatening electrocute event or
resulting in power cut if a limb falls on a power line. Call
your city service and they will do it for free of cost. If
you are living in Anaheim or surrounding area then call
Southern California Edison.
Don’t use chain saw when you are on a ladder. Avoid
pruning tree or branch of the tree that needs chain saw
and a ladder. Leave it to experts.

6. For
Do check distance between trees. Roots grow two to
four times of the diameter of the tree crown. Planting
trees too close to each other may affect the overall
growth of trees’ roots and ultimately the tree.
Do plant native trees for the area you are living. It needs
minimal effort and maximize the greenery around you.
Spending time on cultivating trees those are unfriendly
with the soil and weather of your area is never been a
good idea.

7. For
Do prune 25 percent or less of the tree’s foliage in growing
season.
Do remove broken or damaged limbs or branches regular
basis. It is like cleaning a house daily. Special attention
required after storm or heavy winds. Contact your
insurance agency if tree is fallen on your vehicle or
property. Cleaning up the scene before survey could be the
reason for claim rejection.

8. For
Do prune your tree in winter that helps to grow the tree
in spring but prune after coldest days of the season
passed.
Don’t over-water your tree. Adequate water is a basic
need but over-watering it is an invitation for decaying
or pest raid.
Don’t prune a tree that is not older than one year.
Tree

9. For
Don’t be a superhero when there is a giant tree in your
back yard. Trimming or cutting or removal of such a
tree may cause to serious injury or damage to property
or vehicles.
