#1
Take a moment to really inspect your trees from the top to the bottom. Especially looking for any damage from snow or ice. Look for small holes, decay and dead twigs and branches. You should also look for disease and insect that may have festered, this may call for Spring treatment so it is good to catch it as early as possible.
#2
Maintain a very good upkeep on your trees throughout the entire year instead of only focusing on certain seasons. Well maintained, strong, healthy trees always do better than the weak, damaged and un-managed ones. If you have not had your trees pruned yet call your local arborist for a free assessment.
#3
Apply a good Spring Fertilizer. This should be applied before we enter our peak growing season in early spring. It replaces the nutrients and helps protect the trees due to disease, insects and stress!
