Winter has wrapped your trees in a chilly embrace, but fear not, homeowners! It's time to embark on a magical journey of DIY winter tree care that will leave your leafy companions thriving. Let's unwrap the secrets to keeping your trees cozy and resilient during the frosty months.

Blanket your Roots with Mulch Magic: Picture mulch as a warm, snuggly blanket for your tree's roots. Gently spread a layer around the base, ensuring it doesn't touch the trunk. This winter cocoon regulates soil temperature and retains moisture, keeping your tree snug even on the coldest nights.

Winter Pruning Ballet: Embrace the art of winter pruning, where your trees don elegant winter coats. Remove dead or diseased branches to encourage healthy growth come spring. It's like giving your trees a stylish haircut to help them shine in the next season's fashion show!

Spotting Stress in Style: Become a detective in your winter wonderland! Look out for droopy limbs, discolored bark, or any signs of stress. If something seems off, don't hesitate to call in the experts. Our friends at Cartwright Tree Care are here to handle the heavy lifting and ensure your trees stay stress-free.

Snowball's Chance – Leave it Be: Resist the urge to shake snow off your tree branches, tempting as it may be for a snowy spectacle. The snow acts as a protective layer, and disturbing it could lead to unintentional tree stress or breakage. Let your trees enjoy their snowy serenity!
