Prior
to waving the winter season a big good-bye, inspect your trees for signs of
winter damage or disease. After that, prune dead, diseased or unsafe branches
before spring growth. Do not wait to prune in warmer weather as that may lead
to an unwelcome spread of pests and diseases.
·
Set
the stage for healthy growth of plants by removing fallen leaves, branches and
waste from your landscape. Feed your trees with all the nutrients that they
crave after winter. To help the trees in defending against pests and diseases,
a slow release fertilizer can prove to be beneficial.

For
property enhancing benefits, plant new trees to maximize energy saving. You
need to secure an ideal growing spot prior to planting. You can also improve
soil moisture and control weeds by adding 2 to 4 inches of mulch around your
trees.
Common Tree Problems Or Tree Diseases
In Spring- You need
to get to the bottom of what is actually plaguing your trees. You can discover
the most prevalent tree diseases and pests in spring by looking for brown
leaves to spots. The common tree pests to look out for in spring are Aphids and
scale insects.
Insects That Damage Trees In Spring- If you notice spots on your leaves
or the leaves are falling too soon, find out what could be causing this
problem. It can be some insects like Aphids, the resident “plant lice”, they
feed on tree leaves and stems, prevent proper nutrient and sunlight intake and
cause premature leaf drop. Another insect is “Cankerworms”, the hungry, hungry
caterpillar. Some of the other insects include “Japanese Beetle”, the extremely
troublesome “Eastern tent caterpillar”, “Bagworms”, the camouflaged critters,
etc.
Trees Only Having Leaves On One Side- It depends on what your tree was
exposed to before its lack of leaf growth- harsh weather, insufficient planting
space, a nearby construction project, etc. Sparse leaves can be attributed to abnormally
cold winter temperatures and soil moisture. Your trees can also suffer if your
pre-construction planning didn’t account for the safety of your trees. Canopy
thinning can also be attributed to “girdling roots”—which wrap around other
roots or the tree’s trunk and cut off the flow of water and nutrients. The
nutrient uptake being compromised with, affects the tree’s canopy.
