Caring for our Trees on #theother5th
1. Trees need water 20-25 gallons a week March to October.
2. Keep the bed clean of trash, weeds & pet waste.
3. Mulch March & October, leave a ring of mulch free space
around the trunk. Remove old before adding fresh mulch.
Mulch absorbs de-icing salt & animal waste.
4. Plant small plants & bulbs 3 feet from trunk.
5. Select plants that can deal with a harsh environment and
need less water. Installing a shallow rooted garden will
remind you to water your tree bed and reduce soil
compaction. Installing too many plants will deprive your
tree of water and nutrients.
6. Take out bricks and stones and don’t raise the level of soil
too high. Tree roots need oxygen.
7.Install a tree guard if you can.
8. Keep your dog out of the tree bed please.
