The ice and snow are finally melting away and the outdoor world, dormant all winter long, is waking at last to another growing season. The leaves will soon be rustling in the wind, providing character to your beloved trees, as well as shade and beauty to the landscape of your property. Your arborists at Cohen & Master stand ready to care for your trees and shrubs, ensuring their health, safety and beauty.
Now is the time to create a tree and shrub care plan:
Remove dead and diseased trees and shrubs.
Prune your trees and shrubs for health and structure.
Fertilize trees and shrubs this spring for optimum health, vigor and colour.
Plant a new tree for your enjoyment today and for future generations.
Something we often ask our clients to consider at this time of year is the tree below the ground. The canopy, branches and leaves of a tree naturally draw most of our attention but we should remember that this is only a portion of the tree structure. A good tree requires strong and healthy roots. We like to offer this reminder as many of the tree problems that we see are related to a root issue. Roots are often compromised in the city by poor soil conditions, physical barriers, and construction activity. Spring and summer are the time to build, renovate and landscape in Canada and too often we see the root zones of trees irreversibly damaged during this process. This can simply be avoided if the proper tree protection measures are put in place. Another root problem that we frequently see develops when new trees are improperly planted. Roots become greatly affected and the new tree will never thrive if planted too deep in the soil, left in the wire and burlap, or “volcano-mulched” too high and too close to the main stem. Talk to your Cohen & Master arborist about the roots of your trees. We offer tree protection plans and expert tree planting.
