Proper Tree Planting Is the Key to a Healthy Landscape
Planting a tree is more involved than just digging a hole and plopping in a seedling, especially when you love cherries and want a tree to produce fruit. Not only do you need to choose the right type of tree (cherry trees alone have more than 1,200 varieties!), but long-term tree health requires proper soil preparation and fertilization to support the root system.
For this project, we helped the homeowners select the perfect tree and location where it would thrive while also providing landscape enhancement. We then took care of the actual tree planting process, digging the hole to the proper depth and carefully putting the young tree in place. By planting the tree in the fall, it had time to settle in and develop stronger roots before the harsh winter in Connecticut set in.
Arbor Green Tree Service LLC Supports Tree Health Even After Planting
Newly planted trees need extra TLC to grow strong. Fruit trees in particular require plenty of water and fertilizer to ensure they produce plenty of fruit.
For this project, we left the homeowners with detailed information and instructions on how often and how much to water the fragile tree planting, how to protect it during cold weather, and signs of trouble to watch for. The customers are delighted with their new tree and the help they got from Arbor Green Tree Service LLC. They can’t wait to pick their first crop of fresh cherries.
