Plant New Trees
There are some pretty simple steps to planting new trees in the Tri-Cities area. First, select the right time of year. You will not want to plant a tree at the very end of the growing season. Second, you will want to double check with any local requirements for digging. This included anything near telephone poles and cable boxes.

The third thing to do is choose a tree that is suitable for the region, climate, and space. Next, you will want to prepare the whole in which you’re going to plant the tree. Next, prepare the tree for planting. Nextly, put the tree in the hole, fill with dirt, and surround the base of the tree with mulch. Be sure not to overwater.

Prune Dead Branches

Rookie tree-pruners and people who have their home gardens tend to leave too much of the stub when pruning off branches. Once the stub dies off, it creates an easy gateway for disease pathogens and destructive insects to enter into the tree and wreak havoc.

Fortunately, making the proper pruning cut on a dead branch is much easier than de-limbing a live branch from a young tree. That is because you can tell between the dead wood and the live stalk much easier, as a ring of swollen tree flesh encircles the area in which living tree becomes dead branch. This circle is known as the “collar.” The collar serves as a natural defense system.

When cutting off a dead branch, a perfect, flush cuts should occur just outside the collar, leaving as little of a stub as possible, but without damaging or removing any part of the collar (the natural defense barrier).

Inspect Your Trees & Shrubs

You will want to keep an eye out for numerous things that can damage your trees and shrubs. Or at least identify things that could potentially impede growth and health. During times of heavy snow and rain, you would want to where water could accumulate. Since this has been a pretty dry winter, this may not be a concern. However, when you start using your sprinkler system, water accumulation could still be an issue to watch.

Other Areas To Inspect
You will want to inspect other areas of your trees and shrubs as well. You will want to find hollow trunks or small holes in the trunks of your trees. You will also want to search for decay, cankers, cracks, or fungal activity. There are also dead limbs, twigs, and branches to keep an eye out for.
