Here are tips and guidelines to ensure the tree you plant will be part of your landscape in the years to come.
Logically Located – Your tree will need room to develop its roots underground and branches above ground. Do not plant trees that will grow in areas that are too small. Also avoid planting under power or telephone lines.
A site’s suitability will dictate what kind of tree you plant. The designated site may be in the lawn, near a patio, along a street or sidewalk, in a garden, in sun or in a shaded spot. Soil may be, sandy, saline,, wet or dry, gravelly or even full of old building rubble. Whatever the situation, you will need to determine if the site is suitable for growing a healthy tree.
Consider planting for energy conservation. Deciduous trees will shade the west, south and east sides of the home in summer, and evergreen trees along the west and north edges of the lot will provide winter windbreaks.
Choose your next tree carefully. What is your need or reason for planting this tree? You may want privacy, increased property values, a windbreak, shade, fall color, flowers, fruit or a bird habitat. Perhaps you want to create a sound barrier. Combine this information with knowledge about the site.
This is a good time to call your local Top Tree arborist. We can give you the best advice we can and help point you in the best direction to plant your tree properly.
You’ll want to consider that fast-growing trees often are weak and subject to storm damage. Think about the mature size and shape of trees and learn whether their roots might invade sewer lines, lift and crack sidewalks or make bumpy lawns. Learn which trees are likely to harbor insects or diseases.
