It also promotes healthy growth by removing dead or damaged branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Pruning should be done in the dormant season, typically in late fall or early winter, when the tree is not actively growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-k3KuGXNFC-transformed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" width=\"554\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-k3KuGXNFC-transformed.png 1024w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-k3KuGXNFC-transformed-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-k3KuGXNFC-transformed-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Watering<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Trees need water to survive, especially during drought conditions. The general rule of thumb is to water trees once a week, providing one inch of water per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">The best time to water is early in the morning or late in the afternoon, to avoid evaporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-WFaeyA1nE-transformed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135\" width=\"554\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-WFaeyA1nE-transformed.png 1024w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-WFaeyA1nE-transformed-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-WFaeyA1nE-transformed-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Mulching<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Mulching helps to retain moisture in the soil, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree, but be careful not to pile it too high against the trunk, as this can cause rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-FE84hSK_h-transformed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136\" width=\"554\" height=\"370\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Fertilizing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Fertilizing provides trees with essential nutrients that may be lacking in the soil. However, too much fertilizer can be harmful, so it&#8217;s essential to follow the recommended dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Fertilize in the early spring or late fall, when the tree is not actively growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-W-Ru1HixO-transformed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137\" width=\"554\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-W-Ru1HixO-transformed.png 1024w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-W-Ru1HixO-transformed-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-W-Ru1HixO-transformed-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Tree Removal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Sometimes, tree removal is necessary, such as when the tree is dead or diseased, or poses a safety risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">It&#8217;s important to hire a professional tree removal service to ensure the safe and efficient removal of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-ZwvVMvQXe-transformed.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\" width=\"554\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-ZwvVMvQXe-transformed.png 1024w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-ZwvVMvQXe-transformed-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/duckstree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-ZwvVMvQXe-transformed-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Pest and Disease Control<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:800\">Trees are susceptible to pests and diseases, which can cause serious damage if left untreated.
