Summertime Newsletter: Tree Care, Firewood Storage Tips and Preparing for Fall
Greetings Firewood Enthusiasts!
As the summer sun shines brightly, it’s the perfect time to ensure your firewood trees are well cared for. Proper tree care during these warmer months can help maintain the health of your trees and prepare them for a bountiful harvest of firewood come fall. Here are some tips and updates to keep your trees in top shape:
1. Water Wisely:
- Deep Watering: With the summer heat, your trees need extra hydration. Make sure to water deeply at the base of the tree rather than just a light surface watering. This encourages deep root growth and helps your trees withstand drought conditions.
- Mulch Matters: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Be sure to keep mulch away from the trunk to avoid potential rot.
2. Check for Pests and Diseases:
- Regular Inspections: Take time to inspect your trees for any signs of pests or diseases. Look for unusual spots on leaves, wilting branches, or signs of insect infestations.
- Early Action: If you spot any problems, address them promptly. Consult with a local arborist if you’re unsure how to handle specific issues.
3. Pruning and Maintenance:
- Summer Pruning: Light pruning during summer can help improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Remove any dead or damaged branches to keep your trees healthy.
- Safety First: If you need to prune large branches, consider hiring a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
4. Prepare for Fall:
Planning Ahead: As summer winds down, start planning for the upcoming firewood season. Assess which trees are ready to be cut for firewood and schedule your cutting accordingly.
Storage Tips: Ensure you have a dry, well-ventilated space to store your firewood. Proper seasoning and storage are key to having quality firewood ready for use.
