Maintaining the health of your trees over the Winter can help avoid issues when the growing season resumes in Spring. This comprehensive guide offers seasonal tips and helpful strategies.
Spring
Spring brings warm weather and exciting experiences. Ann Arbor Tree Service mentioned how it’s best to “Plan a visit to Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum to view their breathtaking collection of heirloom peonies in late May or early June; or plan an afternoon cruise down Huron River at Gallup Park during Mayor’s Green Fair (an annual family-friendly event that closes Main Street to car traffic in early July for environmental information, green products and tasty local cuisine). ”
Springtime is also the time for strategic pruning and fertilization to foster robust growth for the season ahead and enhance the appearance of your landscape. Keep an eye out for pests or diseases, monitoring trees for signs, applying preventive treatments as necessary – this proactive approach to tree care helps minimize insects infestations or disease pathogens during the summer, leading to healthier trees come falltime.

Summer pruning aims at refining tree structure, targeting issues like overcrowded canopies, excessive growth or crossed branches. Pruning improves airflow while lowering risk of limb breakage from summer storms. Arborists may also intensify pest monitoring since many insects thrive during this season.
Applying mulch around the base of trees is an invaluable practice that serves multiple functions, from conserving moisture to regulating soil temperature and suppressing weed growth. Furthermore, mulch helps prepare trees for winter by keeping their root systems hydrated during their dormant period and improving resilience against cold temperatures and extreme weather.
Fall
Fall is an ideal time for bicycling around Washtenaw County. The cooler temperature and vibrant foliage make the B2B Trail and Gallup Park in Ann Arbor offering a three-mile loop dotted with colorful trees, picnic and play areas, picnic benches and play structures – not forgetting Pinckney’s Hudson Mills Silver Lake trails combined into one scenic ride!
As the growing season draws to a close, it is imperative to rake leaves and debris quickly to improve aesthetics and decrease pest and disease spread from dead leaves. Fertilizing also plays a significant role during this season – using slow release fertilizers can provide crucial nutrients to your soil for winter and springtime conditions.
Back to Nature’s dormant oil treatment is administered annually in Michigan during autumn to fortify plants against its harsh weather, protecting against wintering insects that burrow into their branches and hatch eggs; especially beneficial in protecting oak trees, elms, and maples from infestation.

Trees are essential elements in your landscape and require ongoing care and maintenance in order to thrive. By being proactive about maintenance efforts, trees can be protected against seasonal dangers while recovering more quickly after severe weather events.
