Hurricane Tree Safety Tips:

Correct pruning is the most important part of helping trees survive hurricanes. Train young trees so they develop a sturdy, well-spaced framework of healthy branches along a dominant trunk. Maintain this form as far up into the tree as possible by reducing the length of competing stems and branches.

For trees larger than about 15 feet tall, hire Southern 401 Tree Service INC to prune your trees before the hurricane season. We will remove dead branches that can fall on houses, cars, and people. Overly long branches should be shortened and branches with cracks removed or shortened. Branches with the same diameter as the trunk will be shortened and the outer edges (not the interior) of the canopy will be thinned, making your tree less likely to be blown over. Low branches that are close to your roof should be removed or shortened, as well. Be sure to have your trees evaluated by a professional about every two years.

Heavy rain 🌧️ is in the forecast how does this affect your 🌲 🌳???

⭐️ When your soil becomes supersaturated, that water replaces the oxygen in the soil. This stresses the tree because tree roots need oxygen to function properly.

⭐️ If your tree is healthy, you may not see a lot of visible tree problems caused by excess water💧 .

⭐️ But if you have waterlogged soil, you may have a tree that is deprived of oxygen and will begin to show signs of ill health, including:

-Thinning leaves
-Yellowing, wilted, or brown leaves
-Reduced leaf size
-Sections of tree canopy that appear as if they are dying back
-Cracked or heaving soil
-Exposed roots
-Leaning tree or a change in the lean
-Cavities, discolorations, or the presence of fungi on trunks
-Root rot – soft, mushy, or black roots

⭐️ If you see any of these symptoms on your trees call 📞 or email us for your free tree 🌲 assessment 401-377-4684!

SOUTHERN 401 TREE SERVICE

Hurricane season is heating up!! NOAA is predicting a near normal hurricane season. Are your trees ready for the next storm??

Southern 401 Tree Service INC is here to help prepare your property from storm damage.

Pruning is Vital to Hurricane Damage Prevention.

A strong, deep-rooted tree may not fall during a storm, but weak limbs in the canopy may. Broken, dead and damaged limbs can be torn from trees during a storm and turned into dangerous projectiles.

Regular pruning done by a professional over the course of the tree’s life can create a sturdy, well-spaced framework of healthy branches with an open canopy that allows wind to flow freely through.


Trees to Watch Out For During Hurricane:

*Trees with dense canopies

*Dead or dying trees

*Trees with codominant trunks

*New plantings and young trees

When Should You Prune a Tree?

Technically, you can prune both deciduous and evergreen trees throughout the year, and you might have to if you find branches that are diseased or broken.

However, certain times of year are better for a tree’s health.

Late Winter and Early Spring Pruning

Late Winter Branches Surprisingly, the cold, grey stretch of time from February to early April is considered the best time to prune for green growth in deciduous and evergreen trees alike. Oak trees are best pruned between December and February due to their susceptibility to a disease called oak wilt in warmer months.

Pruning trees in late winter or early spring gives them time to heal the cuts before the heart of spring arrives. The result is a rush of green growth during the primary growing season.

Pruning before leaves have begun to develop also allows you to see the branches better and locate problems that foliage otherwise might hide.

Plus, if you’re caring for trees such as linden trees that flower in the summer, pruning in late winter will help those flowers bloom.

Late Spring and Early Summer Pruning

Cherry Tree Flowers Pruning at the onset of summer is a way to control a tree’s shape and appearance. Instead of interrupting the heady spring growth, you’ll be able to influence future growth by seeing how much leaf surface the tree has and determining where to cut to best reduce it.

Also, although foliage might hide some problematic branches, it can reveal others by showing which limbs are weaker and less capable of supporting the canopy’s weight.

Early summer pruning is recommended for trees that flower in the springtime, such as lilacs and cherries. In this case, you'll make your cuts after the tree's flowers have dropped, not before they bloom. This way, you won't miss out on their annual display!

Late Summer and Early Fall Pruning

Early fall pruning is not recommended for two essential reasons:

It promotes new growth at a time when that growth is more likely to be killed off by increasingly colder temperatures
It creates wounds easily infected by fungi that are more active in fall

Due to these reasons, pruning during the late summer or early fall is advisable only for the most problematic branches that risk safety or the tree’s health.

Spring is just around the corner !!

We’ll bet you’re ready for spring. We know we are!

Now is the time to make sure your trees are just as prepared. Here are 3 Tips you can do to boost tree nutrients and strength for a healthy growing season.

Phase I: Before Waving Winter Goodbye

~Inspect your trees for signs of winter damage or disease while they are still bare.
~Prune dead, diseased or unsafe branches before spring growth. Waiting to prune in warmer weather may lead to an unwelcome spread of pests and diseases.

Phase II: A Pre-bloom Prep

~Remove fallen leaves, branches and waste from your landscape to set the stage for healthy growth.
~Feed your trees the nutrients they crave after winter. A slow release fertilizer helps trees defend against pests and diseases.

Phase III: During Springtime Sprouts

~Plant new trees to maximize energy saving and property enhancing benefits. Before planting, make sure to secure an ideal growing spot.
~Add 2 to 4 inches of mulch around your trees to improve soil moisture and control weeds.

How to spot a diseased or an infested trees?

This is an important question for homeowners and commercial property owners to consider, as infested tree might invite termites and other bothersome nuisances. Weakened, infested tree are also in jeopardy of shedding limbs or outright toppling, which can mean costly property harm and injury to anyone in the location!

To know if a tree is diseased, infested, or just stressed…

6 Common Signs of Poor Tree Health:

~Chewed or otherwise distorted leaves (infested tree leaves)
~Stunted foliage or leaf growth
~White spots

~Gashes along the bark (infested tree bark)
~Stunted tree growing including twisting

How To Count Tree Rings for Age?

Tree rings are natural markings on the tree trunk that indicate how old it is. A tree’s age can be determined by counting the number of rings, which is how scientists date trees. The number of rings on a tree varies by species and location, so it’s important to know what kind of trees you’re working with when estimating their age.
