Spring: 1. Inspect your trees for any signs of damage from the winter months such as broken branches or bark damage. Address any issues promptly to prevent further harm. 2. Mulch around the base of your trees to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Be sure to use organic mulch and keep it at a consistent depth of 2-4 inches.

Summer: 1. Properly water your trees, especially during hot and dry periods. Deep watering is key, ensuring that the water reaches the roots. Consider using a drip irrigation system for consistent and efficient watering. 2. Prune your trees to remove any dead or damaged branches. Summer is also a good time to shape your trees for optimal growth and aesthetics.

Fall: 1. Keep an eye out for early signs of fall color change, as this can indicate stress or disease in your trees. Consult with a professional arborist if you notice any concerning changes. 2. Remove fallen leaves and debris from around your trees to prevent the spread of disease and pests. Consider composting leaves for a natural and beneficial soil amendment.

Winter: 1. Protect your trees from harsh winter weather by wrapping young or delicate trees with burlap to shield them from freezing temperatures and windburn. 2. Avoid pruning your trees in the winter months, as this can leave them vulnerable to disease and insect infestations. Save major pruning for the dormant season.
