How you can grow your Trees faster?

To improve the aesthetic aspect of your yard, you must have planted many trees. However, if they do not grow at your preferred speed, we understand that it could make you upset. You must also know that sometimes unknowingly you might be responsible for preventing your trees to reach their fullest potential. It can because they are not getting enough space to spread or might have to share nutrients with other smaller plants nearby. In this blog, we would share some useful tips to aid the faster growth of your trees.

Select the right tree

The concept of ‘right’ or ‘wrong tree might confuse you. Let us explain. Every tree is different and as a result, requirements for their proper growth would also vary. Different trees require different types of soil, amount of water or light, temperatures, etc. Therefore, to select the appropriate trees for your yards, study the region-specific climate and research the trees that grow best in that area. 

Proper planting of trees

While planting trees ensure that the hole you dig is at least twice the depth and width of the root ball of the tree you are about to plant. While placing the root ball in the hole, cover the space with a mixture of the original soil and good potting soil. The nutrients present in the latter will boost tree growth. Remember to water your newly planted tree every day for a week. After that, based on the weather condition, you can continue watering as per its requirements. Talk to your local nursery from where you have procured the tree to understand its water requirements. The reason is that it would vary throughout different growth phases.

Regularly water the roots

You should be careful while watering your trees. Splashing excess water near the tree is not ideal as it would wash away the soil. For properly watering your trees, you can either opt for a drip irrigation system or use a tree watering bag. It would help in watering your roots directly or pour water slowly over a long time. A root irrigation stake that goes into the ground will also help you to water the roots directly.

Use fertilizer

Adding fertilizers to the soil where you have planted your trees is another efficient way to boost your tree growth. While using fertilizers, ensure that they are organic.

Lawn care

Be mindful of the ways you care for your lawn. Hiring an amateur or doing it yourself can harm your lawn and also the trees you planted. Tree barks are usually sensitive. Hence, if you accidentally hit it, chances are high that you would injure it. Therefore, you need to be careful while using a lawnmower, a weed whacker, while pruning or trimming your trees, etc. You can opt for professional tree pruning services in Nashville, TN for pruning and trimming your trees properly.

Provide space to allow your trees to grow

As we mentioned earlier, lack of space can hinder your tree's growth to its maximum potential. While planting multiple trees in your yards, ensure that there must always be a minimum of three feet of distance between two trees. Additionally, add mulches to your trees at the initial stage to create a protective boundary for each tree. You might prefer to have densely populated trees in your yards for better shade and appearance. However, this three feet distance is one rule that you simply cannot ignore if you want your trees to grow long and live healthily.

Watch the roots

While all the above-mentioned, tips are crucial, you must also keep a lookout for possible root damage. The reason is a healthy tree always has a healthy root. If the roots are damaged, it would not take much time, for your whole tree to die. Ensure that tree roots much be covered with good quality soil, mulch, and fertilizers. Adding compost or mulch ensures that the soil quality is good so that roots have no issues pulling water from them.  If you notice any sign of root damage, seek tree care services in Franklin, TN immediately. Often tree roots might not be able to pull water from the soil. The reason can be because the soil is of poor quality.
