Did exactly what I wanted and I now have a tree
company I will always use.
I called for an estimate expecting a message machine or no
answer like the other tree service companies I called in the
Nashua area.
I was wrong.
Someone took my call and Keith showed up the very same day. I
showed him what I wanted. He gave advice, answered my
questions, gave me an estimate and the day they could start.
They removed 4 trees, ground 4 stumps, trimmed up two
others and were done in less then a day. The man lift they have
is a great machine and can go into tight places that a bucket
cannot. And, the crew he has is fantastic.
Professional, courteous , showed up on time, did exactly what I
wanted and I now have a tree company I will always use.
Thanks Southern NH Tree Service!

Helped with Dangerous Tree Removal
In October 2011 we had a terrific snow storm leaving many of
my trees as well as my neighbors trees broken, split, leaning and
half taken down. They were a danger to anyone walking or
working under them. When the wind blew a few here and there
fell down but there were many just dangling in all our yards.
I was made aware they had to be removed before falling on
someone or thing. I didn’t know what to do. I had hired someone
a couple of years ago but my fence got broken, I had holes in my
driveway from equipment and there was a mess of limbs and
cuttings everywhere, as well as gouges in my yard and big tire
tracks everywhere and it took four months for them to get back
to me and three more weeks with equipment breaking to take
down four trees and another two months to get the large parts of
the trees hauled away.
I heard someone cutting trees in the neighborhood at in March
and had to get someone almost instantly to get the limbs that
were broken down from some very tall oak trees up near the
tops. I went up the street where Southern NH Tree service was
working..asked to speak with the boss..Did speak with him. He
listened to my concerns and how worried I was and he told me
he would be at my house at 1:00 that day. He was there, his
crew was there, I showed him what I needed to be done. The
price was so good I had him cut down another tree as well.
Everything was finished by the time I got home from work at
4:00. No mess, no cuttings left on the ground, no fences broken,
no holes in pavement or my yard. It was wonderful. I won’t
hesitate to call again for any outside work. I am grateful for the
help and grateful that there is someone like Southern NH Tree
service to call when there is an emergency or not.

Storm Damaged Tree Removal
Keith and his crews have been very helpful to us over the years.
We have presented Keith with some delicate situations and are
pleased with the professional manner in which they have been
handled. The most recent work SNHTREE undertook was after
the October 2011 snow storm when Nashua was a disaster area.
The crew took care of our needs in a timely manner and our
problems were corrected.
Thanks to Keith and the crews at SNHTREE.

Pleased with Storm Damage Tree Removal
My husband and I were pleased with the clean up done at our

The answer to the most important question is: YES …
I would hire Southern NH Tree Service again!
Southern NH Tree Service did an excellent job for me in summer
of 2011. I had worried about overhang from a tall insect-
damaged maple. I love having trees and I did not want to take
down the entire tree. Keith Fredette took a look and thought
about how he might get big enough equipment in the hard to
reach yard space. His solution was to rent (I believe for the first
time) a Nifty Lift SD64. The fully articulated machine was the
right answer to the problem. With a morning of instruction, the
operator/saw-man was able to reach the highest points to take
down the limbs threatening my roof. Four months later, I was so
glad Keith took it on. The infamous October snow storm knocked
down some limbs that I told him to leave, but the limbs he took
that summer were gone and could do no damage.
During the job, Keith was personally directing his guys. The crew
was available to briefly talk, as required, about a facet of the job,
which is important to the home owner. His crew cleaned up
thoroughly and there was no collateral damage to any feature of
the house or yard. It looks like Keith invested in a Nifty Lift SD64
so they are ready to take on even difficult urban jobs.

clean! Highly recommended. Thank you Southern NH Tree!

They did an excellent, professional job. We were very

wouldn’t have noticed anyone had done any work there.
I will recommend them to all my friends.

Best Tree Service in Nashua!
This past October, my brother had used Southern NH Tree
Service for storm damaged trees and one that had to be
carefully lifted off the house as it was leaning up against the
chimney. I knew I had some trees to take down and when I
was finally ready to do it, Southern NH Tree Service was our
only choice. There wasn’t much room to work in since the 3
trees I wanted cut were in my side yard and towards the
back of the house, between my house and my neighbor’s
trees, and on a sloping terrain. Like a surgeon, Jim was up
in a bucket, in this incredible piece of gear that they have
that (without tearing up the landscaping) can go up 70′ feet
and manuever within the tiniest of areas, trimming
branches and taking the trees down in a methodical
fashion. When he was done, he even took the time to blow
out my gutters (front and back) at the downspout with a
leaf blower, as he cleaned off the roof of the house. The
following day they returned to remove the logs and left the
side yard cleaner than when they started. I watched as the
last guy to leave had rake in hand and was making sure the
lawn looked good as he walked towards the street. Referrals
are certainly the best compliment anyone can provide and I
would highly recommend Keith Fredette and his crew for
any tree removal services.
Don & Karen Berthiaume - Nashua
A Positive Experience
Hiring Southern NH Tree Service was absolutely a positive
experience. After having a tree fall on the neighbors house we
had a few estimates done, awarding Southern NH Tree Service
the contract. They came in the same day and removed the most
hazardous section of the tree, which made us and our neighbor
quite pleased with the professionalism and agility of the work
done with little damage to their beautiful landscaping.
Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Gagnon – Nashua, NH
A Great Job at an Awesome Price
We had Southern NH Tree take down about 20 trees, some very

are happy. I would certainly call them again in a heartbeat!

removed the tree, cleaned the area of debris, and left the
sectioned logs (as I had requested) stacked on the side of
the site. It doesn't get any better than this. THANK YOU!

Very Professional at Competitive Pricing
We have used this service at our home in Nashua twice.
The focus of the work was maintenance on a small wooded
area out back consisting of older trees, some fairly large,
that had been affected by age and weather. Others were
healthy but growing too close to the house. The owner,
Keith, was very flexible in his approach to the work. Once
contracted, they came when they said and did what they
were hired to do very professionally at competitive pricing.
I will use them again and refer them without hesitation.

and finished the job in a few hours. They cleaned up

Fantastic Job
Keith and his crew did a fantastic job. Very fair price for
such a large job (15 trees on property and in close
quarters). Very impressed by the head crew person who
made sure safety precautions were always adhered to and
that property wasn't going to be damaged. Because the
chipper and log trucks were in front of other people's
properties, they also made sure that the area was cleaned
up before they left. Very punctual, courteous, and fair.
Would hire them again in a minute! Great job everyone!

Did The Job Right
My home insurance company required some treework asap
(among other things) or they would cancel coverage. After
getting a couple estimates to trim overhanging tree
branches away from our house we went with Southern NH
tree. The price was right and to my suprise they came out
the same day because they wanted to get it done before
the afternoon snow storm. They did the job right and
cleaned up after too. If i happen to need any more tree
work id use them again.

Did The Job Right
My home insurance company required some treework asap
(among other things) or they would cancel coverage. After
getting a couple estimates to trim overhanging tree
branches away from our house we went with Southern NH
tree. The price was right and to my suprise they came out
the same day because they wanted to get it done before
the afternoon snow storm. They did the job right and
cleaned up after too. If i happen to need any more tree
work id use them again.

When you’re planting shrubs, it’s
important to exercise the same
amount of care as with trees. Don’t
just dig a hole, toss in a shrub,
cover it with soil and hope it
survives. It’s not difficult, but you
need to know how to plant a shrub
properly.
Here are some helpful tips for
planting shrubs:
•
Location. Read any planting instructions that accompany a shrub. They
should describe the shrub’s requirements for sunlight, soil and water. Pick a
location that fulfills those requirements (sunlight is the most important –
you can amend the soil and provide supplemental water if necessary). Only
consider locations that will be appropriate for the shrub’s size and type as it
reaches maturity.
•
Timing. Although most shrubs can be planted during any season as long as
the ground is not frozen, planting shrubs during early fall or late summer is
often best. Planting during early spring or very late winter is another good
option. It’s best to avoid planting shrubs during the hot summer months if
possible.
•
Prepare the hole. Dig a hole that’s two to three times wider and slightly
shallower than the shrub’s root ball. Use your shovel or spade to “roughen”
the bottom and sides of the hole. This step encourages root penetration
into the soil.
•
Position the shrub. Gently place the root ball in your hole and cover all
exposed roots with soil (amended if necessary). Don’t position the shrub
too deeply – plant it at the same depth it’s accustomed to. Tamp the soil
down but don’t compress it excessively, then mulch the area if desired.
Water thoroughly and monitor carefully.
When done properly, trimming or pruning a tree
helps it stay strong, healthy and attractive. Most
of us have at least one or two trees in our yards,
but many homeowners aren’t quite sure how to
perform this important task. If you’re looking for
guidance, you’ll find nine helpful tips on tree
trimming and pruning below.
First, though, you might want to know how tree
trimming and tree pruning are different.
Tree trimming is usually performed to shorten a
tree’s overall height. In some ways, it’s similar
to the type of haircut that’s called a “trim”). Yes,
the overall shape of your hair is tidied up, but
the main object of a trim is to make your hair
shorter. And so it is with tree trimming.
Tree pruning is a little different. It’s usually done for one of three reasons:
safety (removing branches that might cause personal injury or property
damage if they fall, or removing branches growing into utility lines or
interfering with sightlines); health (thinning the crown to increase airflow
within the canopy, removing branches that rub against others, or removing
diseased, damaged or bug-infested wood); or appearance (removing branches
to stimulate flowering or enhance the tree’s natural shape).
1.
To avoid “shocking” the tree and causing problems, don’t trim or prune too
much at a time. If you need to remove a lot of wood, cut back part of it
and let the tree heal before cutting more. Also, if your purpose relates to
improving the tree’s appearance, you may find out (too late) that taking off
too much makes the tree look worse rather than better. All the way
around, it’s better to make significant changes in stages.
2.
Never “top” or “tip” a tree. Topping reduces a tree’s height by cutting off
large vertically-growing branches between growth nodes, while tipping
reduces a tree’s overall width by cutting lateral (sideways-growing)
branches between nodes. Both practices can harm the tree by promoting
the development of weakly-attached new growth. Branches cut this way
can also die back behind the cut. Eventually the dead portions will rot and
further weaken the tree.
3.
Don’t tear or rip the tree’s bark as you’re cutting. Make clean cuts.
4.
Don’t make your cut flush against the trunk. This can damage the trunk’s
tissues, allow disease to enter and result in deterioration.
5.
Don’t leave too much of a stub, either. Stub cuts heal slowly and provide
entry points for insects and disease.
6.
Know your tree, and prune or trim at the right time of year for its species.
7.
Use proper tree pruning tools, the type and size of which should be
appropriate for the branches you’re trimming.
8.
To ensure proper cuts and prevent the spread of disease, make sure your
tree pruning tools are sharp and clean.
9.
If the location makes it possible, apply wound dressing immediately after
cutting a branch.
Above all else, remember that tree pruning or trimming should never harm the
tree.
Tips for Planting Shrubs
Tips For Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning
Tree Planting Essentials and TipsTrees are
beautiful and provide welcome shade, but they
can’t thrive unless they’re planted properly.
That makes knowing how to plant a tree
essential. It involves more than just digging a
hole, placing the tree’s roots inside and then
tossing in dirt over the roots. And, to do the
job right, you also need to know where to
plant a tree: in other words, you need the
right type of hole.
1.
Choose the right time of year for your
climate and the tree’s species. Most trees
do best when planted in early spring or fall.
2.
Make sure your hole is the right width. As a
general rule, the hole should be two to three times wider than the tree’s
root ball or container. The extra loosened soil allows the root structure to
establish itself and spread.
3.
The hole should also be the right depth. The roots should be planted to the
same depth as they are in their container. Planting too deeply will prevent
the roots from receiving enough oxygen to support healthy growth.
4.
For the best results, amend the soil you place over the roots. At a
minimum, you should fill the hole with good topsoil, but mixing in
composted manure and/or peat moss can give your tree extra nutrition for
a good start.
5.
Tamp down the soil over the roots, but not excessively. Overly-compressed
soil can deter root expansion and prevent water from seeping down to the
roots.
Tree Planting Essentials and Tips
Like other landscaping plants, shrubs can sustain damage during storms. The
potential for storm damage makes it important to know how to provide shrub
protection.
Different types of storms can damage shrubs – torrential rains; the ferocious
winds of hurricanes and tornadoes; blizzards with whipping winds and heavy
snowfall; and winter storms that drop heavy blankets of ice. It’s difficult to
prevent damage from hurricanes and tornadoes, but you can protect shrubs
from damage due to imminent winter storms and icy conditions.
Here are three tips that can help you provide shrub protection from wintry
blasts:
1.
Spread a thick layer of mulch around the base of your shrubs. The mulch
provides insulation for the shrubs’ roots. It’s especially important if your
shrubs have only recently been planted, but it can help protect shrubs from
damage even when they’re well-established.
2.
Cover your shrubs with burlap or another breathable fabric. The covering
will act as a windbreak, prevent ice or snow from contacting the shrubs,
and help regulate their temperature. Burlap works well because the mesh
allows air to circulate around the shrubs even though they’re covered.
Never use a plastic cover for this purpose – it will do more harm than
good.
3.
If you’re expecting frigid winds, you can protect shrubs from damage by
spraying them with an anti-transpirant or anti-desiccant designed for this
purpose. Spraying can help prevent the severe dehydration that can be
caused by exposure to heavy winds.
These three shrub protection tips can help prevent your valuable shrubs from
being damaged by winter storms. Following them can help you prevent the
need to re-plant in the spring.
Shrub Protection:
Three Easy Tips to Prevent Winter Storm Damage
Trees and shrubs require much less care than annual and perennial flowers,
especially once they’ve become established. Even so, there are a few things
you should do to protect them from winter weather.
With the possible exception of pruning, the steps you should take for winter
tree protection are easy and straightforward.
•
Prune any branches that are excessively long or weak. The weight of heavy
snow or ice can break them off, potentially causing problems in the spring.
•
If rainfall is deficient, water adequately but not excessively. This should be
part of your shrub and tree maintenance routine anyway, but it’s especially
important during winter. Exposure to cold winter winds can cause
dehydration (desiccation) in even the hardiest tree or shrub unless it
receives adequate water. Making sure your trees and shrubs have adequate
water is the easiest and best way to prevent damage caused by winter
desiccation, and it’s an essential part of winter tree protection. You can
also spray the foliage with an anti-transpirant to limit evaporation.
•
Cover trees and shrubs with burlap. If the weather will be unusually
severe, if you’re expecting an ice storm, or if your trees and shrubs are
only marginally hardy in your climate, cover them with burlap for winter
tree protection. The burlap will block frigid winds and collect an insulating
blanket of snow.
•
Spread a layer of mulch around the base of your trees and shrubs. In
addition to providing insulation for the roots, mulch helps the soil retain
water and can help with everyday tree maintenance by deterring the
growth of weeds and underbrush.
Shrub and Tree Maintenance: Providing Winter Protection
Lightning Tree Damage - Southern NH Tree Service
can helpLike almost everything else, a tree hit by
lightning will sustain at least some amount of
damage. After all, lightning is one of nature’s most
powerful forces, and its effects can be devastating.
Trees – especially tall ones – are particularly
vulnerable to lightning strikes because they are often
the tallest objects in the area.
Lightning tree damage often takes the form of
peeling, loosened or stripped-off bark. But in addition
to this visible damage, internal trunk damage or
below-ground root damage may exist. The lightning
strike may have been several feet away, or the
current may have passed directly through the trunk,
using it as a conduit to reach the ground. If this happens, it may well cause
invisible but potentially deadly lightning tree damage that’s far more
significant than some peeling bark.
If a tree hit by lightning sustains only minor damage, there’s a good chance
you can save it by removing any loosened bark and pruning any damaged
branches. You will, however, need to keep a watchful eye for the appearance
of any additional signs of damage. You should also ensure that a tree hit by
lightning receives enough water and is fertilized properly.
Unfortunately, a tree hit by lightning can die soon after the strike, or it could
survive for a while but succumb to the damage years later when it experiences
some type of stress – drought conditions, for example. Much will depend on
the extent, severity and type of lightning tree damage, but your vigilance will
also play a role.
If you’re not sure about what to do, feel free to give us a call for a free
consultation.

Are You Dealing with Lightning Tree Damage?
Some people live in climates where trees, shrubs and flowers can be planted
throughout the year. New England is different, though. Long and often harsh
winters, with frozen ground, plentiful snow cover and occasional ice storms all
make winter planting virtually impossible. However, New Englanders still have
three seasons during which they can plant, and all three are glorious for
landscaping and gardening work. Different plants can be planted at different
times of the year.
Here are a few seasonal planting tips:
•
When spring arrives, don’t plant
annual flowers or vegetables
before the last frost date in your
area – no matter how eager you
are. The last frost date varies by
location, but planting flowers,
vegetables and other seasonal
plants after Memorial Day is
almost always safe. Freezing
temperatures can damage or kill
newly-planted seasonal plants.
•
Likewise, it’s best to avoid
planting after the first frost date
in your area. It doesn’t make sense to plant annual flowers in the fall,
because they’ll just be killed by the first freeze. But be careful even if
you’re planting trees, shrubs or perennial flowers, because freezing
temperatures can damage roots that haven’t had time to become
established. Depending on your location, the first frost date could fall
sometime between early September and late October.
•
If you’re planting bulbs as seasonal plants, plant them in the fall while
overnight temperatures stay between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Make
sure you plant your bulbs about six weeks before the ground freezes in
order to give them adequate time to root.
You’ll be giving your seasonal plants a good start if you follow these planting
tips.
When to Plant
Springtime Planting - New England
AstorIs there anything more glorious
than springtime in New England?
Once the snow melts and the buds
start appearing on trees and shrubs,
many of us feel the inspiration to start
planting some New England plants.
First, you need to decide whether you
want to plant trees, shrubs, flowers,
bulbs or foliage plants. That decision
will affect several others. For
example, if you’re planting trees, do
you want them to be evergreen or deciduous? If you’re planting bulbs, do you
want spring-blooming or autumn-blooming varieties? Will you plant annual
flowers or perennials?
Consider planting native New England plants. New England winters are harsh,
but native New England plants are adapted to the climate and give you the
added benefit of fairly low maintenance requirements. By planting native New
England plants you’ll give yourself the best chance of success while helping to
preserve New England’s heritage.
For example, a few winter-hardy, native flowering plants to consider for
springtime planting in New England include wild red columbine, butterfly weed
(no, it’s not a weed), cardinal flower, and the beautiful, fall-blooming New
England aster or Virginia creeper. Although you can find many of these plants
in the wild, buy yours from a nursery – they’ll be healthier and you won’t be
harming New England’s beautiful natural environment.
We hope you use some of these ideas for springtime planting in New England.
The region’s winters are harsh, but there’s nothing more beautiful than spring,
especially when you’re putting in some beautiful New England plants.

springtime planting in New England include wild red columbine, butterfly weed
(no, it’s not a weed), cardinal flower, and the beautiful, fall-blooming New
England aster or Virginia creeper. Although you can find many of these plants
in the wild, buy yours from a nursery – they’ll be healthier and you won’t be
harming New England’s beautiful natural environment.
We hope you use some of these ideas for springtime planting in New England.
The region’s winters are harsh, but there’s nothing more beautiful than spring,
especially when you’re putting in some beautiful New England plants.
Some Ideas for Springtime Planting in New England
What gardener doesn’t look forward to planting time? We all love the beautiful
splashes of color that annual flowers provide throughout late spring, summer
and fall. But before you can start planting flower beds, you need to know how
to prepare them.
Most bedding plants prefer soil that drains well. Raised beds can improve the
soil’s drainage and give your landscaping an attractive, “finished” look.
They’re easy to make, too. Here are some quick tips to help you create great
flower beds.
•
Outline the size and shape of your
new bed (you can use a long
string).
•
Remove any grass growing inside
the outline by digging it up or
using an herbicide.
•
Dig a six-inch deep trench around
the bed’s border. Place the soil
you remove from the trench into a
wheelbarrow (or the middle of the
bed if you don’t have one).
•
Amend the soil you removed from
the trench by mixing in equal parts of a good quality planting mix and
composted cow manure or mushroom compost. Adding some vermiculite
will improve drainage.
•
Place the amended soil in the center of the bed and spread it out to form a
layer that’s six inches above “ground level” in the center but tapers down
to the borders of the bed.
That’s all there is to preparing flower beds. Now you’re ready for planting
flower beds that will produce magnificent blooms with vibrant colors. If you’re
really serious about your gardening, you can have your soil tested to ensure
it’s the proper pH. Testing can also identify whether you need to make any
further soil amendments as you’re planting flower beds.
Mulching is important for beautiful landscaping
and gardening. A layer of mulch can suppress
weed growth in your flower beds and beneath
trees and shrubs. It also retains moisture so
you don’t have to water as often. Mulch
provides protection for roots during harsh
winters and keeps the soil cooler during torrid
summers. Some mulches (the organic types)
add nutrients to the soil.
So, there’s no question that mulching has many
benefits. But what types of mulch are available,
and how do they differ? Which types are best?
Mulching Tips: The Differences
Mulch can be broken down into two main
categories: organic (natural materials like bark,
pine needles, leaves, wood chips and so forth)
and inorganic (gravel or river rock, plastic
nuggets and even ground-up recycled tires). Both types have their pros and
cons, but most people use some type of organic mulch. It’s readily available
and usually costs less than inorganic mulch. Some types of organic mulch,
like leaves, grass clippings and pine needles, may already be in your yard, and
they’re free. Organic mulch also adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes.
Pine mulch and cedar mulch are two extremely popular types of organic
mulch. A layer of either cedar mulch or pine mulch that’s two or three inches
thick will provide good weed control and can be very attractive. Pine mulch
and cedar mulch are both available as shredded bark or as “nuggets” – larger
pieces of bark. One disadvantage of pine mulch is its tendency to attract
termites and other bugs. Cedar mulch tends to be more insect-resistant.
Both are inexpensive and easy to find, but cedar mulch is sometimes priced
slightly higher than pine mulch.

Mulching Tips: Types of Mulch and Their Differences
Here are 3 Important Landscaping Tips for Beginners
Landscaping can mean different
things to different people, but basic
landscaping generally involves
planting trees, shrubs and/or plants in
a way that’s intended to beautify and
improve the value of your home. With
these landscaping tips, even a
beginner can accomplish these goals.
Here are three important landscaping
tips for beginners who need some
landscaping help:
•
Ask your utility companies to mark the locations of any underground
power, cable TV or telephones lines, along with any gas, water or sewer
pipes
Scrupulously avoid digging in all marked areas. In addition to ensuring your
safety as you’re digging, this step will prevent service interruptions caused by
a severed or damaged underground utility line or pipe.
•
Begin small, but plan big
Don’t do anything until you sketch a plan for the entire area. This is your long-
term landscaping “blueprint.” It includes your landscaping ideas and plots the
final look you want to achieve.
Begin your actual landscaping by working on some small aspect of your overall
plan. Beginning small will give you a feel for your abilities and give you a quick
sense of accomplishment. A small initial project also makes it easy to correct
mistakes if something should go amiss.
•
Purchase your landscaping plants locally
This simple step ensures that your landscaping plants are suited to your
climate.
Once you get the basics down, you can incorporate more ambitious
landscaping ideas into your projects. For example, advanced landscaping
projects may include the installation of stone walls or walkways, fencing,
ponds or even small waterfalls.

Tree FertilizationTrees need water,
and you’ll need to do some
watering if it doesn’t rain enough.
But it’s not so cut and dried with
tree fertilization.
For example, fertilizing when trees
are planted is almost always
unnecessary. Tree fertilization used
to be a standard part of the process
for planting trees, but not anymore.
Research proved that fertilizing
newly-planted trees did very little
good and just made things more expensive. The soil already contains nutrients,
so when you fertilize trees you’re usually adding nutrients to soil which has
more than enough already. It’s just not necessary.
More isn’t necessarily better when it comes to tree fertilization. Although
ensuring that your trees have the proper soil nutrients can help them stay
healthy, applying too much fertilizer can actually lead to diseased or even dead
trees. And runoff of excess fertilizer can contribute to the pollution of our river
and lake system.
Instead of making tree fertilization an annual event, you should only fertilize
trees when necessary. Test your soil, and evaluate how well your trees are
growing. Look at their foliage. Rain and snowfall amounts can influence how
often you should fertilize trees. For example, you may need to fertilize more
often if you’re having a particularly wet season. Conversely, reduced tree
fertilization will be appropriate during droughts or excessively dry periods.
It’s important to remember that fertilizing isn’t a “magic pill” if your trees seem
unhealthy. Instead, identify and correct the problem, wait a while, and then
fertilize to get your trees back on track.
Don’t waste time and money by choosing
nursery trees that don’t have the opportunity
to thrive. Not every nursery tree is equal in
quality or health, so careful tree selection is
important.
When you’re choosing nursery trees, you’ll
want to thoroughly evaluate the trees you’re
considering. The health and quality of the
above-ground portions of a tree are fairly easy
to determine, but don’t forget the most
fundamental aspect of any tree – its root
system. Without healthy roots no tree can
thrive.
Trunk, Branches and Foliage
When you’re choosing a nursery tree, it’s
important to examine the trunks, branches and
foliage. As a general rule, larger trees are
more established and likely to be healthier than smaller specimens. Try to find
trees with the right height-to-width ratio for their species. During your tree
selection process, don’t buy overly-spindly trees. They’re apt to be weak and
may not even survive being transplanted.
Choose trees with well-spaced branches. This promotes the development of a
strong branch structure at maturity. The foliage should be the right color and
density for the species and have a healthy overall appearance.
Look carefully for signs of damage, infestation or disease. Avoid a tree with
torn or split bark, as this will make the tree more vulnerable to insects and
disease. Likewise, avoid any trees with visible insect infestations.
The Root System
A tree’s survival depends on the quality of its root system. Look for a network
of fine, feeder roots near the tree’s base. If all you see are large support roots,
the tree will not be able to take up water and nutrients adequately. Likewise, if
the root system is undersized or damaged, the tree will be weak and may not
survive.
How to Choose a Nursery Tree
Transplant a Tree | Nashua Tree ServiceAre you trying to learn how to
transplant a tree? It’s actually quite easy. It’s important to do it correctly,
though – transplanting stresses a tree, and doing it improperly often causes
problems. Follow these guidelines to transplant your tree successfully.
Tips to Successfully Transplant a Tree
•
Choose a tree that’s likely to handle
it well. Healthy, young nursery-
grown trees usually give you the
best odds for success. Choose the
species wisely, too. Some species
stand up to the transplant process
better than others. For example,
shallow-rooted trees often do better
than deep-rooted varieties. Also,
pick a species known to thrive in
your climate and soil conditions.
•
Transplant your tree during the
season that’s appropriate for its
species. Transplanting a tree in the
spring (after the ground thaws but
before leaf buds appear) is usually safe. Fall (well before the ground
freezes) is another good option. Transplant a deciduous tree shortly after it
drops its leaves. Transplanting in late summer or early fall is best for an
evergreen tree. If possible, avoid transplanting a tree during late spring or
early summer.
•
Select the right location. All trees need sunlight and water to survive, but
the amount they require will differ by species. Soil pH requirements are
different, too. The location must also give your tree enough room to grow
and spread its roots properly.
•
Plant in the right type of hole. The hole should be two to three times wider
than the tree’s root ball. Amend the soil if necessary. Plant your tree at the
same depth it’s been growing in. Tamp down the soil, but don’t overly
compress it. Water immediately – thoroughly but not excessively. Monitor
the soil’s moisture content regularly, and water as needed.
After reading these guidelines, you should know how to transplant a tree
successfully.
Transplant a Tree Successfully
A tree can shade your home in the summer, act as a windbreak during cold
winters, and provide food and shelter for neighborhood birds. Planting trees
can even raise your property value. You won’t want to plant any old tree,
though. Instead, you need to select the right tree.
Planting Trees
Consider the following matters while you’re
deciding which tree to plant. Some of these
considerations are critically important when you
want to select the right tree, but others are
personal preference.
•
For the best chance of long-term success,
choose a tree that’s native to your area. At
the least, the tree should be able to thrive in
your climate and soil conditions if watered
properly. Drought tolerance is important if
your area experiences long dry spells, while
cold-weather hardiness is essential if you
have severe winters.
•
Knowing which tree to plant also involves
knowing how much sunlight the location
receives and how much sunlight a particular
tree requires. Some trees (many evergreens,
for example) prefer partial sun and thrive
when planted on the home’s northern side.
Many deciduous trees do better when planted on the sunnier east, south or
west side.
•
The tree’s estimated size at maturity (height and crown width) should be
appropriate for its location. For example, you’ll want to make sure your
tree’s branches won’t be able to grow into overhead utility lines.
•
You’ll also need to know which tree to plant if your goals include sheltering
your home from sun or wind. Choose one that can serve your desired
purpose once it reaches maturity.
•
No one wants to plant a tree that dies, becomes diseased or deteriorates
within a few years. When you’re deciding which tree to plant, avoid trees
that are unusually vulnerable to insects and bacterial, viral or fungal
infections. If your winters are severe, avoid trees that are likely to sustain
significant damage during ice storms.
•
Decide whether you prefer a deciduous tree or an evergreen. Deciduous
trees drop their leaves in fall or winter, but they provide excellent shade the
rest of the year. Evergreen trees retain their leaves year-round, so they
excel at providing privacy and acting as winter windbreaks.
•
What shape do you prefer (or would serve your purpose best)? Trees can be
columnar (tall and narrow), have spreading crowns, or mature into several
other shapes. Columnar trees require less space, but trees with spreading
crowns provide more shade.
•
Is the prospect of a flowering tree appealing? In addition to being beautiful,
a flowering tree can attract birds and butterflies. Several flowering trees
also provide fruit. Avoid those if you don’t want the potential messiness.
•
Likewise, would you like seeing beautiful fall colors outside your window?
The leaves of many (but not all) deciduous trees turn yellow, red or orange
as the temperatures cool and the days grow shorter. You can select the
right tree to give you your favorite seasonal color because the leaves of
each species turn a specific color.
There are many advantages to having at least one tree in your yard. You just
need to select the right tree.
