Please go and take a look at the trees in your garden, have a look at the size of their trunk and how much foliage they have. How long has the tree been planted for? And what type of ground is it in?


The reason I want you to think about these questions is that we have had to deal with, and I have noticed, quite a few trees this year that are losing branches and trunks due to too much foliage on the tree, particularly in comparison to their girth and how well established they are. My big worry is that this year we have had particularly bad winds compared to previous years and we are not even out of summer.


So if you want to make sure you do not lose what may be a very big asset to your garden or risk potential damage to your house and grounds then please make sure that the foliage has been cut correctly. Thin out the ends of the branches and reduce any inward growth, this will allow air to pass through the tree and also reduce the canopy and wind resistance in general.


I always think it is a shame to lose all or even a part of a tree, regardless of age especially when it boils down to just a bit of care. Think how bare your garden would look if you lost a beautiful big tree. Also think how much it would cost to replace one if you had to. As always if you need any assistance or advice please do not hesitate to contact us, or if you are thinking about planting a new tree we are always available to come and talk with you as regards the best options for you and offer a range of sizes to suit your budget.


If you would also like any help in choosing your general planting or wish to have planting advice please call and arrange a free consultation at the garden centre.
