Caring for Healthy Trees

Water trees deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. To control pests, regularly inspect trees for signs of infestation and use appropriate methods like insecticidal soap. Fertilize trees in the spring with a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Prune trees regularly to remove dead or diseased branches and improve overall structure. Harvest fruits from fruit-bearing trees when they are ripe for the best flavor.
