What You Can Explore with Your Tree Surgeon

There is so much more to tree surgeons than just cutting down trees. Find out right here with Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester just what you can really explore.

The group of fully trained, insured and experienced tree surgeons we have here in our team have an endless set of skills they can apply. Using our wide range of knowledge, we can really transform your garden area and add shade, colours, sometimes fruits and fully landscape your space into something versatile, healthy and long-lasting.

Without planting, trimming and coppicing any old tree in your garden, we can provide you with the necessary information and guidance you need to make sure your greenery, trees and hedges are well cared for all year round.

Safety Is Important

It is important to remember that all tree surgeons follow strict health and safety guidelines when working at your property. While working with all sizes of trees it is important that a trained surgeon is called to ensure that there is no falling debris, damage to the tree or potential hazards to yourself.

Make sure that there is no passing public, no pets, children or other adults close in the area of the tree itself while the surgeon carries out their work and you will already be well on your way to a well-maintained, safe and healthy tree.

Tree Relocating

Have you grown attached to a tree in your garden but its just not in the right place at the moment? Worry no more as our team are able to uproot, replant and nurture the tree in its rightful place of your choice (depending on soil structure and stability).

By carefully removing the tree and its roots, we are able to safely re-plant the tree where you want it and give you the professional advice needed to keep it growing healthily all year round. However, carrying out this service really is dependent on the time of year as we don’t want to be uprooting trees and plants that are not stable, healthy or settled based on the seasonal alterations and weather reliability.

Avoiding Tree Diseases

Regardless of the health and condition of your tree, every tree is prone to diseases in their lifetime. Our team are fully trained to spot the early signs of tree disease so that we can offer guidance and support on how to prevent the disease taking over your tree altogether.

By having regular checks and tree management services, you can avoid diseases spreading through your woodland areas and also keep your trees in a healthy condition. Any diseased trees that are beyond repair will have to be removed and we can let you know how to avoid it happening again on your site.

Protected Trees

Like we have said in our previous blogs, tree preservation orders are highly important and best understood by tree surgeon experts like ourselves. A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is initially put in place to protect trees from being cut down, coppiced, lopped, uprooted or involved in wilful damage and destruction. As professional tree surgeons, we will always alert you to ant TPO protected trees and get approval for services from local authorities before going ahead with any work.

If any rules of the TPO are not followed, there are fines in place, so make sure you work with professional tree surgeons to ensure safe and legal procedures.

Care for Your Fruit Trees Properly in Autumn

Care for Your Fruit Trees Properly in Autumn

Now that summer is well and truly over, it’s about time you looked at how to care for your trees in the up and coming autumn months.

If you are one of those lucky enough to have fruit trees in your garden area, then you will only be too familiar with the problem that arises when autumn arrives. After you have gathered all of your apples, pears or whatever fruit tree you have, you will then need to apply the proper care and treatment methods to keep your tree thriving all year round.

Are You Noticing Rotting?

If you have clear signs of rotting fruit or leaves, it’s time to call it a day for your summer of fruits. Once apples, pears and often plums start to show signs of brown rot, you need to remove them from the tree and dispose of them correctly.

If you were to let them fall to the ground below, they will decay on the soil and the disease will then lie on the ground, affecting future growth. One of the mistakes most fruit tree owners make is to just let rotten fruit fall for the birds, please don’t do this because you will regret it next summer!

Pests Are Writhe

Winter and autumn also see many pests coming out to find their home, especially snails and slugs. The problem with rotten fruit and fallen leaves is that slugs and snails will bed down in them for the winter and will once again affect next year’s growth and the health of the tree.

Top Tip – attach sticky grease bands to the base of your trees to stop winter months laying their eggs there.

Adding the preventative techniques will also “prevent the wingless female moths that emerge from pupae in the soil in November, from crawling up the tree to the branches”, Express. Any eggs that are laid on your trees will eventually hatch and will be looking for anything to feed on, including your spring blossoms. They can also eat the growth of any surrounding trees or plants like your roses and shrubs.

Planting New Fruit Trees

When it comes to planting trees, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd here in Manchester and Stockport are experts. We suggest the best time of the year to be planting your fruit trees is in the October to December time but make sure that you are well aware of how large the roots are so that when it comes to summer, you aren’t left with a tree you can’t control.

This is also the best time to prune your trees so that you can get a good and fair cycling of fruiting wood. By making sure they are well pruned by our experts you be sure to have a productive tree when summer comes around that is perfectly shaped for growth.

Top Tip – “Trees can suffer cold damage in winter and spring, which may affect fruit production” so keep an eye on this all year round (RHS).
