Planting Trees And Shrubs

Writen by Paul Burke

How well your new tree or shrub does is dependent on planting your new addition to your landscape properly. By using the following steps you will go a long way in ensuring the future health of your new tree or shrub.

STEP 1: Choose the right plant for the right location. Ensure soil, moisture, and shade requirements match the plant you have chosen

STEP 2: Care for the plant before planting. Keep the tree or shrub cool and moist as well as shaded. When handling the root ball, be careful.

STEP 3: Ensure the removal of all wires, labels, etc from the plant's stem.

STEP 4: Dig your hole as wide as possible. The hole you use for your new tree or shrub should be at least 3 times the diameter of the root ball. Make the hole saucer-shaped and as deep as the root ball is high. Make sure the root collar is level or just above the surrounding soil.

STEP 5: Remove wire baskets, burlap, or pot from the root ball. By removing these materials you minimize root system disturbances. If you find it difficult to remove the burlap, cut and peel it back for better watering.

STEP 6: Use soil from the hole you dug. Do not mix in fertilizer, sand or any organic material such as peat moss.

STEP 7: Once the new tree or shrub has been planted in the hole and back-filled using only soil removed from the hole, you can prune any broken or dead branches. Because the tree or shrub is so young do not cut back any of the health branches to reduce the crown.

STEP 8: Water the root zone once a week for the 1st year or two. Do not over-water. The majority of new tree or shrub roots are in the 1st 6-12 inches of soil. Water slowly to decrease the amount of runoff. By watering deeply and infrequently you will encourage deep root development which will aid in stability and strength in later years.

STEP 9: Aside from watering, the next most important thing you can do for your new tree or shrub is to apply an organic mulch such as wood chips, grass clippings or tree bark. This mulch reduces compaction, aids in moisture retention, and helps keep unwanted weeds from utilizing the bare space beneath the tree. Use a circle of mulch approximately 3 times the size of the root ball and increase this as the tree grows.

By following these steps you will help ensure a good start for the newest additions to your landscape.

Trees

Writen by Elizabeth Morgan

The word tree denotes plants, a family mapped through various generations, as well as scientific notations like binary trees. So anything that has a root, strong trunk or stem, and branches out can be termed as a tree. In fact, a few centuries ago people placed in the entrance way a "tree" for visitors to hang hats and coats on.

In nature trees are big plants that grow tall, flower, and fruit. Trees are all around us—furniture, paper, food, houses, and toys. We use things made from trees, enjoy shaded avenues, revel in the forests, and cut trees out of avarice—urbanization. Trees are what sustain life and play an important role in the ecosystem. They enrich the soil, prevent erosion, and are home to birds, insects, small animals, and fungi.

Trees are valuable to mankind. They provide fruits and are sources of energy or fuel, medicines, detergents, as well as cosmetics. In fact, fossil fuels are produced by the death of trees.

That trees have always been a part of our lives is seen from holy books and scriptures which praise the existence of trees—the Bible and Koran both mention the date palms and describe its beauty, utility, and uses. In fact, just recently a date seed that is 2,000 years old, found in the excavations of Masada, has germinated. Even in Eastern cultures, the tree played an important role and was worshipped. Art documents that very often the Buddha as the Master was represented by a tree (bodhi) enclosed within a railing—such depictions are found in Buddhist sites that date as far back as the 2nd century BCE.

Trees have a definite role to play in the ecosystem. Ecosystems are maintained in balance by trees. When the land is verdant with trees that are flourishing and healthy, other aspects of our environment like soil, water, and air, also remain healthy. Trees improve air quality by replenishing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. They replace nutrients in the soil that support growth—minerals as well as nitrogen, and conserve water.

Trees also bring down the temperature in summer months and ensure adequate rainfall. During winter months they protect humans by breaking the force of cold winds. Trees prevent landslides and can protect the land from the disastrous effects of hurricanes and tidal waves. They protect humans from respiratory problems by acting as air filters, as the trees trap dust particles and absorb gaseous pollutants. They reduce greenhouse gases through photosynthesis. Trees shade life from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun, which are becoming more intense with the thinning of the ozone layer. Urban noise is muffled by tree cover, as tree leaves diffuse sound waves.

Studies have shown that adequate tree cover in urban areas can help save energy costs by fifty percent in summer and twenty per cent in winter. Trees are our friends, and need to be protected from annihilation and destruction.
