Planting trees does not have to be an overwhelming project if you have the right steps to guide you through the process.
When you follow proven techniques from choosing the right tree to plant to care and maintenance, you can be confident that you will be able to enjoy that tree for many years to come.
What does a growing tree need to flourish?
Growing a tree can be quite a science. It may be confusing trying to determine the essential considerations that are needed to help grow your trees efficiently and successfully.
At Rootwell Products, Inc., we understand that and want to make the process easier. Read on for three essential basics to consider that will maximize your efforts to help your tree thrive.
Are you looking to save money watering your lawn and trees?
These days everyone wants to cut back on their spending. Water use for most homeowners increases dramatically during the summer months.
While we all love the way lush green lawns and landscaping look, the money it costs to get there can make your head spin.
Let’s talk about five ways to care for your lawn and trees while not completely emptying your wallet.
Take a minute to think about the trees in your yard or neighborhood. What’s one of the main things that make a community desirable and beautiful?
Mature trees!
Are you thinking about building a deck this summer? How about patio furniture? Is there a teak set you’ve been eyeing for a long time? How about a pergola?
Do you know where that furniture comes from? Does all wood pretty much seem the same to you, or do you plan to use sustainable wood? What’s the difference?
There didn’t use to be a difference at all. The trees of our continents seemed like they would never run out. After all, they do grow back, don’t they? Loggers felled millions of trees every year, and it barely made an impression.
However, now it isn’t that simple. We have deforested so much of the world that conservation has become important if we want the human race to survive.
One of my favorite memories from childhood is of picking apples at my grandparents’ house. Neither of them would have considered themselves farmers. However, since they both grew up on a farm – in the midst of the depression – growing their own food was second nature.
Twenty or so years before I was born, they planted several kinds of apple trees in their large front yard. I can remember climbing a ladder to get to the very top branches with the sweetest apples and eating them straight from the tree.
Pine trees are one of the hardiest types of trees. They have a naturally beautiful shape that rarely needs pruning.
There are some considerations if you have a few pine trees on your land, or want to do more to influence the shape, size, and health of your trees.
Here at Rootwell Products, Inc., we want you to be a gardening success. We know that a green thumb isn’t something you’re born with. You need advice from the pros and you need lots of practice.
To that end, we try to supply you with tips every week on a range of gardening topics. Every New Year, we post a roundup of the top 20 articles from the previous year. We like to keep tabs on what you are most interested in.
So take a peek at this year’s list and see if any of your favorites are there.
Have you been putting off winterizing your garden?
Fall is a busy time. Many of us have kids who go back to school – and all that comes with preparing for that. Many of us have clubs and organizations that begin again in the fall and we resume things we may have taken a break from during the summer.
We’ve all seen numerous examples of tree topping and crown reduction pruning in cities and suburbs. These examples include trees that are lopped off on one side or look like a huge gouge has been taken out of the top. Or trees with whole crowns having been cut down to stumps.
