Important advice for autumn

Fertilisation is the single most important proactive measure you can take in caring for your trees this season. Soil care and fertilisation in autumn dramatically improve growing conditions and provide the nutrients required for vital tree root development.

Don't miss these warning signs

Trees under stress display key symptoms indicating a serious problem may exist. This includes wilting or loss of leaves/needles, yellowing of leaves or browning of needles, premature autumn colour, early leaf drop and sappy spots on branches. Correctly identifying the underlying cause is critical to addressing tree health issues.

Summer tree threats

Summer is a time of high activity for pests as well as tree diseases caused by fungi and other organisms. Some problems may be simply aesthetic, while others can be a real threat to tree health and vitality. As such, it is important to have an arborist check your trees to determine the underlying cause.

1/6/2026

Tree care recommendations for summer

With the warmer temperatures of summer, it is critical to water your trees and shrubs thoroughly. Applying a 7-10cm layer of mulch, inspecting for pest infestations and scheduling autumn fertilisation can also help maintain tree health and vigor.

Critical care for trees

Now is a critical time of year to prepare your trees and shrubs for the coming summer. Healthy trees and shrubs are better able to withstand the higher temperatures and weather extremes that summer brings. Proper care in spring can help ensure the health of your landscape plants.

Oak processionary moth

Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) continues to be a serious threat throughout the southeast of England. As some sporadic outbreaks occur across other areas of the UK and Ireland, it is becoming an even more widespread concern. If you have oaks on your property, they should be inspected immediately for signs of this pest.

Tree problems can cause long-term damage

Now is the time to address tree health issues that are commonplace this time of year. Problems including browning on evergreen needles, damage to twigs and branches, cracks or splits in the bark and root issues should be identified in early spring, before serious damage occurs.

Box caterpillars

Box tree caterpillars cause severe defoliation of box when they eat the leaves and produce a webbing over their feeding area. When these caterpillars are present, early detection is important to effectively treat and prevent a serious outbreak.

Prepare trees for spring

After winter ends, your trees and shrubs will be working hard to establish spring growth. A soil test in early spring can help determine the precise nutrients needed for that growth, yielding a fuller canopy and vibrant, health foliage.

Winter pruning

Winter is the ideal time to prune many tree species. Removal of dead or diseased branches this time of year can greatly reduce the risk they pose to your home and property. Plus, pruning can improve the overall health and appearance of your trees, getting them in shape for spring.

Winter tree inspection

Colder temperatures and shorter days serve as a reminder that it’s time for your trees and shrubs to have a winter check-up. Now is the time to uncover issues such as weakly attached branches, dead wood, diseases, pest infestations and other problems before they can cause serious damage in the spring.

Identifying hazardous tree conditions

As leaves fall from trees, the underlying architecture of the plant is revealed. This is the perfect opportunity to identify and correct visibly hazardous issues that can predispose trees to branch and tree failure such as dead wood and weakly attached limbs.

Schedule your winter pruning now to reduce the risk of falling branches and keep your trees looking their best!
