This includes less sun and water. If you notice some issues with your tree, it would be wise to have them inspected for disease or infestation. Many summer tree problems can be resolved by spring. See our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/3-summer-risks-that-can-kill-your-trees\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"3 Summer Risks That Can Kill Your Trees (opens in a new tab)\">3 Summer Risks That Can Kill Your Trees<\/a>\u201d to learn what you need to look for in your landscaping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#x2705; Pull Your Weeds<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Weeds are not good for trees. They can obstruct tree growth in a\nvariety of ways, but mostly by hogging up all the water supply.&nbsp; One of the easiest tasks for tree care is\npulling weeds. This is especially important for newly planted trees. Simply\ncheck around the base of your trees on occasion for weeds, and pull any weeds\nthat are within five feet of the tree base.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#x2705; Prune in the Fall<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 25% of a tree\u2019s crown should be pruned on an annual basis,\nbut should never be over pruned.&nbsp; Over-pruning\ncan kill the tree, or make it look very ugly.&nbsp;\nIt is recommended to remove only a small percentage of the live parts of\nthe tree at one time. Weak or declining trees will require less pruning or none\nat all.&nbsp; When it comes to pruning trees,\nuse a professional tree care company for safety and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#x2705; Fall Preparation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As summer comes to an end, you will need to begin your seasonal preparation. This includes cabling and bracing young, fragile, or vulnerable trees. As the seasons change into harsher weather, the cabling and bracing protects trees from strong winds, storms, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> &#x2705;  Winter Preparation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrap the trunks of young or newly-planted trees in the fall to better  protect them from winter elements. Use store-bought wrapping strips and  apply them to the trunks of trees by winding them upwards like the  stripes on a candy cane. You can find several different types of trunk  wraps at your local gardening store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Affordable Tree Service in Fishers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 317-537-9770<\/strong> for professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Fishers tree service (opens in a new tab)\">Fishers tree service<\/a> you can trust.
