Timely Watering

Winter is a normally quite dry period on the High Plains of Texas. This winter is certainly no exception. We've had less than 3" of moisture over the last 5 months. The .5" of rain and ice we got this week was nice, but not nearly enough. Apply 1-1.5" per month.

There is a little time left to apply dormant oil to suppress many pests for the coming growing season.

Due to the spring being a high risk period for the transmission of Oak Wilt, we don't prune oaks during the spring (March-May), so call 785-8733 now to schedule an appointment with one of our arborists to assess your trees.

Water Your Landscape

Late fall and winter is normally a very dry period on the High Plains of Texas. However, there is a lot of root growth during this time so thoroughly water at least monthly. Ideally, for most landscapes, sprinklers should be operated manually and 1.5-2" should be applied every 3-4 weeks.

Timely Tip - Fertilize After Freeze

The recent freeze burned a lot of new and succulent foliage that trees had just put on. Since nitrogen is important for foliar growth, fertilizing your trees and shrubs is especially important right now. Schedule an appointment with Tree Loving Care today.
