Shrub and Tree Care

June 21st, 2010 | Author: admin

Shrubs and trees are commonly planted in gardens to create a plant border or as a means of a natural shade. Newly planted shrubs and trees require enough moisture as they begin on establishing their permanent root system in the garden soil. When the shrubs and trees have established their root system, they require regular supply of food otherwise they will die. All shrubs and trees also require to be sprayed with some form of organic insecticide just before they begin to produce flowers or fruits. In other locales, shrubs and plants require to be washed with water on a daily basis to remove the dirt on the leaves and trunk.

Most shrubs need to be cut and pruned regularly to remain appealing. Some of its branches are needed to be cut to give the other branches some room to grow. Flowering shrubs should be pruned before the flowers die down while other berry-producing shrubs needs to be pruned before they bear some fruits. Rotting branches of a shrub should always be removed no matter what.

The root system of trees is deeper than that of shrubs that is why watering of trees is more extensive than watering of shrubs. To be able to reach the roots of a tree deep down the soil, plenty of water should be poured into the soil where trees are planted. Holes may be created around the tree to be able to let water penetrate into their roots. Unlike with shrubs, trees are not required to be pruned as often as possible. Actually, improper pruning can cause damage on a tree. Thus, trees are only pruned in instance where some part of it dies and it needs to be removed.
