How to Maintain Trees

If you have a lot of trees on your property, you will want to make sure you are watching where you dig. Roots can grow two to three times farther than the branches of the tree. Watch where you are weed whacking and cutting. If you nick the tree bark, you make it more susceptible to disease. Parking under the same tree all the time will slowly compact the soil and crush the roots, killing the tree. Trimming back or pruning your tree can help remove any dead or damaged branches. Lastly, learning what types of trees you have on-property and what diseases can affect them.

Knowing When You Have a Diseased Tree

The most common diseases for trees in Minnesota are oak wilt, Dutch elm disease, and maple wilt. The most common pest that feeds on your trees, slowly killing them is the emerald ash borer. Oak and maple wilt are lethal diseases that obviously infect oak trees and maple trees; two of the most common species in Maple Grove, MN. Dutch elm disease will spread and pose a threat to legacy elm trees on your property.
