Should you entertain the idea of expanding your arboreal family, late winter is an opportune moment. The cooler temperatures provide a conducive environment for the new additions to acclimate before the arrival of summer's warmth.

Mulch Mastery:

Elevate your tree care regimen by applying a layer of mulch around the base of your trees. This acts as a protective shield, regulating soil temperature, curbing weed growth, and preserving essential soil moisture. We sell woodchip mulch through our sister business: Firewood Fuel MK.

Works to Approach with Caution:

Conservative Evergreen Attention:

While the late winter months allow for certain pruning activities, exercise caution when contemplating extensive pruning for your evergreen trees. Allow these specimens to retain their winter charm until the warmer days of spring.

Temperature-Considerate Planting:

Exercise prudence when introducing frost-sensitive trees to your garden. Check local weather forecasts to avoid exposing these additions to unfavorable late frost conditions.

Moderate Watering Practices:

Resist the impulse to overwater your trees during this period. The colder temperatures naturally reduce water uptake, and excessive moisture may lead to complications such as root rot. Opt for measured and strategic watering to sustain your trees.
