How To Heal a Tree?

Now you need to know how you can heal the sick tree to get rid of the disease as soon as possible. If you will delay the healing process then the ultimate solution will be hiring tree removal services as tree will get die soon.

1. Change the Fertilizer

If you are using high nitrogen fertilizers and toxic chemical pesticides then stop using them because they can kill useful nematodes which are helpful microbes and play imperative role in plant growth. Synthetic fertilizers are normally high in salt and change the structure and chemistry of the soil. As they kill good insects, they become a cause of change in soil structure which further impacts the growth of a tree.

2. Remove Excess Soil

It is essential to remove the excess soil as it can minimize the availability of the oxygen to the roots. Many a time the upper soil is either eroded soil or fill soil. Due to this eroded soil, roots face grilling and circling. So, such soil is not good for the healthy growth of the tree. This step is one of the most important steps for the treatment of the tree.

3. Spray

To control the disease, entire tree and the soil should be fed with spray. Spray the branches of the trees, shoots, and twigs. Do not forget to spray the ground. As spraying is advantageous for the trees, you can consider spraying the trees after constant intervals to prevent disease if it does not sound expensive.

Although spraying is a great way to get rid of the disease in order to heal the tree, however, if the tree is still battling the disease then hire the assistance from the professional tree services or tree removal services Bethesda.
