Imagine the world of trees that could speak. It’s likely that trees would gossip about things like the weather, a bat perched on a branch or even Steve, your next-door neighbor, who steals oranges at midnight. I’m not able to promise that they speak. But, I do know that trees need attention. Sydney residents, consider pruning and enhancing your tree’s health to ensure a healthy garden.

First Things First: Learn Your Trees

Sydney’s climate is unpredictable, with sunlit days followed by wild downpours. The result? A home that appeals to many species of trees but can also be challenging. It could be that you have a giant eucalyptus tree or a friendly fig with fruit. Know what tree species you have. Knowing your trees is half the battle.

You don’t want to neglect your trees or their babies.

Like deciding the amount of caffeine that makes you productive instead of jittery, watering trees requires an artistic touch. If you want to water most trees – from an oak tree to a gum tree – aim for a soak instead of a sprinkle. Imagine your weekly hydration event. But don’t do it too much. No one likes to have a garden that has become swampy. If you’re experiencing a Sydney classic dry spell then a few more litres of water won’t hurt.

Prune your trees with a haircut

A good pruning job can give your tree the feeling of a brand new trim. You should do this in early or late winter before your tree starts to grow. Take out dead stems. Also, trim any branches with a rogue look. Even though it might not propel your trees to Vogue’s cover, it will definitely keep them healthy and gorgeous. Also, safety is always first. You shouldn’t use a staircase if it’s likely that you will close your eyes to wish yourself one foot taller.

Mulching Magi: The Blanket of Feeding

Mulch acts as a cozy blanket to keep roots warm in cold weather. As you lay the mulch, be sure to keep the trunk in mind. A hug can suffocate rather than nourish. Mulching will help trap moisture as well as keep weeds away that are eager to steal nutrients from your beautiful woody creatures.

Check for Invading Pests & Diseases

Just like when an unknown aunt comes to dinner uninvited, you should take care of pests or diseases immediately. You should be on the lookout to see if you notice any unusual or wilting spots, leaves or anything that makes you wonder whether your tree has started creating abstract paintings in its spare-time. There are many quick solutions, including natural pesticides, beneficial bugs, and at the worst, just a casual chat with a nearby arborist.

Hidden Heroes Mind the Roots

As the Wi Fi of the tree, the roots maintain the system’s connectivity and smooth operation. Compacted soil, like an overly long bear hug can create havoc for the root system. Keep your soil from becoming compacted by keeping heavy vehicles away and aerating it gently.

Sydney Storms: A Climatic Review

Sydney is known for its capricious weather. It can bring you scorching sun or downpours more suitable to Noah. Adaptability can be your best friend. In the summer you can water your plants more “enthusiastically.” However, in the winter it is important to ensure good drainage. This simple adjustment could determine your trees’ resilience to the seasonal shifts.

When you nurture these green foes, your investment could last for decades. A tree can be a source of beauty, shade or a quiet whisper for the wind. Also, you can chat with your neighbors when feeling introverted. You’re welcome!
