Intro Paragraph
Spring is the season of renewal — and that goes for your trees too. After a long Kansas winter, proper spring maintenance ensures healthy growth, reduces storm damage risks, and enhances your property’s appearance. At B&B Tree Company, we help Wichita homeowners keep their trees in peak condition. Here are our top tips for spring tree care.
1. Inspect for Winter Damage
Check trees for broken branches, cracks in the bark, or leaning trunks. Winter storms can stress trees, and spotting early damage helps prevent future hazards.
2. Schedule Pruning
Spring is an ideal time to prune most trees. Remove dead or diseased limbs, shape overgrowth, and improve airflow within the canopy to support strong growth.
3. Refresh the Mulch
In Spring apply a fresh layer of mulch around the base of trees to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth. Be sure not to pile it against the trunk (known as “volcano mulching”).
4. Water Wisely
As temperatures warm, trees need consistent moisture — especially young or newly planted ones. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall.
5. Apply Fertilizer (If Needed)
Spring is a good time to test your soil and determine if your trees need a nutrient boost. A slow-release fertilizer can support robust leaf and root development.
6. Watch for Pests
With warm weather comes insects. Keep an eye out for early signs of infestation such as chewed leaves, discoloration, or visible bugs. Early treatment prevents long-term damage.
