Seasonal Tips
Fall: Preparing Your Trees for Des Moines Winters
by Stephen Carlson, Director of Sales
Water until freeze-up. Deep, slow watering in a dry fall is the best winter protection you can give a tree, especially young trees in Ankeny, Grimes and West Des Moines neighborhoods.
Watch your evergreens. Winter burn shows up in late winter on the side that faces the wind. An anti-transpirant applied November to December reduces it.
Schedule dormant pruning. Most trees prune best in winter, and oaks should only be pruned during dormancy to prevent the spread of oak wilt.
Check for structural problems before ice and snow. Split trunks and weak unions are good candidates for cabling before winter loads hit.
