Trees are silent giants. They set focal points, create a certain atmosphere, provide shade and are an important habitat for birds and other animals. If you have an edible tree, you can also probably reap a nice harvest year after year.
Although trees are robust and resilient, they also need the right care. In this article, you will learn what you can do to ensure the health of the trees in your garden.
The be-all and end-all of tree care: Proper watering
Water is life and watering trees properly is the single most important factor contributing to the health of your tree. We have already written a detailed article on this topic, which you can find here: How can I water trees properly?

Fertilizing trees
Depending on the location and type of tree, it is important that you fertilize your tree occasionally. Here you will find the most important information on the subject Fertilizing trees.
Mulching trees
Mulching is a gardening technique that is unfortunately not very well known. It protects the soil from drying out, reduces weed growth and gradually supplies the tree with nutrients. In this article you will find the most important information about Mulching trees.
Pruning trees
Regular pruning promotes the growth and health of your tree, especially fruit trees. The topic of tree pruning is very complex and exceeds our scope in this blog. We therefore recommend that you buy a good book on the subject of tree pruning. You can also find important information online here in this post.
pest control
Pests can weaken even the strongest tree. Watch for early signs of pest infestation, such as discolored leaves. Early diagnosis is the key to successful control. We definitely recommend using natural remedies such as beneficial insects or organic sprays to maintain the ecological balance in the garden.
Winter protection: well prepared for the cold season
Some trees need protection in winter, especially young trees and those that are not native. A layer of mulch protects the roots from frost, and a jute sack around the trunk prevents frost damage to the bark. If necessary, you can also cover sensitive trees with a reed mat or fleece. Another option is to Lime paint.
Observe the tree and build a relationship
We recommend that you observe the tree and get to know it better. How is it developing? Is it healthy? Important indicators for its leaves are leaves, fruit and growth. What does your tree need?
