1. Limit Your Tree Staking – People commonly stake their trees to provide protections and promote both trunk and root growth. While staking can be successful in this if done properly, many people do not stake correctly or stake too much causing the opposite effect. Improper staking of your tree gives your tree an artificial support instead of a naturally supportive trunk and root system, causing your tree to use its resources to grow taller, but hindering its use of resources to grow wider and stronger. If you are considering staking your tree and want to make sure it’s done correctly so you don’t harm your tree, call Buckley Tree and our Milwaukee tree care professionals will be glad to help you!
   
2. Protect the Critical Root Zone of Your Tree – This is very important for maintaining your trees optimal conditions. Your tree’s critical root zone (CRZ) is the area below your tree extending out to the drip line. The best way to determine your CRZ is to measure the diameter of your tree and multiply it by 12in. This is just an estimate, and there are many variables that could affect your specific trees CRZ such as soil quality and tree species. This zone is your key tree protection zone, and can make or break your tree’s overall health.
