Sure, trees are all around. They provide us with shade in the summer. The offer us fruit, flowers, and a convenient place to hang tire swings. But chances are you probably don’t put a whole lot of thought into how to properly care for your trees. Most of us don’t think about it at all—until a particularly strong storm blows one down, uproots, or falls on our cars or homes. Knowing how to care for our trees is very important, however, and can help us avoid all of these disasters. A tree, like any other living organism, has a set of needs to grow and maintain the balance of its own system. Things that we do to our trees could be potentially dangerous, and neglecting the needs of our trees can have dire consequences.
