Fresh Produce - 11 Exciting Benefits to Improve Your Health!

"Visiting a Timberland, Nursery, or Garden Center can be an enjoyable and peaceful time. Taking a look at all of the plants, shrubs, and trees and imagining how they will suit your landscaping strategies. But there are some vital things you require to take a look at prior to you buy; otherwise your stunning plant or tree, that looked so great when you purchased it, will turn your landscape into an eyesore.

A Real Story:

Nancy enjoys plants and trees, nature, and wildlife; but she simply purchased a brand-new house in a new advancement that has minimal landscaping and no personal privacy. Spring Time comes and Nancy is excited to improve her landscape. So Nancy goes to her regional garden center to select some plants and trees. She is so happy when she gets here; all the plants and trees look so good. Nancy desires immediate personal privacy so she chooses the greatest trees they have, however they are too big for her to handle so she has the garden center provide and plant the trees. She watches as the crew at the Garden Center moves her trees off to the side. She flinches as they pull her tree out of the others since she can hear the branches breaking as they get caught on the other trees.

A year goes by and the trees that Nancy had planted just don't look as good as they did in the garden center. A few of her Spruce Trees have brown branches on the bottom and they look type of yellow. Nancy calls up the garden center to complain, they come out and say that the tree is fine and is simply a little stressed. They state it will fill out next year and will look terrific. ""OK"" Nancy says.

Well, next year comes, and Nancy's Trees do not look any better, however it is still not dead and by this time its warranty has actually ended. Year after Year the tree looks to barley hold on. The branches are thinning and slowly the tree dies. Now Nancy wishes she had actually never ever purchased those trees. If just Nancy had read my short article she could have had a tree that will always look as excellent as it did the day she bought it.

Don't be Nancy!

Here are some things to Consider:

Rootball Size - This is the biggest aspect of why your tree will suffer down the road. Trees require roots - The more the much better! Christmas Trees look great when you buy them, however what takes place buy New Years - they die. A great deal of Garden Centers are offering trees that are not much better than Christmas Trees. It only makes good sense from their perspective. Dirt is incredibly heavy and things that are heavy ended up being pricey. They are more expensive to move, plant, and install. It is less expensive for them to need to replace a tree if it dies than to sell a tree that is predestined to live. The size of a rootball will tell you how it will look down the roadway. If one garden center is more affordable, do not simply compare the tree but compare the roots.

How it is watered - Lots of Garden Centers water their trees various methods and some do not seem to water them at all. As soon as the rootball has been dried, a lot of damage has already been done. Make sure the location where you are purchasing your trees is keeping them watered.

Potted or Balled and Burlapped - Do not be fooled into believing that if you are buying it potted, in some way it is better than balled and burlapped. It is not unusual in the industry for a tree to be removed early in the spring and put in a pot, rather of placed in burlap. All this does is make you think that it was grown in the pot. Be sure to ask for how long it has actually been in the pot. If you get a balled and burlapped tree make certain that the burlap and wire basket is tight; if it is loose, root damage will happen when it is moved around.

Guarantee - This is a big misunderstanding, I have replaced much of my competitors' trees that allegedly had a warranty, but the tree was not dead - just 1/2 dead and ugly - so they do not change it. Other times the client was informed by the garden center that they did not water the tree and they were not going to change it. While the customer might have not given it the appropriate amount of water at all times, if you get a tree that has a larger root system you have a lot more wiggle space to make errors.

How it is Handled - The more a tree is managed the more root damage can take place. The best is if a tree spade, installed on a truck moves it directly from the field to your yard. If you can not go that route make sure that they are utilizing the proper devices to plant the trees. Couple of things are even worse for a tree than to be dropped, kicked, pulled, and pried; this is what will happen if they are not utilizing the appropriate equipment to plant the tree."
