Gardening Tips: Root Flares…Remedial Treatment
Many of my friends and clients have asked me to blog about a few of my gardening tips…so here I am! One infographic I wanted to share today address root flares and how to treat them. Three important things to remember:
- Do NOT scrape or scar roots.
- Do NOT use shovels.
- Use Air Spade, hand trowel, gentle water blasting or brushes.
If your trees are sick this can help them to recover:
Improper mulching, trunk flare disorders, soil compaction and sandy, infertile soils can often prevent newly installed landscape plants from flourishing, and can cause premature death of established trees. If you are moving into a new home and investing in landscaping, use these tips listed above to prevent this from happening!
Have a wonderful weekend and stay cool out there!
