Professional Landscaper Offers Advice for Fruit Tree Care Next Year

16 December 2011 – With this year’s spring and summer season not being the most bountiful for fruit-bearing trees and the forecast for next year being pretty much a repeat of what happened, professional landscaper Bruce Kreitler offers some advice for homeowners who want to take care of their fruit trees.

First of all, Keitler advises gardening and landscaping enthusiasts to start working on their fruit trees as soon as now, to help alleviate stress built up from the previous year. This is a bit tricky, however, as options reliant on water and nutrient circulation from roots to canopies are unavailable, owing to how most fruit trees will have shed their leaves around this time of the month.

Fertilizing as soon as buds break is still recommended, but more than that, getting the soil the trees are in into better condition for the coming months is more of a priority. Soil condition can make even poorly growing plants turn into great fruit bearers, but poor soil simply cannot support healthy fruit trees. Aside from conditioning the soil, it would be ideal to mulch any open spaces around the fruit trees. While you’re at it, if you can install drip irrigation, that would work out great as a water-wise supplemental irrigation system later on.

An alternative to mulching is necessary if you don’t have the open space. You can use composts and peat mosses by applying it over or through tree turf. It’s a bit more difficult, but it not only helps the trees but also the grass around it. You can also consider aeration. While it is not something typically done in residential settings, the seasons of this year just past might justify it.

On a final note, you can take advantage of the winter season to “work in the dirt” and help your plants – not just fruit trees. An extra measure would be to obtain some tools and instructions for a soil test where you can get specifics on the nutrients that your soil is providing your fruit trees, and apply fertilizer to target areas lacking in nutrition. This might take some assistance from your landscapers Austin however.
