The Secret to Healthy, Fast-Growing Trees

FAST GROWING TREES _ HYBRID WILLOW TREES The care you give your trees in the early stages of their growth will affect their shape, strength and life span. In their first few seasons, young trees expend a lot of energy to establish their roots in the soil. They are very susceptible to heat and drought so by following a few easy good –practice tree care tips you can provide your trees with the best environment for their growth and ensure they look their best.

Tree Watering

Experts agree that the best way to irrigate your soil is through slow, deep applications of water on a regulated schedule. For the best conditions, you should have soil that is damp (not soggy) and which dries for short periods to allow enough oxygen to penetrate the soil. Tree watering bags are an easy way to avoid the common problem of over-watering, which is as harmful as watering too little.
The bag is placed on the ground around the tree, where it releases water over a 4 to 6-hour period. It can be used for all kinds of trees and shrubs, from newly-planted to 6” in diameter. The tree watering bags allow the soil to remain moist up to a depth that includes all the roots, helping the roots and your tree grow faster.
Using mulch in combination with a good watering system is even more effective. Spreading natural mulch on the ground around the tree will also help to protect the soil from extreme temperatures and keep the right amount of moisture. In addition, it helps to stop root competition from weeds by preventing their growth.
Protection
While growing, your garden is at risk from small and large animals as well as wind, chemical sprays and equipment. Using a tree shelter or deer tube will protect young trees for 5-7 years and create a greenhouse-like environment that promotes seedling growth. One can buy different sizes of these solid, translucent tubes adapted to protect trees and shrubs from rabbits, deer or any other hungry wildlife and the shelters are suitable for both home or field plantings.
Pruning and Disease Control
Finally, good pruning and care against pests and diseases are also important factors in healthy tree growth. It is important to prune at the right time (never in the fall) with the right tools and technique, and early in the life of the tree. This will give it the best shape and a longer life span.
Pests and diseases are a constant threat to trees and shrubs. It is worth investing some time getting to know about particular threats faced by your garden. http://www.dslfarms.com

FAST GROWING TREES .

As the winter comes to an end you can still take advantage of planting bare-root trees and shrubs. There are still some left at the garden centers in areas where the ground is not frozen solid for the winter. And many of the mail-order nurseries are only now sending out their stock. Bare-root trees and shrubs are those that are dug and packaged dormant for sale or shipment. The great part of bare-root shopping is that you get a wider choice of plant varieties at a lower price than in the spring or summer when you will be buying plants in active growth being sold in pots.

Check out the wide range of fast growing trees,bare-root plants available now at DSLFARMS, on the Internet and in mail order catalogs. They will soon be disappearing and you will be limited by a selection of the heavier, potted specimens. Bare-root plants are lighter to carry, easier to plant, less expensive to buy and more likely to survive when planted in the cool and damp of late winter and early spring. By planting bare-root trees and shrubs in unfrozen soil before they wake up, they will suffer less shock. When they break dormancy they will awaken to find themselves fully planted in their new homes and ready to dive into spring growth without pause.>>> GET YOUR "fast growing trees" & "HYBRID WILLOW TREES" NOW! http//:www.dslfarms.com
