Prepare Your Trees for Winter with Expert Care!

Ensure your trees thrive through Upstate NY’s harsh winter with these essential steps from Anjoe Tree Service, serving Albany, Colonie, Troy, and surrounding areas:

  • Prune Dead or Weak Branches: Remove dead, damaged, or weak branches to prevent them from falling during heavy snow or ice storms, protecting your property and tree health.
  • Mulch for Root Protection: Apply a 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch around tree bases to insulate roots, retain moisture, and protect against freezing temperatures.
  • Wrap Young Trees: Protect young or thin-barked trees with tree wraps to prevent frost cracks and sunscald caused by fluctuating winter temperatures.
  • Inspect for Pests and Disease: Schedule a professional inspection to identify and treat any pest or disease issues before winter, ensuring trees enter dormancy healthy.
  • Water Deeply Before Freeze: Give trees a thorough watering in late fall to hydrate roots, especially evergreens, to combat winter drought stress.
