WINTER IS COMING!! Before winter officially arrives, there are a few things you can do to prepare your trees for the hazardous weather.
Plant the tree. Now is a great time to plant new trees in your yard, just make sure to get them planted prior to a hard freeze. That way they can enjoy the mild weather and frequent rainfall that help roots grow strong. You also want to mulch any new or established trees, but be careful to avoid volcano mulch (mulch piled high against the trunk of the tree).
Prune the canopy. Fall is a great time of year to have a certified arborist take look at the structure of your trees and make recommendations on how much to prune or trim. Proper pruning allows those brutal winter winds to pass through the trees which results in less breakage and damage, protecting your property.
Feed the roots. Even during the winter months, your trees’ roots system continues to absorb nutrients until 
the ground is frozen. Fertilizing your trees helps them stay healthy during freezing temperatures and prepares them to return strong in the spring.
Spray the tree. Applying dormant oil after insects have laid their eggs will stop insect larvae from developing further. Come springtime, you’ll have less bugs chewing on your fresh tree buds and fruit. No Worries!! 
Dormant oils are less toxic to beneficial bugs and only remove the bad ones.
