General Tree Care

Water
To help overcome transplant shock, you need to water heavily once or twice a week during dry periods.

Pines
Fertilize the first year after your tree is tranpanted to help overcome transplant shock. Use a slow release formulation only (we offer this service).

Trim PINES in late June or early July ONLY. Trim only the NEW GROWTH. Trim annually to keep the fullness of your tree.

Deer will eat your PINES if they are hungry. Take steps to protect your tree (from fall until spring). PINES lose their old needles in September/October. This is normal.

Spruce Trees
Fertilize the same as the pines.

Trim your SPRUCE anytime after the new growth has hardened. Late July to spring. Do not trim after the buds have started growing in spring. Trim only the NEW GROWTH.

Deer "normally" will not bother SPRUCE trees.
