TREE EDUCATION
North Central Florida is known to experience hurricanes, thunderstorms, and heavy winds. Unfortunately, these violent storms can uproot the beloved trees in our yards, parks, and natural areas.
If a tree was recently uprooted in your yard, do not fret—it can likely be salvaged. With over 40 years of tree management experience, SkyFrog Tree Service can help your tree survive the stress of an unexpected uprooting. After a sudden storm, our tree care experts can carefully apply a plant growth regulator to the tree to keep nutritional resources within the affected root system. This regulator can also promote the production of fibrous roots and chlorophyll, helping the tree to fight infection. timate.
Our tree service professionals undergo consistent training to stay up-to-date on industry standards and best practices. Consult a board certified arborist from SkyFrog Tree Service today for more information on tree replanting and care.
Smaller uprooted trees are easier to replant due to their convenient size. Generally, a tree that is less than 10 feet tall can easily be pulled back into a vertical position. Trees that are larger than this are more difficult to replant without the use of professional-grade equipment.
If you have a tree that was suddenly uprooted, quickly cover the exposed roots to prevent them from drying. It is imperative to swiftly cover the roots as soon as possible, especially if the tree was uprooted during a drought or a sweltering summer. In this heat, a small uprooted tree will die within just one or two days.
Routine tree care services can restore your tree to its original health. For best results, gently return your uprooted tree to an upright position. Next, prune any broken branches or roots using clean tools. Sharp, disinfected tools help minimize the risk of infection as the roots regrow.
Once pruned, place the tree into a hole that is at the same depth the tree was previously in. Cover exposed roots with soil until the tree is straight, and then thoroughly water the tree until the soil is moist. If preferred, mulch can be added to the base of the tree to retain moisture and obstruct weed growth.
If these care tips are closely followed and the tree is regularly monitored, a small uprooted tree will typically recover within a few months.
One of the many struggles of do-it-yourself tree removal is gravitational pull. Tree limbs and the tree trunk itself have gravitational pull, making it difficult to anticipate where a tree limb will fall, especially if it is heavier. Some tree limbs require hoisting down to avoid significant injury or damaging nearby structures. Contact us today for our tree removal services, so we can take care of tree trimming and tree limb removal needs.
Our team of master arborists can create a custom tree care plan for your backyard. If the uprooted tree was too large—or if the root damage was too extensive—SkyFrog Tree Service can assist homeowners with replacing lost trees and establishing new growth.
