There's good news on its way. It's pretty straightforward to give your trees the care they need to stay healthy and fight off diseases.

Here are some tips on how to care for your trees to prevent future trouble.

Mulch helps protect trees especially the younger ones from stress and gives your garden a balanced healthy look. But don't overdo it and too little mulch, does little to protect your trees.

Start your mulching about 6 inches from the tree base, and extend outwards to the end of the trees drip line just beneath the end of the tree canopy.

If necessary, install the trunk out of the base of the tree to keep the nutrient mortar system from being cut. Trunk counsel to protect trees from small animals and rodents.

Install fencing if necessary.

Fertilizer
