Tree Planting Tips

from: Lawn and Garden Magic



Planting a trees isn't something you may think is a part of garden design -- but it should be. Not only do trees give your garden more beauty, color and texture, they also provide your home with shade from the sun during the summer, plus a wonderful gathering place for backyard barbecues. In addition, trees help keep the air around your home cleaner.

Similar to bushes and shrubs, trees can be purchased when they're small. Therefore, it's very important to know what kind of tree you'll be buying, how tall it will be once it's fully matured, and how far it will spread at maturity.

A tree's spread is how far in either direction the branches extend at full growth. If a tree has a spread of 15 feet, for instance, this means it will be about fifteen feet at it's widest point once it's fully mature. This is important to note about trees before planting, especially if you live in a city or urban area.

When trees mature, if they've been placed in the wrong areas they can cause dangers and problems you may not have considered when they were still young and small. The primary problem people run into with planting trees is overhead power lines. If you plant a tree directly beneath a powerline, you'll find yourself or the power company constantly trimming it to keep it from touching those power lines.

Knowing how large your tree will grow before you plant it will allow you to select the best location. Never put a tree near a powerline if it will eventually be 25 feet tall with a spread of 15 feet, for instance. You may, however, want to put it on the west side of your home -- at least 20 feet or more away from any utility lines - because it will be an excellent source of shade and energy savings for your home during the hottest months of summer.

There are plenty of smaller and dwarf trees that can be planted under or near utility lines, of course, so knowing the full grown size is important when making your tree selections.

You'll also want to find out what the tree looks like at different times of the year. Some trees produce beautiful flowers in some seasons, for instance, but if your gardens are designed to be red and white, you might not want to have a tree which produces yellow flower blooms.

Trees also come with a wide variety of leaves and barks. Some trees look extremely interesting in the winter time even though they don't have leaves on the branches, simply because they have an unusual type of bark. Some tree barks will actually change color during the seasons like leaves do.

So carefully select the types of trees you will plant and the locations they will live in, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how finished they make your lawn and garden look in the end.
