We would like to remind our network and community about a few tree tips for May!

🌳 Watering Wisely

• Deep water trees once a week (especially young or newly planted trees).
• Early morning is best to reduce evaporation.
• Established trees may not need much watering unless there’s a drought, but monitor soil moisture.

🪴 Planting

• May is the tail end of planting season—you can still plant trees, but earlier is better.
• Choose heat-tolerant, drought-resistant native trees like:
  • Texas Red Oak
  • Cedar Elm
  • Bur Oak
  • Chinquapin Oak
  • Mexican Plum

🧪 Fertilizing (If Needed)

• If your tree didn’t leaf out strongly, consider a slow-release, balanced fertilizer.
• Skip fertilizing healthy native trees; over-fertilization can encourage pests or weak growth.

🌿 Mulching

• Refresh mulch around trees (2–4 inches thick), but keep it away from the trunk base.
• Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

🪱 Watch for Pests and Diseases

• Bagworms begin hatching in May—check cedar, junipers, and other evergreens.
• Watch for signs of aphids, scale insects, or borers—honeydew, leaf curling, or holes.
• Use horticultural oils or insecticidal soap if needed.

✂️ Pruning

• Light pruning only (remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches).
• Avoid major pruning now—it’s better done in winter or late summer to reduce stress.
• Be cautious with oak trees: Do NOT prune them from February through June to avoid oak wilt.
