Good Morning Folks! Treecosys here with your daily blog!

This is my first blog here on Greenopolis, and I figured, "Hey, What would be a great way to start out my blog?" Then I thought to myself, Why not talk about the life of a Tree. I've always enjoyed just going out in the middle of winter, and watching the trees move in the wind, then in the Autumn, I go outside and see my trees changing and their leaves falling. One may forget that in reality, Trees are very much  alive and that our actions towards them and our environment, even on a small level, actually makes a big difference. Here are my top 5 tips to help keep your trees nice and lush for years to come!

#1: Make sure that you cut away dead branches from your trees. Not only will this help the tree to regrow branches and become more lush, not to mention making your property more appealing.

#2: Make sure you position your trees away from driveways and sidewalks. The roots of the tree, overtime, will raise the concrete in order to grow.

#3: In order to utilize your property optimally, make sure you know the type of soil, as well as the acidicity, rainfall patterns, common plants which grow well, etc. If your neighbors are gardeners, they may know this, if not, you can find out from your local Lawn and Garden stores, as well as various internet sites concerning the subject.

#4: Make sure you space out your trees well, as to allow for root growth and amble sunlight. Again, in order to space the trees correctly, make sure you know how much room you have to work with, the amount of trees you which to place within a vicinity, and the estimated growth of the trees you are trying to plant. In smaller settings, it would not be wise to plant Giant Oak Trees or trees which take up a large proximity. A Cherry Tree or perhaps a Bradford Pear would be more appropriate.

5: If Ivy or Kudzu (Pronounced: Kood-zoh) begins to attack your tree, Make sure that you eradicate it. If you have any type of farm animals, such as cows or goat, they will eat the Kudzu and Ivy, and actually love it! If not, cut the apical meristem (the stem by which the ivy grows from or Main Stem.)  Also, If you'd like, YOU yourself can eat Kudzu! Just dig up the roots and boil like you would a potato! It's a great protien! 

 P.S.: Be careful around gardens and fruit trees, Though the Goats will eat the Ivy and Kudzu, they may also eat your garden  as well!

Thank you very much for reading! Have a wonderful day!
