After the Unusual Winter Weather, Do You Need a Tree Consultation?

The enormous pine tree in your front yard has had a steady fall and has already been hit by winter in Rocklin, CA. Your pine is having unusual winter weather, with ice on one day and temperatures in the 50s the next. Will you need to call a Certified Arborist in Rocklin, CA for a tree consultation if current weather has an impact on your tree?

Trees may experience structural and developmental concerns as a result of unusual winter weather. We've had an unusually warm winter here. While this may be delightful to some, it has an unmistakable impact on our ecosystem, particularly our trees. It's difficult for trees to adjust and cope with unusual winter weather when they have an unexpectedly warm day followed by a cold spell.

Root Shock Can Occur   
Winter shock can affect a tree that is not entirely dormant over the winter. Cold weather has an impact on the entire tree, but it is most noticeable in the root system.

The growth of the tree's roots is slowed by unusual winter weather that ranges from unexpectedly mild to freezing the next day. Root growth decreases as soil temperatures drop below 36°F, and growth stops once the earth has frozen. Roots can be harmed if this growth pause does not occur. Mulch around the base of your trees will help to insulate them. This insulation creates a barrier between the cold, chilly air and the soil, keeping the tree's roots warm. Consider grinding your Christmas tree and insulating your trees with the mulch. While mulching is a do-it-yourself project, professional assistance is always suggested because Certified Arborists know exactly where and how to safeguard your trees with the best tree care service in Rocklin, CA.

Spring Bloom is Expected to be Delayed
The unusual winter weather will inhibit the blossoming of trees in the spring. With this pause in growth, a tree consultation with a Certified Arborist is recommended. Don't worry if your tree is still healthy but no blossoms are forming. Your tree's blossoming has become more erratic as a result of the unusually warm winter. The quantity of flowers in the spring will be lower, and the quality may suffer as a result. While this does not qualify you for a tree consultation, there is no harm in contacting a Certified Arborist to ensure the health of your tree.
