Mature Tree Preservation: The Benefits Are Worth The Effort

 

Well-preserved mature trees add irreplaceable value to any property. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, mature trees also absorb carbon dioxide, odors and pollutant gases, provide oxygen, prevent erosion of soil, and cool the landscape. Many trees are capable of long outliving us, yet trees that live outside of forests often don’t get the chance. Ecological conditions for trees in urban, suburban, and even rural environments are difficult, and a tree’s ability to cope with stresses grows lower as it ages.

 

While young trees are composed of mostly vibrant living tissue, mature trees are mostly established wood, which cannot regenerate and needs relative stability to ensure survival. As a tree grows older, its immune system also weakens, becoming increasingly less tolerant of disturbances to its environment. The two greatest assets to any mature tree are a healthy, low-impact ecological environment and the constant watchful eye of an expert. Catching and correcting any stresses facing a mature tree: from poor soil conditions and soil compaction, to the presence of various insects or diseases, will help to extend its lifespan.

 

Healthy mature trees are are often the most stunning elements of our landscapes and are usually worth the extra attention they require. Your arborist will help you develop a program that creates healthy, sustainable environments for your mature trees and allows them to thrive for many years to come.
