HOME IS WHERE YOUR TREES ARE : Page 12
In contrast, try feeding your hungry trees generously.
Relieve their self-strangulating roots. Give them a "hair-do" by raising droopy branch levels, pruning out deadwood, thinning overgrowths. Treat their scars and sores with edged tools and wound dressing. And what do you get? Young or old, your trees will respond with surges of new life and energy, silent and slow as is the way of trees, but nonetheless visible, grateful, and rewarding.
