5 Advantages Of Hiring A Tree Removal Company

5 ADVANTAGES OF HIRING A TREE REMOVAL COMPANY

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Trees sometimes need removal. Sometimes it is because they are dead, or dying. Other times there has been damage from a storm or homeowners simply would like to have the tree removed for safety or to use the space for something new. Whatever the reasons the advantages of hiring a tree removal company are clear. We have examined a few of them below.

SAFETY & PROTECTING PROPERTY

While many of us image cutting a tree down is as easy as swinging an axe or plowing through the trunk with a chainsaw, it does require more fineness and training to do it properly. Youtube is chalked full of videos of a couple good old boys hooking up their pickup truck and confidently getting to work, only to find that the tree falls right into the roof of the house. This isn’t just damaging and expensive to fix, but with people in the home it can be potentially life threatening.

It isn’t just home or bystanders that are in danger. Chainsaws mixed with ladders and a dash of inexperience can be a recipe for disaster. Professional tree removal companies have the right tools, the right safety equipment, and the right training to handle the job safely to avoid harm.

QUICKER TREE REMOVAL

Large trees require the use of ropes and specialized cutting tools to bring it down. The largest trees may even require either a crane to help safely take it down or for the tree to be removed in manageable sections. This is only compounded if the tree is close to the house, or worse close to power lines. Without the proper training and tools it can take a lot of time to take the tree apart a piece at a time while trying to prevent damage to the house or power lines. Professionals do it quicker with the right tools, such as cranes that can lift sections away from power lines. Pros also know where to cut and how to make the process safe.

GREATER PEACE OF MIND

There are a few ways that hiring a tree removal company gives you greater peace of mind. Firstly it means that you won’t be trying to climb into the tree with cutting tools or a chainsaw. This keeps you safely on the ground and eliminates any danger to you. Professionals also provide peace of mind knowing that they are trained to do the job safely and not damage your property. Tree removal companies carry insurance to guard you against any property that is damaged during the process.

CONTROLLING THE CHAOS

Tree removal is an orderly process, yet there are a lot of leaves, sticks, twigs and debris that end up on the ground around where the tree was removed and on the way to the chipper or trucks that are hauling away the waste. Professional tree removal involves removing all of the debris from your yard.

REMOVING THE STUMP

One of the most stubborn parts of a tree is the stump. They are the widest point and they are securely connected to the root system. Tree removal companies typically include services to use specialized machinery to remove the stump and erase all evidence there was a tree in that spot. This frees up your ability to make use of that area as you please.

Wrapping Palm Trees With Christmas Lights

WRAPPING PALM TREES WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Phoenix is known for a lot of things and palm trees is one of them. If you’re interested in how to install Christmas lights for palm trees, keep reading. If you and your family would love to have that wonderful winter wonderland look in your landscape, wrapping your outdoor trees in lights is the way to go. With some planning and a few measurements it can be easy and fun to get the spirit of the holidays. Wrapping palm trees with Christmas lights is a way a lot of Phoenix valley residents get into the spirit. One of the most popular trees in the Phoenix area gets plenty of attention during the holidays. If you want to wrap your palm up in a bright and shiny coat of Christmas lights here’s how.

TOOLS & SUPPLIES YOU’LL NEED INCLUDE
TWO LADDERS, TWIST TIES, OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD, LIGHT DUTY STAPLE GUN, MULTIPLE STRINGS LIGHTS AND A HELPER.

WRAPPING PALM TREES

Before you break out the ladder you will need to take a trip to the store to buy some lights. Make sure you have everything you need before you get started so you don’t have to pause and run to the store. Leaving ladders or tools out while you are gone creates safety hazards and taking everything back in is a hassle.

BUYING THE STRANDS OF LIGHTS

One of the first things to think of is having brown cords for the light strands. They help hide the wires and make the lights more noticeable. Using LED lights cuts down on power consumption and glow without heat. They are safe and energy efficient option. If you want to add some pop you can choose to have a different color of lights at the top and in the fronds of your palm. Read the packaging as you select lights and make sure they are rated for outdoor use. Depending on the width of the trunk and height of the tree you will need more strands. You will also want to buy more if you want a tight coil of lights and a brighter look.

WRAPPING THE PALM

Make coiled balls of the light strands to make them easy to handle. You will be able to let them unwind as you go around the tree. Wrap the lights starting at the base of your palm and wind your way up the tree. If the strands of lights are slipping use the light duty staple gun to secure them in place. Make sure you are straddling the wire and not shooting through it with your staple gun. This can be a fire hazard, so take care when using your staple gun. For higher areas break out the ladders and have a friend help you continue to wind the lights up the tree. You can hand the ball of lights back and forth.

LIGHTING FRONDS

Once you get all of the lights onto the trunk you need to decide if you are going to decorate the fronds, or leaves at the top. Decorating the fronds can be a little tricky but it can really set your landscape apart. If you decided to do this you can run a look of lights down a frond and secure it in place with your twist ties. Choose to light the fronds that are closest to you for safety. Once night falls the higher fronds won’t be visible.

SAFE POWER

As tempting as it might be to simply run an extension cord from the house, make sure you use an extension cord rated for outdoor use. They are rated for use in bad weather, rain and snow. This will prevent dangerous conditions and having to run another cord or ruin light strands.

SAFETY FIRST

The safety of you and your tree are paramount. No one enjoys the holidays when they have fallen from a ladder, got shocked from a wire, or if the tree gets sick from too many punctures. Follow these tips to help make the most of the holiday season.

  • Don’t over staple the strands of lights. Sometimes you won’t need any staples, but if the strands are slipping try to use as few staples as possible. Trees are living things and can be hurt by going too crazy with the staple gun.
  • Use outdoor light strands and outdoor extension cords. Electricity is a useful but dangerous power source and needs to be respected. Use the right strands and cords and make sure when you do have to staple a strand down to your palm that you are not piercing the insulation on the wires.
  • Never try to hand light strands that are plugged in. Not only does it make some types of lights hot to handle but it can lead to a serious shock. This is especially true during stapling of strands.

RESIDENTIAL TREE TRIMMING

If you find some damage or possible signs that your tree might be sick or dying while hanging your lights, give the experts a call. Phoenix Trim-A-Tree is your go to source for diagnosing what is wrong with trees, coming up with plans to save them, or helping remove trees that are beyond saving.

What Is A Certified Arborist?

WHAT IS A CERTIFIED ARBORIST?

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

If you’re searching for “What is a Certified Arborist?” you’re likely either looking for tree services or you might be looking into a course of education. A Certified Arborist is a tree care professional who has been certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). This professional Credential is the result of college education along with passing exams conducted by the ISA. The benefit for business and homeowners is getting exceptional tree care by highly educated and professional Arborists.

WHY HIRE AN ARBORIST?

The definition of an arborist is “someone that has been trained and knows the arts and science about planting, taking care of, and, maintaining of different individual trees. An arborist is knowledgeable in regard to what it is that trees need, as well as trained and knows how to properly care for trees. Hiring an arborist is something one should take seriously.

Getting proper care for a tree could be an investment which could result in substantial returns. When a tree is properly cared for it will be more attractive, which in the long run will add a considerable amount of value to the property it is on. On the other hand, trees that have been poorly maintained could result in a liability. The pruning and/or removal of a tree (especially if they are huge) is very dangerous work. Only professionals that are properly equipped and have had the correct training to handle the removal of trees in a safe matter should be doing this kind of work.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A CERTIFIED ARBORIST?

Someone who has the level of knowledge in the art & science of caring for trees can get certified. An arborist will receive part of this knowledge through experience, part from reading and studying, and finally by taking and passing a very comprehensive examination being able to get certified. This comprehensive examination was developed by several of the most leading experts on caring for trees. Once someone has been certified as an arborist they have to maintain that certification by continuing to stay updated educationally and go by the Code of Ethics. This keeps them up to date with any new techniques as well.

To become a ISA Certified Arborist, one can join the process where individual people can measure the amount of knowledge and competence, which is required to be able to provide the proper care in caring for trees. The ISA Certification is not sponsored, nor is it endorsed by any government. It is the International Society of Arboriculture that handles the administering, this gives professional tree careers a chance to demonstrate how committed they are about this profession and the industry.

The certification is by no means a measure of standards of the practice. The certification is a way of knowing of an individual’s tree knowledge, however, a certification will not guarantee nor ensure of their performance being of quality.

PHOENIX VALLEY CERTIFIED ARBORIST

If you’re looking for service from an Certified Arborist we can help! Phoenix Trim-A-Tree’s Certified Arborist graduated from OSU and has the health of your trees in mind. When you want the best tree care possible you hire the certified professionals.

If you’re searching for how to water a cactus, this guide will help you care for your prickly friend. Did you know, your outdoor cacti require watering too? Below is how you should do just that. If you don’t care for your cacti property they will get sick, die, and need cactus removal. Learn how to water a cactus at your home or business.

QUESTION & ANSWERS ABOUT CUTTING TREES ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY

The answer depends on a couple of different circumstances. Read below to find out more information about removing trees from your property.

MY NEIGHBORS TREE BRANCHES HANG IN MY YARD. CAN I TRIM THEM?

Yes. According to law, you do have the right to trim branches or limbs that extend beyond the property line. Although, the law only allows trimming and cutting to the property line. You can’t go into the other property to cut or destroy the tree. If you harm the tree, then you could be at fault for 3 times the value of the tree. Many trees have a replacement value of $500-$2500 while landmark or ornamental trees can be valued between $20,000-$60,000.

MY NEIGHBOR HAS FRUIT TREES, BUT THE BRANCHES ARE ON MY SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, CAN I EAT THAT FRUIT?

No. The fruit actually belongs to the owner of the tree, so don’t pick the fruit. Courts are often divided on who can have the fallen fruit, so check local laws to see if you can eat the fruit.

MY NEIGHBORS LEAVES KEEP BLOWING IN MY YARD, DO I HAVE A NUISANCE CLAIM?

No. Leaves are actually considered a natural product. Even if the leaves cause damage like clogging pipe or gutters, you have no legal claims against the tree owner. However, the branches are shedding leaves that are hanging over your yard, or the tree is encroaching on your property, you have the right to trim the branches to the property line.

MOST OF A TREE IS HANGING IN MY YARD, BUT THE TRUNK IS IN THE NEIGHBOR’S YARD. WHO DOES THE TREE BELONG TO?

The neighbor will own the tree. As long as that tree trunk is fully in the neighbor’s yard, it will belong to the neighbor. Whenever the trunk is divided by a property line or multiple people it is called a boundary tree. If you have a boundary tree, then all property owners will own the tree and share the responsibility for it. Removing the tree without consent of all owners is against the law.

MY NEIGHBOR DUG UP THEIR YARD, AND IT KILLED MY TREE ON MY SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE. CAN I GET COMPENSATION?

Anyone who engages in injury to the tree, tree cutting or removal without owner permission is liable for compensating the owner.

A STORM KNOCKED MY NEIGHBORS TREE ONTO MY PROPERTY AND DAMAGED MY YARD, HOUSE AND CAR. ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE?

The court will apply the reasonable care standard. If the neighbor tried to maintain the tree branch, and the branch didn’t seem to be threatening to fall, then no. If a reasonable person could have avoided this from happening, then it is deemed an Act of God and the neighbor will not be liable.

MY NEIGHBORS TREE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL FALL ON MY HOUSE. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

All landowners are responsible for maintaining the trees on the property. Legally, they have 2 duties: make inspections and care for the tree. If the neighbor does not remove the dangerous tree, and the tree causes damage then your neighbor is liable. If you have spoken to the neighbor about the tree, and nothing has been done, then you do have laws to protect you. The tree could be a nuisance, which interferes with your use and enjoyment of the property. You could file a claim and if the court finds it true, then the court will order the tree to be removed.

Many cities have ordinances that keep owners from keeping dangerous conditions on their property. If you call the county, they may remove the tree or order the neighbor to do it. Utility companies also have an interest in removal if the condition threatens the equipment. A simple call may cause the utility company to remove the tree.

THE ROOT SPREADING OF MY TREE DAMAGED MY NEIGHBORS SEPTIC TANK. DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?

In many states, the neighbor can trim the tree or roots themselves and does not have a claim against the owner. Other states have conditions that can be met for a law suit.

  • If the tree was planted and not wild
  • If the tree is noxious meaning poisonous or dangerous and caused damage
  • Caused serious harm such as structural damage
  • Neighbor must trim branches that encroach on the property.

How To Water A Cactus

HOW TO WATER A CACTUS

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

If you’re searching for how to water a cactus, this guide will help you care for your prickly friend. Did you know, your outdoor cacti require watering too? Below is how you should do just that. If you don’t care for your cacti property they will get sick, die, and need cactus removal. Learn how to water a cactus at your home or business.

HOW TO WATER A CACTUS

One of the most common questions we’re asked as a nursery is, how to water a cactus. Although each situation varies a little, so if you’re already watering your cacti and it is working, ignore these recommendations. These are just the things we have had success with, your situation may be different.

WATER SLOW AND DEEP

When cacti are in the ground, this technique appears to maintain their stress levels to allow for a more even growth. This technique is often known as ‘deep soaking’. A deep soak is steady and slow, dripping from a garden hose. This is often done between two and six hours. The duration is based on the plant size.

WATER IN POTS

When it comes to cacti growing in pots, we water them twice. First, several pots are watered at once in four-foot sections. We water enough to fill pots. Then, we go back water a second time to ensure a deep and even watering for the soil.

REMEMBER, DAILY TEMPS ARE A FACTOR

When you are watering cacti in a warmer climate, you will need to water more often. Whereas, cooler climates do not require water as often or apply as much. For more information on best amounts to water based on your temperatures, check out the Seasonal Watering Tips below.

SIZE OF PLANT COUNTS

This is another factor, as cacti that is bigger and more established will not require watering as often. This is because the bigger a cactus is, the bigger its storage tank is, which is where the cacti store water until needed (think of a camel’s hump). The bigger this tank, the longer it can go between watering. For instance, larger Saguaro may be fine without watering while a smaller 1-gallon Gold Barrel may require a weekly watering.

DON’T WATER NEWLY PLANTED CACTUS

Adding or repotting your landscape? You should plant them dry and wait on watering. When to water is based on temperatures, the cooler your climate is, the longer you should wait to water. Generally, waiting at least a week is recommended to provide succulent roots enough time for healing prior to exposing them to water. Future watering should only be done when soil has become dry at the roots, but each situation will be different.

HOW OFTEN TO WATER A CACTUS

How often you should water you cactus depends on the season, temperatures, and how long your cactus has been growing. Read below for guidelines on how often you should water your cactus.

SEASONAL WATERING

SUMMER – During this time temperatures reach over 90° for several days at a time. Deep soak is the technique we prefer, giving a slow and steady drip from a hose over several hours, depending on the plant size.

NEWLY PLANTED CACTI – Except for Saguaros, when temperatures during the day reach above 90°, do not water before one week of planting. However, if temperatures are UNDER 90°, do not water before two weeks of planting date.

EXCEPTIONS

There are some exceptions to these recommendations. Agaves need to be watered right after planting if temperatures are above 90°. Although, temperatures under 90° should wait to water. Saguaros should not be watered in most cases, ever. Unless you’re currently experiencing a drought period, and you notice the cacti has started shrinking and it’s very dry. Of course, this does not mean simply start hosing down the plant when the feeling occurs, it should be for good reason. Common sense has become an uncommon commodity, so we don’t use the term ‘Common Sense’. The neighbor is not where you should get information regarding landscape plants. If you are advised specific patterns by nurserymen, you should follow them. The neighbor from New Jersey probably isn’t the source to go by!

NEWLY PLANTED CACTUS WATERING

If you’ve just planted your cactus the watering schedule for the summers and winters will be a little different than those that are already well established. Keep in mind that newly planted cactus are more sensitive to higher and lower temperatures.

FIRST SUMMER

Except for Saguaros, both non-native and native cacti should have a deep soaking done at two-week intervals when temperatures are ABOVE 90°. When heat is extreme, Agaves might require watering weekly, but this tends to be too frequent. When in pots, cacti should be in full sun and need to be checked for moisture frequently because roots will be exposed to extreme heat daily. To check for moisture, simply push a wooden paint stick or unfinished dowel in the soil to the bottom. Leave it in for 15 to 20 minutes, then check it for moisture. The reason for it to be unfinished, is to allow it to soak up moisture. This will teach you the pattern needed for watering your cacti.

FIRST WINTER

Except for Saguaros, when temperatures drop UNDER 90°° during the day, non-native and native cacti should both receive a monthly deep soak. However, this should only be done if rainfall is under 1-inch per month. If your area is receiving over 1-inch of rain per month, do not water the cacti.

SECOND SUMMER

Except for Saguaros, when temperatures are ABOVE 90° during the day, native cacti need a monthly deep soak. However, non-native cacti need two deep soaks per month.

SECOND WINTER

Except for Saguaros, you should never water native cacti, even with rainfall absence during the winter. However, a non-native cactus should receive a monthly deep soak.

THIRD SUMMER AND THERE AFTER

With the exception of Saguaros, a native cactus should not require additional watering and should be naturalized at this point. Non-native cacti at this point, should be naturalized and not require watering. However, during periods of extreme heat and not rainfall, a monthly deep soak is suggested.

It’s possible to help your trees look better and live longer with the right trimming and minimize storm damage with trimming. This guide will show you when to trim your palm trees, maple trees, evergreen trees, and fruit trees.

BEST TIME TO TRIM TREES BY SPECIES

A lot of native Arizonans and people moving to the state are asking the question when is the “Best Time To Trim Trees In Arizona”. In central and southern Arizona’s desert climate the time that is best to trim various types of trees is different than other colder regions of the United States.

Citrus trees are frost sensitive and even though it is rare to get that cold in the desert it’s important to wait to trim them until the middle of February to avoid frost damage. Leaving extra on during the colder months helps insulate the tree and protect them. Starting around the 15th of February and until the end of March is a great time to prune citrus trees. Avoid trimming these trees past this point as the foliage will help protect the trunks from being scorched by our intense summer sun.

BEST TIME TO TRIM FRUIT TREES

Fruit trees like peaches, apples, pomegranates, nuts, nectarines, and apricots all can be trimmed starting in December up till about February.

This is a good strategy for these trees as owners will want to control the height of these fruit bearing tree branches. Keeping the branches lower through trimming makes harvesting all of these fruits easier.

Maple tree trimming should not be done during winter. These trees ooze or “bleed” sap. While this isn’t actually harmful to the tree it will leave a mess in your yard, especially if you have vehicles that park near or under the tree.

Oak tree trimming is best left for when the tree is dormant during the colder months of the year. This means that waiting until December is a great idea. Trimming can be done then and through about mid February when things start warming up again.

BEST TIME TO TRIM PALM TREES

The best time of year to trim palm trees is after mid June. This is the best time to remove seeds which are forming and any dead leaves or fronds. While removing the brown dead fronds keeps palms looking their best profession palm tree trimmers will leave as much green as possible for the appearance and health of the tree. Avoid inexperienced palm tree trimming as it can lead to the death of your palm.

BEST TIME TO TRIM MESQUITE TREES

Mesquite trees and eucalyptus which grow fast and have large branch systems should be trimmed back before the storms of the monsoon season. This means that May and June are prime time for having these trees trimmed back. This helps avoid damage to the trees during storms, or worse a branch falling on your property or home.

BEST TIME TO TRIM DESERT TREES

Deciduous trees such as ash, desert willow, and elm all should be trimmed starting in December and goes through February. This includes Arizona favorite desert trees such as the Palo Verde and other popular options. These trees need to be dormant to cause minimal stress from pruning.

Are Palm Trees Native To Arizona?

ARE PALM TREES NATIVE TO ARIZONA?

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Palm trees are not generally native to Arizona; except for one small region known as Palm Canyon in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Many Phoenix residents wonder: “Are palm trees native to Arizona?” Despite thousands of palms around the valley the majority of palm trees you see are not native to Arizona. Most palm trees are native to tropical climates like Southern California, Florida, South Carolina and other countries such as Peru, Chile, Australia, Mexico, India, China, and more.

WHERE PALM TREES COME FROM

With as many are scattered everywhere in Arizona, especially in the south, it has hard to believe that they are not a native plant. Loads of Arizona landmarks incorporate them and they are nearly as venerated as our iconic cacti. There are a lot of Mexican fan palms, Date palms, and Queen palms all over the state lining landscapes, retail areas, and commercial properties. With as many as we have it is hard for a lot of Arizona residents and visitors that the majority of our palms are transplants from more tropical climates.

ARIZONA’S ONE NATIVE PALM TREE

Arizona does have one palm that grows naturally. This is the California fan palm, which is even thought to have been transplanted through the migration of animals dropping seeds here in Arizona. They grow wild between Yuma and Quartzite in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. The appropriately named “Palm Canyon” is the area the Californian fan palm grows wild in Arizona. If only one of the palm trees in Arizona is a native, where are all these palms coming from? It depends on which variety you are thinking about, own, or are considering buying.

QUEEN PALMS

The Queen palm is home to Argentina and Brazil that feature graceful fronds and grow to medium heights. They can be somewhat temperamental due to their country of origin as they are more sensitive than some to winter frosts and the intense summer heat.

ROYAL PALMS

Just like you would imagine being named “Royal” these palms feature an air of affluence and aristocracy. These trees are native to the Caribbean, tropical Mexico, and parts of southern Florida. These trees feature a rich appearance with deep green skin at their peak and smooth features.

MEXICAN FAN PALMS

Mexican fan palms are one of the more common palms you find in Arizona. As you would imagine these palms hail from Mexico and the seed pods are carried from northern Mexico to our state. These are the palms that grow to incredible heights and require daredevil gardeners and qualified palm tree trimming professionals climbing to trim.

MEDITERRANEAN PALMS

As the name suggests the popular Mediterranean palm comes from the southern coast of Europe. Common in Italy, France, and Spain this palm has a unique and iconic look that makes it a favorite for many Arizona landscapers. They love full sun and heat so they are perfect for the Phoenix Valley and southern Arizona.

DATE PALM TREES

The Date Palm is native to a wide geographical region which includes California, India, Pakistan, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Canary Islands. It’s dates have been harvested and beloved back to the Egyptian empires and further. Used for everything from a food staple to making fuel, rope, and finishing timber the date palm has been widely used for centuries.

ARIZONA LOVE PALM TREES

Arizona residents love landscaping with the palm because it is an icon of oasis in the desert. Water and shade are scares here and having these shaded areas created by groves of palm trees evokes thoughts of fun, vacation, and leisure. Shade cast by palm trees, or any tree, is a welcomed relief from the sun and heat of our desert environment.

LANDSCAPING ARCHITECTURAL ANCHORS

Palms don’t just give the promise of some shade but can be a strong element in the design of residential or commercial landscaping projects. Called “architectural plants”, palm trees can be a major element of visually stunning landscape design. They are frequently used in large commercial retail real estate projects, city parks, golf courses and more to provide great visual excitement.

Growing Lemon Trees in Arizona

GROWING LEMON TREES IN ARIZONA

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Arizona is a wonderful place to grow citrus plants, which is why so many home owners and commercial growers are producing such high quality citrus fruits. You really can grow some of the best citrus in the world in Arizona’s warm and dry climate. Oranges, Blood Oranges, Tangelos, Grapefruits, Tangerine, Lemons, Limes, Kumquats, Pumelos, and mandarins are just some of the citrus varieties that can thrive in Arizona. While there is a large array of available citrus to grow, we are going to focus on lemons and how to grow them effectively.

WE WILL OUTLINE TIPS AND INFORMATION ABOUT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF GROWING STRONG, HEALTHY AND FRUITFUL LEMON TREES.

GROWING LEMON TREES OUTDOORS

The first and most important decision when it comes to planting your lemon trees is the location you want to plant them and the available sun exposure. Being that lemons are more sensitive to cold temperatures, which is why giving them full sun exposure is ideal and necessary for lemon trees to grow adequately. You will find the best sun exposure spots on the south side of your home most times, depending on any coverage from large trees that may be present. While not a big problem in Arizona, frost can be devastating to lemon trees and a good way to mitigate any risk is to plant the lemon trees close to your house.

WATERING YOUR TREES

Making sure that the tree is moist when you are planting it is extremely important, but after planting you should ideally water your plant in a slow and deep fashion one time a week during the summer months and two times a week the rest of the year. The reasoning for this is citrus trees and plants that are established in the soil do well when the soil is slightly dry between watering sessions.

GENERAL CARE AND PROTECTING AGAINST FROST

If you know there is a chance for frost to develop, you should cover you young lemon trees. Burlap and frost cloth are great for protecting your lemon trees. Never use plastic to protect you citrus from frost as it is vastly inadequate, so if you don’t have burlap or frost cloth a sheet or blanket will protect your citrus well. Once temperature rise above freezing again, uncover your plants and allow them to soak up sunlight until the temperature drops again. A good way to help cold sensitive citrus such as lemons and limes is to grow them in pots on your patio. They can still flourish and produce fruit when potted. This method is effective because you can bring you pots under the patio cover or even indoors when it starts freezing outside.

FERTILIZATION METHODS

The best method of fertilization for lemon trees is to fertilize three times annually, ideally in February, May and September. Slow release, organic fertilizers are the best way to go.

SOIL FOR LEMON TREES

Lemon trees adapt extremely well to desert soil to the extent that they can thrive in soil dug up from your yard, so long as the soil isn’t too rocky. A good way to keep the roots of your tree moist is to lay down a layer of mulch that is several inches thick that runs out to the drip line used for watering. If you do have rocky soil you can mix mulch at a ratio of 70%/30% which will greatly enhance your lemon trees ability to soak up nutrients and thrive.

While these citrus plants can readily adapt to almost any kind of soil, lemon trees prefer soil that is slightly acidic and well drained. This preference for well drained soil lends itself to planting lemon trees slightly above ground level. This can be done by digging a shallow hole that won’t engulf the entire root ball on the bottom of the tree. Replacing the soil and adding mulch will create a near ideal environment for your lemon tree to flourish.

SUN EXPOSURE AND HEAT

Citrus plants require a lot of sunlight in order to produce fruit and high temperatures are the key to your plants producing sweet fruits. This is especially true for lemon trees. If you prune your trees in order to expose the trunk, you should consider wrapping the trunk or painting it white in order to prevent it from suffering from sun burn. If you are going to go the paint route, use tree paint or dilute household paint with 50% water. Speaking of sun damage, seeing some leaf scorch toward the end of long and/or hot summers is perfectly normal and should not be seen as a red flag. This scorching will be more apparent on younger lemon trees, which can be avoided by shading your younger trees during the hottest months. This is a helpful measure, but is by no means necessary.

GROWING LEMON TREES INDOORS

As mentioned earlier, lemon trees can thrive when they have been potted. This lends them to being great plants to grow indoors. The same principles that apply outdoors apply to indoor lemon trees when it comes to having your plant in an environment that can be well drained and has room for adequate growth of the tree along with having a slight acidity in the soil. Indoor lemon trees usually max out at a height of about 5 feet.

You need to make sure your indoor lemon trees receive plenty of sunlight as they need a full day’s worth in order to grow to their full potential and to produce quality fruit. You can place your trees outdoors during the warmer times of the year; bringing them back in overnight or once the weather starts to shift back to colder temperatures. Doing this will help them produce fruit as they will get into a more natural rhythm with day and night cycles. Placing them outdoors will also allow your lemon trees to be pollinated by bees.

BEST LEMON TREE TO GROW IN ARIZONA

The lemon tree species that adapts the best to the AZ climate is the Eureka Lemon Tree. These trees produce lemons with great acidity that possess very few seeds. The lemons also hold onto the tree very well, which means they won’t be falling off your tree and littering your floor.

LISBON LEMON TREES – Lisbon Lemon trees also produce great lemons and acclimate well to Arizona’s desert climate. They grow well during the desert winters.
MEYER LEMON TREES – Meyer Lemon trees are a dwarf variety the looks like shrubbery due the green foliage they produce. The sugar level of the lemons makes them a favorite of chefs.
PINK LEMONS – Pink Lemons also grow well in the AZ desert climate and add an aesthetic twist with their white and light green foliage.
