Use care when working near trees Trees make up a valuable portion of the community land- s£ape, whether they are growing in the backyard, along streets, or in parks. Unfortunately, trees are often abused and damaged through various acts of carelessness or neglect, causing crippled'growth or even The\ [EXTENSION) People < AMmi death of the tree.

Lawn mowers are perhaps the biggest enemy of trees growning in landscape situations.

It may. only seem like an occasional bump or scrape here and there, but over the course of time it becomes a large amount of damage. The trees' "lifeline" network system to send water and nutrients up the tree and food down for root storage is located right under the bark. a Even partial damage to this system will cause problems for the tree. Severe damage will kill the tree. Another practice frequently detrimental to trees is changing the soil surface over the roots in some way, Most of the roots which take in oxygen and nutrients are close to the soil surface. Adding additional soil fill or paving over the existing soil level around established trees will always hurt the tree in some degree, but how much depends on the species and type of change made. Damage (or death) to the tree will show up in a delayed" reaction, thus it often isn't noticed until a few years after the change was made, when it is too late to do anything about it. Furthermore, trees often are injured during construction even if the existing soil level isn't changed. Digging near trees often breaks lots of roots. Soil compaction from heavy equipment being used near trees can permanently damage growing conditions for roots. Also, large portions of tree FIRST INSTITUTE OF TRAVEL!

Sale 5.62 We regret any inconvenience this might have caused you. JCPenney trunks and branches are often damaged by equipment. Gradual decline of tree health is characteristic of all these types of damage. Typically, the crown and-or scattered bran­ ches begin t& die back and the tree becomes thin-looking. Depending on the extent of the damage, the tree will either continue to decline and even­ tually die or it will keep a crippled appearance for several years. In either case, little can be done to correct the damage, although fertilizing and preventing further damage may help increase tree health to some extent. Additionally, in­ jured trees are much more susceptible to insects and dieases. The key thing in protecting trees from these types of injury is awareness. Anyone mowing turf around trees should be conscious of avoiding contact and injury to bark areas. Consider tree root systems when planning pavement or changes in soil grade near trees. Finally, fence off the entire root system around trees before doing any large construction around trees, both to prevent damage to the tree . and soil compaction. A little extra time and care for trees before damage occurs helps assure the health of the tree for years to come.
