tree care

Tending woody plants

Tree care is the maintenance and cultivation of trees to promote their health, appearance, and safety.

It encompasses pruning, disease treatment, fertilization, and removal of dead or hazardous branches.

Professional tree care may involve arborists who assess structural integrity and diagnose problems: The old oak needed expert tree care after the storm.
