Roots Are the Foundation of Trees

Roots are vital for the growth and development of trees. Since they are located beneath the ground, roots acquire water and nutrients needed to help a tree thrive. They also store food used to produce sufficient foliage and provide structural support for the tree. Tree roots can grow up to seven feet or more, but the soil conditions and available space determine their growth and strength. If you suspect your trees don’t have adequate spacing or lack sufficient nutrients, hiring a professional tree service can help you improve the conditions for your tree and maximize growth.

Tree Trunks Are Vital for Nutrient Delivery

Tree trunks usually start at the root collar and support vital functions that support growth and good health. The primary purpose of a tree trunk is to extend the tree upwards, exposing as much foliage to the sun as possible, which is used to make food. A tree trunk functions like a highway system, responsible for delivering water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. After the foliage uses the sun to manufacture food, the trunk transports sugar from the leaves to the roots. The trunk also supports extensions like tree branches and limbs, vital for a healthy tree. A tree service company can help you maintain a strong, healthy tree by conducting routine maintenance to prevent potential infestation or disease.

The Tree Crown Supports Photosynthesis & Air Filtering

Most of the crucial tree functions that benefit humans occur at the crown. The tree crown has leaves for photosynthesis, one of the essential processes on earth. Photosynthesis involves converting sun energy into food for the tree, which is vital for growth. During photosynthesis, trees also filter out carbon dioxide from the air, releasing oxygen which supports all life.

Evita Fikes

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Josh Pitchford

Many crowns put together are referred to as a canopy, and the circumference of the canopy is called the drip line. Familiarizing with these terms is vital in ensuring you provide the required care, preventing further degradation or damage. If you lack the experience or knowledge to maintain healthy trees, a tree care company in Snellville can help. Contact us today at Sesmas Tree Service, and schedule an appointment with the tree experts. We guarantee quality tree service at a competitive market rate.
