Clearing small trees and underbrush can improve the growth of your mature trees by 50% or
more. Understory growth of trees, shrubs, and other low growing foliage take nutrients away from
mature trees making them fight for resources. Soil nutrients, water, and sunlight are vital building locks
to trees, and they compete for the available sources that supply life. Clearing overgrown understory
plants is a good way to ensure the health and longevity of your mature trees for years to come.
When clearing the understory and reducing competition for nutrients, allow the removed
vegetation to be a natural mulch. The shredded and chipped vegetation becomes a blanket of nutrients.
This insulates the tree’s roots and slowly breaks down to feed the tree and enrich the soil. With winter
on its way this is a nice blanket for the tree to keep it safe through harsh freezing temperatures. The
nutrients are absorbed as the tree needs them, unlike a chemical fertilizer (which you do not want to
use in fall or winter). Natural mulch only adds nutrients and health to the soil without adding chemicals
or unnatural additives.
Healthy trees resist disease and pest with their natural defense system. Think of your own
health and how it is affected by the foods you consume. Plants are also affected by the nutrients
available to consume. With more available nutrients plants are able to maintain a healthy self-defense
system. When trees compete for nutrients, they can become spindly or scraggly and can become
targets for pests and diseases. Cleaning the understory of excess vegetation will make more nutrients
available for the trees you want to enjoy.
A healthy tree is an attractive tree. Clearing unwanted overgrowth and reducing competition
for nutrients in the soil allows the trees to grow strong while resisting disease. Creating natural
insulation and creating a healthy soil is the best maintenance for a healthy and natural habitat. A
disease-free wooded area will continue to grow and maintain its beauty for years to come.
