In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the impact of excess moisture on trees, the weight of water-saturated limbs, and essential summer tree care tips to ensure your trees thrive and withstand the challenges of the season.
https://youtu.be/IkSMrSkVafU
Long Branch's unique coastal climate plays a significant role in the well-being of its trees. The proximity to the ocean moderates temperatures, but it also means higher humidity levels and an increased potential for saltwater exposure during storms. While most trees can adapt well to these conditions, they can still face challenges, especially during the hot and humid summer months.
Long Branch often experiences periods of heavy rain during summer storms. While trees need water, excessive moisture can lead to waterlogged soil, which affects the health of their root systems. Sandy soil, typical of coastal areas, drains well, but during extended wet periods, it can retain more water than necessary. Waterlogged soil deprives tree roots of oxygen, leading to root suffocation and root rot. A weakened root system can compromise the tree's stability, making it vulnerable to uprooting during strong winds.
Summer storms bring much-needed rain, but the leaves of trees act like sponges, absorbing water. When rain is followed by high humidity, this water may linger on the leaves, increasing their weight significantly. The added weight can cause limbs and branches to bend, droop, or even snap off under pressure. Falling branches pose potential dangers to property, pedestrians, and vehicles below.
Vigilance is key to ensuring your trees remain healthy and safe during the summer. Look out for these signs of hidden tree distress:
To protect your trees from the potential dangers of summer weather, consider the following tree care tips tailored to Long Branch's coastal climate:

While most trees in Monmouth County, NJ, are adapted to the local climate, there are some tree species that may not perform as well during the hot and humid summer months. These trees might struggle with the high temperatures, excessive humidity, and potential waterlogged soil. Here's a detailed list of tree species found in Monmouth County, NJ, that may not thrive in the summer:
It's important to note that while these tree species may not be ideal for Monmouth County's summer conditions, they can still thrive with proper care and management. Regular watering, mulching, and appropriate pruning can help alleviate stress during the summer months. When selecting trees for planting, it's best to choose native or well-adapted species that can withstand the local climate and provide long-term benefits to the ecosystem. Consulting with a local arborist or horticulturist can also provide valuable guidance in choosing the right trees for your landscape.
As you enjoy the beauty and serenity of Long Branch, NJ, this summer, remember to care for the trees that adorn your landscape.

When summer arrives in Middletown, NJ, it brings with it the lush beauty of blooming trees and vibrant foliage. However, to ensure the health, aesthetics, and safety of your landscape, it's essential to pay attention to your trees' needs.

Summer presents an excellent opportunity for tree pruning and trimming. Pruning involves the selective removal of branches to improve the tree's structure, enhance its appearance, and promote healthier growth. Trimming, on the other hand, focuses on maintaining the tree's shape and size.

Pruning and trimming can also help prevent branches from interfering with utility lines, structures, or obstructing visibility on your property.
While preserving the natural beauty of trees is essential, there are situations where tree removal becomes necessary. Hufnagel Tree Service follows industry best practices when it comes to tree removal, ensuring safety and minimizing impact on the surrounding environment. Dead or dying trees, those suffering from severe diseases, or those causing structural damage pose significant risks and should be assessed by professionals. Additionally, if a tree is encroaching on structures, obstructing views, or interfering with new construction projects, removal might be the most suitable option. Hufnagel Tree Service has the expertise and equipment to safely remove trees while minimizing disruption to your property.

Winter in Middletown, NJ can be a magical time of year, with snow-covered trees and cozy firesides. However, it’s also important to be prepared for the winter weather that comes with the season.
Historically, Middletown experiences an average of 21 inches of snow per year, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in January and February. The coldest temperature on record for Middletown was -17 degrees Fahrenheit, which occurred in January of 1957. While these extreme temperatures are not common, it’s important to be prepared for the possibility of cold weather and to dress accordingly.
In addition to snow and cold temperatures, Middletown can also experience winter storms, which can bring high winds, ice, and freezing rain. These storms can cause power outages, slippery roads, and damage to trees and buildings. It’s important to have an emergency kit on hand in case of a winter storm, and to stay informed about weather conditions and any warnings or advisories issued by the National Weather Service.
While winter in Middletown can bring some challenges, it’s also a season of beauty and enjoyment. Whether you’re hitting the slopes at a nearby ski resort, building a snowman with the kids, or just enjoying the peacefulness of a snowy landscape, there’s no shortage of ways to have fun during the winter months.
Winter is a crucial time for tree care, and at Hufnagel Tree Service in Middletown, NJ, we understand the importance of properly caring for your trees during this season.
First and foremost, it’s important to understand that trees go through a period of dormancy during the winter months. This means that their growth slows down and they become less active. However, just because trees are dormant doesn’t mean they’re not vulnerable to harm.
One of the biggest threats to trees during the winter is damage from winter storms. High winds, heavy snow, and ice can all cause branches to break or entire trees to topple.
To protect your trees from winter storms, it’s important to have them regularly inspected by a certified arborist. An arborist can identify any potential weak points or structural issues that could make a tree more susceptible to storm damage.
Another important aspect of winter tree care is proper watering. While it may seem counterintuitive, trees still need water during the winter months, especially during dry spells. Dry soil can cause a tree’s root system to become dehydrated, which can lead to a decline in the tree’s overall health. To ensure your trees are getting enough water, it’s important to check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed.
It’s important to protect your trees from winter sunscald. Sunscald occurs when the sun warms the bark of a tree on a sunny winter day, causing the tree to start growing. When the temperature drops at night, the cells in the bark freeze, causing damage to the tree. To prevent sunscald, it’s important to wrap the trunk of young or thin-barked trees with a tree wrap or white paint.
Here are the best reasons to service your trees this winter:
Dormant trees are easier to work on: During the winter, trees are dormant, which means their growth has slowed down and they are less active. This makes it easier for arborists to inspect and work on trees without causing as much stress to the tree.
Improved tree health: Winter tree care can help improve the overall health of your trees. For example, pruning during the winter can remove dead or damaged branches, which can help prevent pests and diseases from spreading. Some insects, such as the elm bark beetle, are more active during the winter and can cause significant damage to trees. To prevent pest damage, it’s important to have your trees treated during the winter season.
Increased safety: Winter tree care can help make your property safer by identifying and removing any potentially hazardous branches or trees. This can help prevent damage to your property or injuries to people during winter storms.
Better accessibility: Winter is often a slower season for tree care professionals, which means they may have more availability to work on your trees. This can make it easier to schedule tree care services during the winter months.
Cost savings: Servicing your trees in the winter can often be more cost-effective than during the busy spring or summer seasons, when tree care professionals may have more demand for their services.
Overall, winter tree care can help improve the health and safety of your trees, as well as save you time and money in the long run.
