Save Instantly on Energy Costs
Large shade trees can help reduce home energy costs. These trees block the sun and wind and can keep your home cooler in the summer or warmer in the winter. This allows you to use less air conditioning and heating. A large-statured shade tree, when placed correctly, can reduce energy costs by 15%. You will need to wait until the shade tree matures, which can take between 10 to 30 years depending on the species. Buy Semi Mature Trees from Nature First
Mature trees add value to your home
Mature trees can add value to your house by improving the look of your garden. A mature tree will increase the value of your home by 15 to 20%. According to the National Arbor Day Foundation 83% believe mature trees have more impact on home values than young trees. It is not advisable to purchase a young tree if you plan to sell your house within the next couple of years. A tree takes 10 to 30 years to mature and add maximum value to a home.
Mature trees take in more carbon than young trees
Scientists believed that older trees absorbed less carbon, and homeowners were encouraged to plant younger trees in order to reduce their carbon footprint. A study published in 2014 showed that older trees take up more carbon per tree.
Mature trees don’t need as much pruning as young trees
Although mature trees need to be pruned on a regular basis, they don’t have to be trained the same as young trees. It is important to create a strong framework and leader for young trees. Pruning is a laborious process that should only be performed by professionals. This will ensure the tree remains strong, beautiful and healthy throughout its life. By purchasing a mature tree, you can avoid all the training and pruning that is required in the tree’s early years.
