Tree Fertilization will improve your trees health
Did you know that fertilizing a tree helps to protect themselves from pests and disease? When trees are healthy, they can shield themselves better against infectious diseases. Healthy trees are able to withstand damage from the environment much better than a tree that is stressed and struggling to get enough nutrients.
Tree care providers understand the importance and necessity of fertilization throughout the lifespan of a healthy tree. Fertilizer provides the correct nutrients that a tree requires to reach its full mature potential.
We use a high quality slow release fertilizer. Our deep root fertilization system injects fertilizer and water 6 to 12 inches below the ground’s surface so that your tree roots receive the benefit, not the lawn, and are spaced to provide even coverage to the root zone. The fertilizer will not leach out of the soil, and provides beneficial nutrients to your trees or shrubs for 1 year.
Providing adequate fertilizer is one of the best regular maintenance programs that you can take on when growing a healthy tree.
When should you Fertilize Trees?
Tree fertilization should preferably be done during the growing season.
Other than that, it really depends on the age of the tree. Young saplings require only small applications of quick release fertilizer, due to the sensitivity of their roots and trunks. Developing trees can handle normal fertilizers, and should be fertilized two times a year. Mature trees have intricate root systems that are more widespread, which means that they are able to intake nutrients and water from a wider range of ground. They do not need as many added nutrients as young trees do, so fertilizing mature trees once a year is sufficient.
