Tree fertilization is an essential component in maintaining the health of urban trees, providing nutrients for growth, and minimizing stresses

The best time to fertilize your trees is in spring or fall.  Spring is the prime growth period for trees during the year.  In the fall trees will absorb the nutrients before the dormant.

Trees play a crucial role in our cities, enhancing the beauty of our surroundings and adding value to our homes. To keep them healthy and strong, consider an annual tree fertilization program. Tree fertilizer provides essential nutrients for growth and overall well-being. Healthy trees are better equipped to handle stress, diseases, and pests.

In natural forests, trees thrive in harmony with their environment. Leaves and twigs decompose on the forest floor, recycling nutrients for growth. However, urban trees face unique challenges due to their surroundings

1. Essential Nutrients for Trees:

• Trees need three essential macronutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
• Nitrogen comes in two forms: water-soluble (quick-release) and non-water-soluble (slow-release).
• Water-soluble nitrogen, commonly found in lawn fertilizers, can lead to stormwater runoff.
• Nitrogen-rich soil encourages fine root growth, helping trees absorb water and nutrients.

2.Effective Fertilization Techniques:

• Soil injection with a root feeder probe places fertilizer below turf grass roots, benefiting trees.
• This method also aerates the soil, reducing compaction.
• Fertilization can speed up recovery and wound closure in pruned trees.
• Annual fertilization promotes faster growth and establishment in young trees
