Fertilization supplies essential nutrients that help trees and shrubs grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient. By replenishing the soil with key nutrients, regular fertilization improves growth, appearance, and resistance to pests, disease, and environmental stress.
Benefits of fertilization include:
Stronger root systems and improved stability
Healthier growth and fuller foliage
Reduced nutrient deficiencies and stress
Signs your trees may need fertilization:
Yellowing or undersized leaves
Sparse foliage or slow growth
Dead or declining branches
For best results, fertilization is typically applied in spring and fall when trees can absorb nutrients most effectively. Working with a certified arborist ensures the correct fertilizer and application rate are used for each species, promoting long-term tree health and safety.
