Fertilizing trees is crucial to preserve their health. Providing nutrients through fertilization applications helps trees endure adverse weather, pests, and diseases while allowing them to grow to their full potential. Experts suggest a biannual fertilization approach—once in the spring and once during the autumn—to equip them with essential nutrients for both active growth and the hibernating cold.

Fertilization Techniques for Trees
There are two main fertilization techniques to consider, depending on the species of trees on your property and their current health. Our arborists will carry out a thorough evaluation to recommend the correct fertilization method and nutrient mix to suit each tree’s needs.
The following are the main tree fertilization methods:
- Direct Injection: Targeting the tree’s circulatory system, the direct injection technique administers nutrients straight into the tree. This method gives the tree direct access to the nutrients and avoids competition from surrounding plants. Typically, this is advised for trees in dire need of a significant nutrient boost.
- Soil Injection: This technique involves specialized equipment that infuse fertilizer into the soil around the tree’s roots, bypassing the dense upper soil layer. With this strategy, turf roots cannot outcompete tree roots for nutrients, thus maximizing the tree’s fertilizer intake.
