It is very important for trees to be properly fertilized to get the nutrients they need to stay healthy. Regular fertilization helps trees grow to their full potential, giving them strength to fight disease, harsh conditions, and severe weather. To be cared for properly, trees should be fertilized twice per year, once during spring as well as during fall. Spring fertilization gives trees nutrients for the upcoming growing season while fall fertilization prepares the trees to handle winter conditions.

Tree Fertilization Methods
There are two types of fertilization methods that are effective for trees, direct injection and soil injection. Figuring out which type is best for each situation should be done by professionals. This is what each of the fertilization methods entails:
- Direct Injection: This method entails injecting fertilizer into the vascular system of the tree so that you can make sure it receives all the needed nutrients. It also helps eliminate competition for the nutrients from nearby plants and grass. Direct injection is usually recommended for trees that are nutrient deficient.
- Soil Injection: For this method, a special tool is used to apply the fertilizer below the soil and right into the tree’s root system. We can break through the compacted soil and put the fertilizer out of the grass root’s reach. Once we do a proper assessment of your trees, we will recommend the right mixture of macro and micronutrients for specific trees.
