Why Your Trees Need an Extra Boost
In urban areas, trees often struggle with nutrient-depleted soils due to factors such as:
Organic Matter Depletion: Constant mowing, raking up leaves in the fall, and other landscaping practices can reduce organic matter content, hindering nutrient availability.
Salt and Chemical Accumulation: Road de-icing salts and other chemicals can damage tree roots and disrupt nutrient uptake.
Urban Soil Disturbance: Construction, utility work, and other human activities can disrupt the soil and impact tree health.
Ongoing Nutrient Depletion: Over time, trees can use up the nutrients in the soil around them, leading to less nutrients as the tree gets older.
Nutrient deficiencies can significantly impact tree health and vitality, leading to weakened trees that are more susceptible to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors.

FAQs
The frequency of tree fertilization can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Tree Species: Different tree species have varying nutrient requirements.
- Soil Conditions: The health and fertility of your soil will influence fertilization needs.
- Tree Age and Size: Younger, growing trees typically require more frequent fertilization than mature trees.
- Environmental Factors: Stressors like drought, pests, or diseases can increase a tree's nutrient demands.
As a general guideline, most trees benefit from fertilization once or twice a year.
You may notice visible improvements in your trees within a few weeks of fertilization. However, the full benefits of fertilization often take several months to become apparent. Signs of healthy growth may include:
- Increased leaf size and color
- Thicker, stronger branches
- Improved disease and pest resistance
- Faster recovery from stress
Fertilization treatments are generally safe for pets and children when applied correctly. To minimize risks, it's important to keep pets and children away from fertilized areas until the fertilizer has dried completely. If you have concerns about pet safety, consider organic fertilizers.
While there are several methods for fertilizing trees, deep root fertilization is considered the most effective. This technique involves injecting liquid fertilizer directly into the tree’s root system. By bypassing the upper soil layers, deep root fertilization minimizes nutrient loss and maximizes absorption, resulting in healthier, more vigorous trees.
