Plant (Tree) Health Care
Fertilization
Trees are an indispensable part of a landscape. Their establishment and maintenance concern homeowners, arborists, and municipal foresters. The proper care of trees involves the knowledge and use of many cultural practices such as pruning, mulching and watering, but should also include fertilizing.
Benefits of Fertilizing
Trees, like people, need their essential elements to lead a flourishing, healthy life. Fertilizing maintains health and increases vigor of trees.
Diseases and insects are less likely to attack stressed trees, fertilizing encourages vitality to relieve trees from stress.
Established trees that are weakened by foliar diseases, insects, mechanical injury, soil compaction, or drought often show poor growth or dieback. Fertilizing stimulates vegetative growth which helps the tree compensate for the conditions that caused the decline.
Do not wait until a problem occurs to fertilize your trees. Trees should be fertilized once a year to maintain the proper amount of nutrients needed to stay healthy. Remember, many problems may not occur when trees are kept fertilized, properly mulched, and watered during dry periods.
