When Should I Fertilize My Trees?
Trees, generally speaking are easy to maintain. Food, water, and shelter from harsh environments, basically the same things humans need to survive. But for your trees to live at their fullest capacity, extra nutrients and minerals that your soil might not provide are necessary.
How do I know if my tree needs to be fertilized?
First, always consult a certified arborist if you have any questions or concerns with your trees health. Arborists will come out to assess the overall health of your trees and formulate a plan to keep them happy and healthy.
However, there are a few indicators that the nutrients in the soil are lacking.
Abundance of dead branches
Dead twigs
Yellowing leaves
Leaf drop
Smaller than normal leaves
If you are noticing any of these issues on your trees, fertilization might just be the best treatment for them.
When should I fertilize my trees?
Timing of fertilization depends greatly on the type of formula. Certain formulas can be applied year round, such as the formulas used by the Arborist’s at North American Tree Service. However, most tree fertilization should be applied during spring or fall for the best results.
There are different benefits to applying in each of these seasons, that your certified Arborist in Grayson can help you decide on.
