Healthy trees don’t just happen — the right fertilizer can make all the difference! From boosting growth to enhancing foliage and root strength, here’s how to nourish your trees the smart and simple way:
Know Your Roots
- Tree roots spread far beyond the trunk — focus on the area under the canopy and just past the drip line.
Test Your Soil
- A quick soil test helps identify nutrient gaps and ensures you’re giving your trees exactly what they need.
Watch for Warning Signs
- Yellowing leaves, slow growth, or sparse foliage? These may be signs your tree is hungry for nutrients.
Pick the Right Fertilizer
- Use a slow-release, granular formula with a balanced N-P-K (like 10-10-10) to feed your tree over time.
Apply It Wisely
- Use the broadcast method or dig shallow fertilizer wells around the drip line — not near the trunk!
Water Thoroughly
- After fertilizing, water deeply to help nutrients soak in — but avoid pooling near the base to prevent rot.
- Feed your trees with care, and they’ll reward you with strength, beauty, and years of shade and serenity.
