Although trees and shrubs go dormant for the winter season, taking care of the soil is still important, and if done properly can be highly beneficial for plant growth in the spring. Soil is the building block to a healthy landscape and fertilizing is one method of supporting the soil. When fertilizing in the fall, it’s important to select a fertilizer that promotes strong root growth and doesn’t stimulate new growth late in the growing season. Kramer Tree Specialists offers an organic fertilizer blend that is injected directly in the soil beneath the canopy of the treated trees. This fertilizer contains beneficial fungi and other nutrients that promote strong root growth for nutrient uptake and storage.
The benefits to fertilization are numerous. For instance, without proper nutrients, trees and shrubs become stressed. Stressed plants are more susceptible to disease and insect infestations and do not grow as vigorously as trees and shrubs that have received vital nutrients. The urban landscape, in particular, is challenging for trees. Soil structure may not be adequate for healthy plant growth. Fertilizing helps compensate for lacking nutrients in the soil.
