Professional Tree Fertilization

Trees, like other living things, need the right mix of macronutrients to stay healthy.

Specifically, trees need the following macronutrients:

• Nitrogen (N).
• Phosphorus (P).
• Potassium (K).
• Calcium (Ca).
• Magnesium (Mg).
• Sulfur (S).

They also need the following micronutrients:

• Iron (Fe).
• Manganese (Mn).
• Zinc (Zn).
• Copper (Cu).
• Boron (B).
• Chlorine (Cl).
• Molybdenum (Mo).

By having an expert evaluate the soil composition before applying fertilization, it ensures that trees get the right amount of each nutrient. A deficiency in iron, for instance, causes a condition called iron chlorosis in which leaves yellow between veins.

Deep Root Fertilization

There are various methods to provide deep root fertilization. For instance, an expensive spray rig can nourish roots with the Liquid Injection Method. However, this depends on the availability of water. If compaction is an issue, the Drill Hole Method should be used. There is also a specialized hybrid method called Soilbuilding (the trademark name) to fertilize deep roots.
