Why fertilize?
Trees and shrubs in your landscape actually exist in a foreign environment, lacking the nutrients found in the rich layer of humus occurring naturally on the forest floor. In your landscape - where there is limited natural fertilizer. Don't count on your lawn fertilizer to help. An insignificant amount - if any - will filter down to the tree roots. Tree roots must now reach out to obtain the nutrients they need. Obstacles such as compacted soil, rock ledges, buildings, pools, and paving often impede their ability to obtain nutrients.
When to fertilize?
Before the warning signs of nutrient deficiency are visible, the plants' health has been compromised. Bob's Tree Service arborists can diagnose the situation and recommend the optimum time to fertilize. Trees receiving regular applications of essential nutrients look better and live longer.
What fertilizer to use?
Bob's Tree Service uses a variety of fertilizers: Arbor Green®, Macron®, or Dogget®. The fertilizers have a combination of quick- and slow-release nitrogen applied directly into the root zone for maximum absorption. Excellent growth response is provided when fertilizers contain the proper ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The fertilizer should also contain micronutrients, such as iron and magnesium.
