Tree and Shrub Fertilization

Tree and shrub fertilization involves the application of nutrients to support the healthy growth and development of trees and shrubs. This practice is essential for maintaining strong root systems, vibrant foliage, and resistance to pests and diseases. Fertilization can be done using granular, liquid, or slow-release fertilizers, and is typically applied in early spring or late fall, depending on the specific needs of the plants. The nutrients provided by fertilization, particularly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are critical for the photosynthesis process, root development, and overall plant vigor. Regular fertilization of trees and shrubs ensures they receive the necessary nutrients to thrive, especially in urban or suburban environments where soil may be depleted or compacted.
