Deep Root Fertilization

What is Tree Fertilizing?

Every tree needs food to grow and be healthy just like any other living thing. Trees take nutrients and minerals from the soil. Deep Root Fertilizing, also called Root Feeding, is injecting carefully selected minerals and nutrients into the soil around your trees so that they can be easily absorbed by the roots of your tree.

Does My Tree Need Fertilizer?

Trees growing in their natural habitat should have access to all of the minerals they need to survive and grow. Anything you can do to mimic that habitat can reduce the need for fertilizer. This may include letting leaves remain on the ground in the fall instead of raking them up, and leaving branches for natural decomposition. Chances are that especially in city conditions, the need for fertilizer will not be entirely eliminated.
