Fertilizing Tree & Shrubs

Trees and shrubs growing in their natural environment rarely display symptoms of nutrient deficiency. Tree and landscape plantings are for the most part in an artificial environment where soils are very different from their native habitat. Removal of leaves from the root zone of trees and shrubs growing in the lawn and planting beds prevent the natural recycling of organic matter. For these reasons applications of fertilizer are needed to replenish essential mineral elements promoting healthy growth and resistance to insect and disease infestations.
