The Many Great Benefits of Tree Fertilizer
What is a Deep Root Feeding?
Giroud’s specially formulated fertilization is injected directly into the ground around the base of your tree and filters down through the soil to reach the tree’s roots. This Deep Root Feeding will:
-Replenish your tree’s vitamins and nutrients
-Strengthen the root system
-Stimulate healthy and vibrant new growth
Why Should You get a Deep Root Feeding for Your Tree?
Every tree benefits from a Deep Root Feeding! Check out Giroud’s Vice President and ISA Certified Arborist, Drew Slousky, in this video to see an amazing comparison of two Sycamore Trees. One has been fertilized each year and the other has not. Drew shows the stark differences between the fertilized tree that is healthy and in full leaf and another tree down the street that is clearly in poor health. Fertilizer works! Like a vitamin for humans, trees need to be fertilized annually to maintain good health and fight off disease and insects.
Why Tree Fertilizer is More Important to Some Trees
There are also special cases where Deep Root Feedings are not just encouraged, but vital to a tree’s vitality. Here are a few added reasons why your tree may need a fertilizer treatment:
-A year of heavy rain can wash vital nutrients from the soil and make trees with weak root systems more likely to uproot
-Your tree’s leaves are turning color too early in the fall
-Your tree has a limited root system because of barriers such as sidewalks, driveways and houses
-Your tree has been cabled, bolted or staked
-Your tree has suffered some sort of stress, such as storm damage, insect infestation, or disease
-Your tree is a valuable part of your landscape, and you want to ensure it continues to grow vibrant, healthy and strong!
