Do you bag your mowed grass, pull the weeds in your yard, or rake and bag the fallen leaves in your yard? If you answered yes, then you should consult an educated arborist about starting a Tree Fertilization / Plant Health Care Program. There is a huge difference between trees growing in a natural forest and trees growing in an urban environment. Forest trees get their nutrients naturally from all the decomposition occurring around them. Trees in an urban environment are deprived of natural decomposition, and they tend to struggle getting the nutrients they need to be truly healthy!

Of course we all want our trees to look beautiful and grow the way nature intended them to grow, but with out proper maintenance this is not possible in the urban tree world. You pick the proper tree for your area and then you expect it to flourish like it would in nature. Well like I said above, this isn’t possible with out the proper nutrients your tree desires to grow into its best self! These nutrients are possible with the proper fertilization done by an educated arborist or plant health care professional. Trees growing in parking lots along side walks near construction zones or sites, and in front yards have more stress placed on them. Each site has different watering, pruning, mulching and fertilization requirements. Therefore, it is critical to the long term survival of these urban trees that a proper Tree Fertilization/Plant Health Care Program be established.
