Tree Deep Root
Fertilization in Toronto
Boost the health of your trees and shrubs with root fertilization.
Root fertilization is important to ensure that your trees and shrubs are getting the nutrients they need to encourage healthy growth and to fight off disease and pests. Fertilization is especially important for landscaped trees in urban areas, where soil nutrient depletion is extremely common. With deep root fertilization you can restore the nutrient balance in the soil and enjoy more beautiful, healthy, and vibrant trees.
What is Deep Root Fertilization?
Deep Root Fertilizing works by injecting a balanced mixture of minerals and nutrients directly into the soil around the root systems of your trees to promote this absorption. For most trees, this means applying the fertilizer directly below the surface of the soil. However, bigger trees require a slightly more complex approach. The most common way of injecting these fertilizers is with the use of a special “soil needle”. The liquid fertilizer solution is pumped through that needle deep into the soil.
Why Do Trees Need to Be Fertilized?
Trees rely on their root systems to obtain nutrients and minerals from the soil. If there are soil deficiencies, it is challenging for trees to get the sustenance they require for healthy growth.
As organic material is broken down over time with the help of micro-organisms, essential nutrients and minerals are added back into the soil for plant roots to absorb. In many metropolitan areas, the essential organic matter needed to feed the trees – things like leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste – are cleaned up and taken away…which means essential nutrients are also being taken away. With the help of deep root fertilization, those vital nutrients and minerals are supplemented to support tree growth.
Best Time to Fertilize Trees
For most applications, deep root fertilization is best performed in early fall or early spring.
Early fall is the most common time for Deep Root Fertilization services to be performed in Toronto and other parts of Southern Ontario. This allows an adequate amount of time for the roots to absorb the newly added nutrients before the freezing temperatures arrive and avoids the stress placed on trees by extreme summer conditions.
By adding fertilizer in early spring, your trees can take full advantage of the additional nutrients for new growth. This new growth also needs time to harden off before the harsh temperatures of winter arrive in Toronto.
Advantages of Deep Root Fertilization
There are many advantages of deep root fertilization, from saving sick and malnourished trees to increasing fruit production. Deep Root Fertilization is a fast, effective way to address many tree issues.
More Beautiful Foilage
Fertilizer encourages healthy growth, which includes beautiful, full, and vibrant foliage.
Fast & Efficient
Unlike surface fertilizer applications, Deep Root Fertilization delivers nutrients and minerals directly to the soil surrounding the roots. This means faster and easier nutrient uptake.
Pest & Disease Management
A healthy tree is a strong tree. With proper nutrition, trees have a far better chance of fighting off pests and diseases.
Correct Soil Deficiencies
Urban areas often suffer from soil deficiencies, such as soil compaction, alkalinity, and lack of nutrients. Deep Root Fertilization restores the balance in the soil to promote new, healthy growth for your trees and shrubs.
Establish Strong Root System
Root feeding helps newly planted and young trees establish strong root systems in new, possibly nutrient-deficient soil.
