Best Fertilizers For Evergreen Trees

When should you start considering fertilizing your Evergreen trees?

Evergreens’ growth can be easily maintained by having access to sunshine and water, but for healthy growth, a plant has to receive 17 different nutrients, usually present in fertilizers. The timing and early signs are also important for the overall process, so you might need to keep an eye on when you should consider fertilizing your Evergreens. The key signs you should closely monitor are as follows:

• If your evergreen trees don’t grow as quickly as they should, fertilizers are a great option to boost their growth.
• If they lack long needles or their signature green color, it usually means they’re short on nutrients and that their condition necessitates the right fertilizers.
• Sandy and clay soils fail to offer the ideal conditions for planting evergreen trees, which means adding fertilizers will allow them to grow well under these unfavorable conditions.
• Evergreens can suffer from damages caused by diseases and insects; in this case, fertilizers are needed to protect them from external attacks.
• If you’re just starting your planting journey and recently planted young trees, fertilizing them can actually help them to grow quickly!
