Your tree is a living organism just like us, meaning they need water and nutrients to survive and grow. If you have put in time to plant a tree, then surely you want it to grow healthy, large, and for long. To achieve this goal, you will obviously have to water it, prune it, and feed it. In the wild, trees get their nutrients from its surrounding. In our yards, however, leaves and other sources of nutrients for the soil are often raked away before the tree can indulge in their nutrients. Thus, we need to fertilize our trees.
Sesmas Tree Service offers fertilization services, but we have also put together this article so that you can take care of fertilization on your own. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment with an ISA-certified arborist, then call Sesmas Tree Service to get started.

You can notice that a tree needs fertilizer if you see these signs:
If you notice these signs, then it is important that you act quick and get to the root of the issue before it becomes a serious problem.
Get A Soil Test
The best way to figure out what nutrients your tree is lacking is by running a soil test. A soil test measures the pH level of your soil and identifies the nutrient deficiencies in your soil. Once you have figured out the needs of your soil, investigate what nutrients your tree needs. Finally, go ahead and purchase a fertilizer that fits its needs.
When to Fertilize Your Tree
There are plenty of fertilizer types on the market, including slow-release fertilizers. These slow-release fertilizers do not have a best time to fertilize because they slowly release fertilizers uniformly over time. Still, there are benefits to fertilizing in certain seasons:
