Fertilizer Isn’t Just for Grass — Your Trees and Shrubs Want in, Too

Fertilization is usually not preferred for grass and garden plants. However, fertilizers provide vital nutrients that promote tree and shrub growth, making them sturdier and more resilient. That’s where Sesmas Tree Service comes in as your trusted company for tree & shrub fertilization services. As a seasoned tree care company, we understand that fertilizing large plants requires a combination of techniques. Our licensed arborists leverage extensive expertise and knowledge to tailor care plans for optimal growth and long-lasting impact. Here’s why fertilization is important for trees and shrubs to help you make informed decisions.

Nutrient Supply

As mentioned, fertilizers provide vital nutrients necessary for growth and development. Tree service professionals test the soil to identify deficient nutrients and recommend suitable fertilizers to restore balance. Whether it is deficient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or all these nutrients at once, arborists can help you choose the right fertilizer with the perfect blend of nutrients. If you prefer a hands-on approach, consult a trusted arborist to avoid stunted growth and premature tree removal.

Root Development

Weak roots may not raise concerns initially, but they can compromise structural integrity and cause safety hazards. If you notice sudden leaning, leaf yellowing, or other signs of root damage, then chances are your soil needs phosphorus. This is the nutrient that promotes strong root development, enhancing stability and nutrient absorption. Fertilization requires accuracy to maximize the benefits and protect the roots from scorching. That’s why it is advisable to hire a reputable arborist for peace of mind, knowing every aspect of the project is handled with precision to prevent root damage and tree removal emergencies in Atlanta, GA.

Disease Resistance 

Poorly maintained trees and shrubs are more susceptible to stress and diseases. Fortunately, proper fertilization, particularly potassium, can make your greenery more resilient. Nothing is more frustrating than ignoring minor signs of infection only to end up with multiple infected trees and shrubs. In such situations, certified arborists can assess the severity of the damage and determine if your trees can be salvaged. Severe infections may prompt more effective solutions, such as pruning or complete tree removal.

Improved Growth

Since fertilization provides plants with vital nutrients, the results are vigorous, better flowering, and fruitful trees and shrubs. Even if you invest in regular tree care and maintenance, a nutrient deficiency can throw all your efforts down the drain. The most effective way to maintain healthy growth is to schedule regular soil tests with a professional arborist, ensuring access to essential nutrients necessary for growth and longevity.

Fall Fertilization

According to industry professionals, fertilizing trees and shrubs in the fall offers more benefits than other times of the year. The soil is usually warm, but the air is cold due to the fast-approaching winter. Applying the right fertilizer goes a long way to help your trees and shrubs store nutrients for the cold months and prepare for spring growth. Additionally, fall fertilization maximizes growth and development, ensuring optimal health throughout the cold months.

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Avoiding Frost

Lastly, fertilizing the trees and shrubs in your property right before a frost can cause more damage than good. Trees and shrubs need time to absorb the nutrients, and frozen ground can impede this process. If you are unsure when to fertilize your greenery, reach out to a professional tree company for advice and a personalized care plan.
