Do trees need fertilizer?

August 19, 2020 by Victor Blackwell

Trees growing in their natural habitat should have access to all of the minerals they need to survive and grow. Anything you can do is mimic that habitat can reduce the need for fertilizer. This may include letting leaves remain on the ground in the fall instead of raking them up. Chances are, though, that despite your best efforts, the need for fertilizer will not be entirely eliminated.

When is the best time to fertilize trees and shrubs

August 19, 2020 by Victor Blackwell

A good time to fertilize trees in most Southern temperate climates is from fall to mid-spring. At these times the tree’s roots take the nutrients from the soil and apply them to important health-promoting functions such as root development and disease resistance, rather than simply putting out new growth.

During the growing season, fertilizing can help a tree overcome mineral deficiencies and fight off infections. If you are fertilizing in mid- to late summer, avoid formulations high in nitrogen as this will just promote weak, new growth that may be easily damaged in the winter.
