Why Deep Root Fertilize in the Fall?

To replenish important nutrients!

During the beautiful summer months while everyone is out enjoying the nice weather, we tend to forget about how hard our trees and shrubs are working to grow. Despite any environmental conditions they can face over the long summer days (drought, intense heat) plants spend all of their time trying to absorb key nutrients any way they can. It is also very important to keep in mind that trees and shrubs in your landscape are under and lot more stress compared to trees in the forest, where nutrients are readily available.

When tree and shrub fertilization is done correctly in the fall all the necessary nutrients will be restored. In a short time plants will go dormant for the winter, all the extra nutrients will be stored and will be ready for use next growing season!
