Enhancing Tree Health and Longevity
Often, tree health is neglected until obvious signs of decline appear. Trees are living organisms with specific requirements for survival and growth. One of the most cost-effective actions you can take for your trees is mulching, as it offers numerous benefits. However, there are many other steps that can be taken to maintain tree health, and for trees in decline, there are ways to restore their health. In a forest, trees naturally drop leaves every year. These leaves break down and turn into organic matter, which not only reduces soil compaction but also provides vital nutrients to the tree. In many urban landscapes, however, the leaves are raked up and removed, depriving the trees of these benefits. Supplemental fertilization can improve tree health by enhancing growth, disease resistance, and nutrient uptake. Most trees aren’t killed by a single issue. More often, trees in poor health become vulnerable to secondary diseases and pests.
