Deep Root Fertilization Spring Or Fall

Why Fall or early spring for Deep Root Fertilization?

As long as the ground isn’t frozen, there’s still time to use fertilizer injections to root feed your trees and shrubs. Because tree and shrub roots will continue to grow throughout even the harshest of winters, those roots will be able to remain healthy from the use of beneficial fertilizers that will remain in the soil and readily available for your plants now through the upcoming winter and spring seasons.

The best time to deep root fertilize trees is during the spring. This is when plants are beginning to absorb nutrients from the soil to begin growing, as many plants remain dormant throughout the winter months.

Perform deep fertilization in the spring and your trees and plants will have the nutrients and resources required to improve their health and grow as the days get longer, warmers, and brighter.

It is not wise to perform deep root fertilization during the summer or winter months, so don’t miss out on that springtime window!

How to Apply Deep Root Fertilizer

A professional deep root feeding is performed by injecting a unique fertilizer solution to the top 3-9 inches of soil around the base of the shrub or tree being fertilized. Barefoot Property Management creates a custom-blended fertilization treatment that is specific to the type of soil on your property. Because we treat each property with care, making sure that all of your landscaping plants are getting the best fertilization “diet” suited for their unique growing conditions.
