When Could Your Trees Benefit from Fertilization?

Whether a tree could benefit from fertilization depends on its growing conditions and nutrient needs. For homeowners and property managers in London, Ontario, and surrounding communities, the first step is understanding what may be affecting the tree’s health.

Consider the growing conditions

Trees growing in lawns share soil space with grass and other plants. Nearby construction, changes in drainage and limited growing space can also affect their condition. Fertilization may be worth considering when nutrient availability is part of the problem.

Look beyond the symptoms

Sparse foliage, discoloured leaves or reduced growth are reasons to investigate. They do not, on their own, confirm a nutrient deficiency. Watering problems, root damage, pests and diseases may produce similar symptoms.

Before choosing a treatment, seek advice about the likely cause. Fertilizer cannot correct every tree-health problem.

Prepare for your enquiry

When contacting a tree-care provider, useful details include your property location, the type of tree if known, what changes you have noticed and when they began. Mention recent planting, construction or changes to watering. Clear photos can also help explain your concern.
