Inspect the plant for disease
The first step to identifying a problem is knowing the signs. Look for these symptoms in your sick trees:
- Poor structure with unnatural growth pattern
- Decay with a bulging base and soft branches
- Deep cracks with pest infestation
- Dead wood that is dry and brittle
Contact the experts
Certified arborists are trained to care for and maintain trees. Arborists are the best doctor to call for a sick tree. We’ll evaluate the state of the tree, the soil composition, and the best treatment for its illness. Unlike trees in the forest, landscaped trees are often devoid of natural mulch providing nutrients and natural fertilizer. Our natural tree solutions replenish these nutrients and foster growth. Two great options we’ll consider are mycorrhizal treatments and deep root fertilization treatments. Both are organic solutions to keep your yard and its occupants safe and healthy.
- Mycorrhizal Root Fertilizer introduces healthy fungus and bacteria into the soil to support healthy plants.
- Root Booster Deep Root Fertilizer is a stimulating blend of compost to improve the health of plants.
Provide the basic necessities
Properly caring for your tree will ensure its resilience and longevity. Maintain the basic health of your trees with regular watering and proper pruning.
