Fertilizing Your Trees & Shrubs Is Essential for Their Success!

Fertilizing your trees and shrubs in Florida is essential for their success, as it provides vital nutrients that bolster robust growth, vibrant color, and overall health. It's common to fertilize them monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly to suit your preferences and ensure they always receive a consistent supply of these nourishments. Additionally, these treatments can be administered via root injections or granular around the drip lines, depending on which is best for your specific plants.

Why should you fertilize your trees and shrubs?

Your trees and shrubs play an integral role in enhancing the beauty of your landscape, which is why you want them to be as healthy and lush as possible. To achieve this, you must provide them with the proper nutrition through regular fertilization treatments. Fertilizing your trees and shrubs will supply them with all the essential nutrients they need to grow strong and vibrant, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen promotes chlorophyll production, which helps your plants convert sunlight into energy, allowing them to grow and stay green. Phosphorus encourages root growth, which means better anchorage in the soil, improved water and nutrient uptake, and overall healthier plants. Potassium builds up the strength of cell walls, making them thicker and more durable, allowing your trees and shrubs to better endure stress.

How often should you fertilize your trees and shrubs?

The frequency at which you should fertilize your trees and shrubs varies depending on your preferences and the needs of your specific plants. To keep your trees and shrubs consistently nourished throughout the year, it's common to apply a treatment monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly.

• Monthly: Monthly fertilization ensures your plants never run out of nutrients, providing them with a steady dose to sustain healthy growth and vigor.
• Bi-monthly: Bi-monthly applications are great if your plants don't need them as frequently as monthly but will still provide enough for optimal plant health.
• Quarterly: Quarterly fertilization involves treating your trees and shrubs every three months. It offers a lower nutrient concentration than monthly or bi-monthly, making it ideal if your plants don't require an abundance of nutrients while still supplying what they need.

What kind of tree and shrub fertilization treatments should you use?

There are several ways to fertilize your trees and shrubs, including liquid root injections or granular products spread around the drip lines. Which method you choose depends on the type of plants you have and which is best for them. Liquid root injections involve injecting a fertilizer solution directly into the ground. Because this method delivers nutrients straight to the roots where they are needed most, it's highly effective at maximizing absorption. Meanwhile, granular products consist of small granules spread around the drip lines, slowly releasing nutrients over time to promote long-term, uniform growth. The decision comes down to what works best for your specific trees and shrubs.
