Your plants need nutrients to thrive, just like your lawn, and nothing enhances your property's curb appeal more than healthy, beautiful trees and shrubs! Fortunately, that's where fertilization treatments come in, and with the fall season in full swing here in Indiana, it's the perfect time to apply them! After all, your plants will need the nutrients to help them recover from any summer-related stress, then survive the winter season. You'll also want to fertilize them via soil injection so that the nutrients directly reach the roots of your plants. This blog will discuss in more depth the benefits of fertilizing your trees and shrubs in the fall so that you can reap the benefits of thriving plants later!

Fertilizing your trees and shrubs in the fall will give them the nutrients they need to recover from the stress of summer.

With the fall season comes relief from the hot summer temperatures. However, the summer has likely already put a lot of stress on your trees and shrubs, so they'll need a boost of nutrients to help them recover. Because of this, fall is the perfect season to fertilize them! A fertilization treatment will supply your plants with the micronutrients they'll need to get back on track to good health, though the three essential ones are:

  • Nitrogen: Nitrogen will encourage chlorophyll production, thus giving your plants' foliage a vibrant green color.
  • Phosphorus: Phosphorus will aid in strong root development.
  • Potassium: Potassium will build up their strength, helping them recover from the summer and even stay resistant to stressors in the future, including plant diseases and insects.

Many professional tree and shrub care programs include fertilization and insect and disease control treatments to protect your plants from fungal diseases and infestations.

Not only will fall fertilization help your plants recover after the summer, but it'll also give them additional nutrients to survive the winter season. After all, it'll boost their strength and give them enough to store and use throughout the winter. That way, your trees and shrubs have a better chance of making it through until the next growing season.

You'll want to fertilize your trees and shrubs via soil injection.

There are many different ways to fertilize your trees and shrubs, but you'll want to do so via soil injection. As the name implies, you'll inject the liquid fertilizer into the soil at the base of your plants to deliver the nutrients directly to their roots. This fertilization method is ideal because it'll immediately get to work replenishing their health; it'll reach the deepest roots before dispensing the nutrients to the rest of the plant. Before long, you'll see a drastic improvement in your trees and shrubs!
