Tree Fertilizers

Tree and shrub fertilizers have a countless number of benefits. The most obvious reason is allowing trees and shrubs to grow healthily and produce fruits and flowers for people’s disposal.

The development of trees and shrubs is depended on the amount of fertilizers and the type used. When it comes to amount, many gardeners fail to realize that too much fertilizer doesn’t make plants grow healthily. The types of fertilizers that will be taken by plants can either be synthetic or natural. Both types provide nutrients that they need.

Correct amount of fertilizers results in healthy flower production and greener leaves for shrubs and tasty fruits for trees.

How will you determine if your plants need fertilizers?

Taking care of trees and shrubs is a serious endeavor. Therefore, too many assumptions shouldn’t be made when taking care of them. As a gardener, you need to be knowledgeable about the symptoms of plants that are not getting enough supply of fertilizers. Symptoms include:

1. Yellow leaves or light green leaves.

2. The presence of dead spots on the leaves.

3. Leaves grow small in size, smaller than usual.

4. The number of leaves is fewer than normal.

5. The growth of short and annual twigs.

6. The presence of wilted foliage.

7. The dying of branches’ tips.

The manifestation of such symptoms shouldn’t be ignored since these are a perfect indication of inadequate supply of not just fertilizers but other important sources of energy that trees and shrubs need like water, moisture, and nutrients. However, if any of the symptoms is seen, proper measures should be taken immediately. For instance there is an abnormal growth of tree which is shorter than usual. In this case, the roots should be re-established to fix the problem and to let the tree grow continuously normally. However, don’t think that putting too much fertilizer will solve the abnormal growth of the plant, rather, identify the root cause of the problem before conducting any "medication" or corrective measure.

Fertilizers Contain Nutrients for Trees and Shrubs

The need for fertilizing can be attributed to the many needs of plants in terms of nutrients. In plant’s lifetime, it needs 17 elements to grow normally and fertilizers contain most of the nutrients that it needs to grow healthily and free from any plant diseases. The nutrients are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen present in the air and the water.

On the other hand, nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, nitrogen, and sulfur are taken from the soil through root absorption. The other six nutrients are branded as macronutrients while the other eight are called micronutrients which are branded as trace elements. Such micronutrients include boron, copper, chlorine, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and iron.

As what has been mentioned, plants like trees and shrubs need fertilizers in order for them to survive and in order for them to grow better. If such need is taken from them, then their chance to grow healthily is likewise taken.
