How Often Should You Fertilize a Tree?

If you are a homeowner, you may have noticed some changes in your tree’s foliage and are wondering if it is time to fertilize. Fertilization is one of the best ways to stimulate new growth. It can help combat insect infestations and diseases. However, you should only use fertilizer if your tree is in good health.

Determining the Type of Fertilizer

Many homeowners are confused when it comes to what type of fertilizer to use. The best way to determine which type is right for your tree is to get a soil test. This will tell you the amount of potassium, phosphorus, and micronutrients your tree needs.

Determining How Often you Should Fertilize

After you have a good idea of the nutrients your tree needs, you can determine how often you should fertilize your tree. Newly planted trees need to be fertilized at least once a year to promote rapid establishment. Older trees need less fertilization to stay healthy.

When is the Good Time to Put a Fertilizer?

A good time to apply fertilizer to your trees is in the spring or early fall. These are the times that nutrient uptake is highest. Also, spring fertilization can promote greener leaves and stronger branch growth. Fall fertilization can help your tree recover from a nutrient loss in the summer and prepare it for the cold winter months ahead.

Mulching

When you have a newly planted tree, it is important to mulch it well. Mulch helps retain moisture and can prevent the fertilizer from washing away. You should also avoid fertilizing near waterways.
