Tree management and Fertization

With the cooler months now upon us and as most of the trees now go dormant or at the very least growth is slowed now is the time to prepare our trees for spring with goal of enhancing the vitality, beauty and function of our trees through fertization. The introduction of different types and formulations of fertization has grown Immensity (Pun intended) Add to this the wide variation of soil types and disturbed soils from one back yard to the next, the range of weather conditions from the coast to the Upper Mountains. Now add the wide range of tree species from our native gums trees Rainforest trees to introduced exotic trees and fruit trees, each having somewhat different problems and nutrient needs. Each tree species have a preferred soil pH soil type that allows them to effectively uptake the nutrients that they need, this is called effective cation exchange capacity (eCEC) To best determine the needs of your trees please contact Fred Janes arborist at Angophora Consulting Arborist who is a level 5 Arborist up to date with the latest techniques and can conduct a soil pH test to determine what fertizer is best for your trees
