Deep Root Fertilization as Part of Plant Health Care

Deep root fertilization is not a standalone cure for tree problems. At Truly Arbor Care, deep root fertilization is used only after professional diagnosis by an ISA Certified Arborist. This process supports tree health by addressing soil deficiencies and improving root function when testing and evaluation indicate it is appropriate.

Diagnosis Comes Before Deep Root Fertilization

Before recommending deep root fertilization, we evaluate tree health, soil conditions, root development, and environmental stress factors. When necessary, soil samples and plant tissue samples are sent to laboratories to identify nutrient imbalances or underlying issues that must be addressed first.

Soil Science and Root Health

Healthy trees depend on biologically active, well-structured soil. We assess soil compaction, drainage, nutrient availability, and root zone conditions to determine whether deep root fertilization will provide measurable benefit or if alternative treatments are required.

Targeted Fertilization, Not Blanket Feeding

Deep root fertilization is applied based on the specific needs of each tree. Treatments are designed to correct documented deficiencies rather than applying generalized fertilizer. This targeted approach supports root metabolism, energy production, and overall tree resilience.

Deep Root Fertilization and Tree Stress

Trees experiencing stress from construction damage, soil compaction, drought, or disease may benefit from soil-based support when properly diagnosed. Deep root fertilization can help improve recovery when combined with appropriate plant healthcare strategies.

Integration With Plant Health Care Programs

Deep root fertilization is often one component of a larger plant health care program. When appropriate, it is combined with soil improvement, disease management, pest control, growth regulators, or systemic treatments to support long-term tree health.

ISA and TCIA Standards-Based Care

All deep root fertilization recommendations are made by an ISA Certified Arborist and performed in accordance with industry best practices. Our approach aligns with professional arboricultural standards and focuses on long-term tree health rather than short-term results
