Evergreens’ growth can be easily maintained by having access to sunshine and water, but for healthy growth, a plant has to receive 17 different nutrients, usually present in fertilizers. The timing and early signs are also important for the overall process, so you might need to keep an eye on when you should consider fertilizing your Evergreens. The key signs you should closely monitor are as follows:

  • If your evergreen trees don’t grow as quickly as they should, fertilizers are a great option to boost their growth.
  • If they lack long needles or their signature green color, it usually means they’re short on nutrients and that their condition necessitates the right fertilizers.
  • Sandy and clay soils fail to offer the ideal conditions for planting evergreen trees, which means adding fertilizers will allow them to grow well under these unfavorable conditions.
  • Evergreens can suffer from damages caused by diseases and insects; in this case, fertilizers are needed to protect them from external attacks.
  • If you’re just starting your planting journey and recently planted young trees, fertilizing them can actually help them to grow quickly!

Conducting in-depth soil analysis around the tree is important to know more about the soil and if it lacks or even has nutrients’ excess. Sesmas Tree Service can help you determine the pH level and the current amount of organic matter within the soil.

Picking the Right Fertilizer Parameters

The right fertilizer is important for your evergreens trees; the bags usually contain the percentages of the different nutrients and minerals included. However, it’s recommended that you use:

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.

Ed Martin

  • A complete fertilizer with all the necessary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (P), known as NPK.
  • A fertilizer that is NPK 10-8-15: 10% nitrogen, 8% phosphorus, and 15% potassium.
  • Different percentages of the nutrients in the soil if the soil pH is off: Evergreens prefer slightly acidic soils (pH < 7).

When to Use Fertilizers?

  • The beginning of spring is the right period to use fertilizers, don’t use them late in the summer to prevent new growth later in the season.
  • Recently relocated Evergreen trees need additional time to get used to the new soil conditions, give them time to adapt before using fertilizers.
  • Water remains essential, and dry areas require a combination between regular watering and fertilizers.
