Spring is upon us, bringing nature a burst of growth and rejuvenation. Ensuring trees access the proper soil nutrients is essential to nurturing this growth. This season marks a critical time for trees as they awaken from dormancy and begin their annual growth cycle. As a reputable tree care company, Sesmas Tree Service can inspect, diagnose, and recommend suitable fertilizers to provide adequate soil nutrients. Here are reasons to consider fertilizing your trees in the spring.

Why Your Trees Need Soil Nutrients in the Spring 

Supporting Growth and Development

As mentioned, spring is a period of rapid growth for trees as they produce new leaves, branches, and roots. Adequate soil nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are essential for supporting this vigorous growth. Certified arborists can conduct an in-depth soil test to determine the deficient nutrients and recommend suitable fertilizers to restore balance. If your trees don’t show signs of nutrient deficiency, hire a tree service expert for routine inspections.

Enhancing Flowering and Fruit Production

Spring is a critical time for flower and fruit development if you have fruit-bearing trees on your premises. Proper nutrition and maintenance, like tree pruning and trimming, ensure your trees have the energy and resources to produce abundant blooms and set fruit. Nutrients like phosphorus and potassium play vital roles in flower formation, pollination, and fruit maturation. You can avoid diminished yields and premature tree removal emergencies with adequate soil nutrients and routine tree trimming and maintenance.

Boosting Immune System and Stress Resistance

Besides marking a time of growth, spring brings various stressors for trees, including temperature fluctuations, pests, and diseases. Healthy trees with well-balanced soil nutrients are better equipped to withstand these challenges. Nutrients like calcium and magnesium enhance cell structure and function, mitigating damages caused by pathogens and environmental stressors. In addition, proper fertilization and effective maintenance, like tree trimming, support the tree’s immune system, preventing infections and infestations.

Facilitating Photosynthesis 

Photosynthesis is when trees convert sunlight into energy, promoting growth and metabolism. Adequate soil nutrients are crucial for optimizing photosynthesis. Nitrogen is a vital component of chlorophyll, the green pigment that captures light energy. Without sufficient nitrogen, trees may exhibit chlorosis or yellowing of leaves, reducing their ability to photosynthesize effectively. If you notice signs of low photosynthesis, call a tree service expert quickly before things worsen, causing severe damage and tree removal emergencies

Promoting Long-Term Health and Sustainability

Proper nutrition in the spring sets the stage for trees’ long-term health and sustainability. Well-nourished trees are more resilient to environmental stressors, less susceptible to pest and disease infestations, and better able to adapt to changing conditions. By investing in soil health and nutrient management, homeowners, landscapers, and arborists can ensure the vitality and longevity of their trees for years to come.

As spring nears and trees come to life, it’s essential to prioritize soil nutrient management to support their growth, flowering, and overall health. Contact us at the Sesmas Tree Service to give your trees the proper nutrients they need during this critical period. Schedule a consultation today with our trusted tree care company and access exceptional services like tree pruning to promote lush foliage, abundant fruiting, and resilient immune systems.

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.
