The health and beauty of trees, hedges, and shrubs on your property depend on your soil. However, every plant is different, of course. They each absorb and release different nutrients and minerals into the soil and like certain soil PH to thrive. Over time, a plant may deplete or overproduce too much of a certain nutrient and require a different hedge, shrub, and tree fertilization in Victoria, BC, depending on the plant’s needs.
Our garden bed maintenance team are experts in plants—and what soil conditions each tree or shrub needs.
We often recommend adding soil amenders and mulching to your garden beds first. However, some fruit trees or flowering shrubs, for example, such as rhododendrons, require specific plant food or fertilizers to blossom and reach their full potential, especially in Victoria, BC’s climate.
We generally use organic slow-release fertilizers that can be absorbed into the roots for several months. In doing so, your trees, hedges, and shrubs can grow strong and healthy, warding off pests—and avoiding using harsh pesticides to control issues that could be solved at the roots.
If we’re already working on your garden beds or pruning your hedges and shrubs, we can bring in the right fertilizer product at the right time of year and make a big impact on the health of your plants. We are not currently offering this as a one-off service but can add it to your annual maintenance package.
Organic slow-release tree fertilization in Victoria BC could be just what they need to grow (and blossom) to their full potential.
