How to Care for Your Trees & Shrubs Throughout the Year

Your trees and shrubs play a significant role in the overall curb appeal of your property in Northeast Georgia, so it's important to keep them healthy and strong throughout the year. Fortunately, there are some things that you can do to keep your plants in great shape, including fertilizing them, applying insect control treatments, and applying disease control treatments to them. By fertilizing your plants, you can provide them with the nutrients that they need to thrive. Insect control treatments will help to prevent insects from feeding on your plants, while disease control treatments will help to keep them protected from various diseases.

Fertilize Your Plants to Provide Them With the Nutrients They Need to Thrive

Fertilizing your plants ensures they have the nutrients that will help them thrive, boosting their health and building up their resilience against stressors. To give your trees and shrubs proper nourishment throughout the growing season, make sure they are fertilized 7 times from late winter to fall. Following this kind of schedule will help your plants emerge from dormancy, get back to growing actively in the spring, and provide them with enough nutrients to stay healthy as the growing season gets underway.

Aside from following a good fertilization treatment schedule, it's also crucial to observe proper application techniques. The first application should be an injection drench to deliver nutrients directly to the roots of your plants. Then, the rest of the applications should be liquid sprays that are applied directly to the foliage of your plants to give them a boost of nutrients.

Protect your plants from insects by applying insect control treatments.

Insects can cause serious damage to your plants if they infest them. That's why it's important to protect your plants from these pests by applying insect control treatments to them. You'll want to administer preventative tree and shrub insect control treatments along with each fertilizer application. Preventative treatments will keep insects from taking over your plants, so no damage falls upon them. Pairing them with fertilizer treatments ensures your trees and shrubs are not only nourished with proper nutrients but also have an optimal defense against invasive pests. In the winter, it's important to apply dormant oil to protect them from overwintering insects.

Keep your plants protected from diseases through disease control treatments.

There are a variety of diseases that can infect your plants and cause serious damage to them. To keep your plants protected from these diseases, you'll want to have preventative disease control treatments applied to them. Regular preventative disease control treatments throughout the year are essential in ensuring diseases don't ever develop and spread on your trees and shrubs. By taking this proactive approach, you can help keep your plants safe from a variety of diseases and the extensive damage they can cause.
