Feeding your trees, shrubs, and plants the proper nutrients at the right time can make a huge difference in their growth, health, and ability to bloom. Spring acts as nature's alarm clock. As the soil heats up and the days stretch out, our green friends shift into high gear, eager for the nutrients that spur their growth.
Given the diverse world of trees, shrubs, and plants, each with its growth habits and nutritional needs, fertilization is not a one-size-fits-all process. Choosing the perfect menu and portion size for each plant is beneficial.
