Florida Tree Fertilization

Florida is home to a wide variety of plants including many native and transplanted species of trees, shrubs and bushes.

Tampa, like many other parts of Florida, is also very urbanized. Trees living in the forest get their nutrients from soil that is constantly replenished by rotting leaves and other natural fertilizers. Our urban forests lack this natural system due to pavement, insect control and pretty much everything that makes a city what it is.

Even in our yards, we can't or won't let nature take it's full course. We rake up our leaves and we drive out or kill of insects and generally try to keep our yards "clean".

Having a tree that does not get proper nutrients can be unsightly and dangerous. Unsightly because the leaves can discolor and dangerous because an unhealthy tree might drop large branches, or fail completely, falling and crushing anything or anyone below.

Mid Florida Tree Service can test your soil to analyse it's pH and determine the levels of each macro-nutrient that your tree needs, accounting for the specific needs of the species of tree.

Beyond this, Mid Florida Tree Service can perform "Deep Root Feeding" so that the fertilizer is delivered to the tree and not to the grass.
