Spring is coming, despite the recent snowfall. Soon your flowers will be blooming, your days will be longer, and your trees will be coming out of dormancy. They are ready to shade your playgrounds, cool your houses, and clean your air.

Your trees are important to you and the environment. However, they are often neglected and in need of a little TLC. The urban environment can be stressful for trees with limited resources and other adverse conditions.

Nutrient depletion is one of the most common stressors of trees. Without adequate nutrients in the soil trees struggle to fight off pests, disease, and fungi that are ever present in the surrounding environment. The Deep Root Feed program at Northwest Tree Specialists can help alleviate this issue. We inject a combination of naturally derived organic material containing a wealth of macro and micro nutrients, along with beneficial fungi, directly into the heart of the root mass of your trees. In addition, a spring fertilizer with 40% slow release nitrogen is added to stimulate new top growth. The result is better looking trees with a stronger defense system.

Spring time is also the time when pest such as Bronze Birch Bore and Pine Bark Beetle emerge as adults and re-populate stressed trees. Systemic pesticide injections directly into the trunks of infested trees can help combat these devastating pests. Preventative applications of the same pesticides can stop infestation before it begins. Pesticide applications combined with our Deep Root Feed program, will ensure your trees will have all the necessary tools needed for a happy healthy 2010.
