Recovering from Summer Storms Fall Is Fantastic For

Fall Is Fantastic For
Deep-Root Fertilization
In their natural woodland habitat, trees and shrubs are
free to absorb all the nutrients they need from the rich,
organic forest soil. In your landscape, however, it’s a different story entirely. The roots of your trees and shrubs are
forced to compete with grass roots for valuable nutrients.
Plus, we regularly remove fallen leaves and other organic
matter from our yards, taking away our plants’ natural
nutrient supply.
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Fall 2013 issue of Growing Together!
Recovering from Summer Storms
Summer storms can do serious damage to your valuable landscape trees. Broken limbs,
shredded foliage and stripped bark are all common storm injuries that can leave your
trees looking like there’s no hope. But in many cases, trees can be saved with a little help
from Davey.
Let Us Evaluate the Damage
If your trees are showing signs of storm damage, we recommend that you allow us to
come out and perform an inspection this fall. We’ll check for the following:
‡ Is the tree healthy and vigorous (other than storm damage)?
‡ Have major limbs been lost or broken?
‡ Is the leader (the main upward-trending branch) badly damaged or destroyed?
‡ Are at least 50% of the branches and leaves still intact?
‡ Where branches have been broken or bark has been damaged, how big are the
wounds?
‡ Of the remaining branches, how many are capable of forming a new branch structure?
Depending on the information we gather,
we can help you make an informed decision on the next steps to take. In cases
where damage is relatively light, pruning
and repair of torn bark or rough edges
are often all that’s needed. In borderline
cases, we may recommend the same

decision can then be made based on how
well the tree has recovered. Keep in mind
that pruning now can lessen the chances
of winter storm damage.
Don’t Forget the Arbor Green®!

and fall is a great time to have it done. A deep-root injection of Davey’s patented, slowrelease Arbor Green fertilizer will strengthen your trees and help them resist the effects of
severe weather. This will also help improve color, growth, vigor and overall health.

Making Up the Difference
With the arrival of fall, top growth slows down, and plants
shift their energy from foliage production to root expansion. The more nutrients your trees and shrubs can absorb, the more extensive their root systems will be, making
them much better prepared for cold winter weather and
new growth next spring. A deep-root application of Davey’s
Arbor Green PRO® slow-release fertilizer will provide your
trees and shrubs with the nutrients they need.
Simply spreading fertilizer on the ground won’t really do
your trees and shrubs any good, since your grass will end
up receiving most of the benHÀWV DV SURYHQ LQ D UHFHQW
Davey study). Deep-root fertilization, on the other hand, is

of delivering nutrients to your
landscape plants. Injecting
Arbor Green PRO® below the
soil surface under high pressure places nutrients right
where they need to be - in the
feeder root zone of your trees
and shrubs.
The synthesized organic nitrogen, food-grade phosphorus

a polyamino acid for improved nutrient availability and
microbial activity in the soil. This promotes an increase in
root mass and root branching.
With a deep-root application of Arbor Green PRO® this fall,
your trees and shrubs will be stronger going into the cold
months ahead. Their ability to store water will be improved.
They will be less susceptible to damage from diseases,
insects and stressful weather. Plus, you’ll be treated to
better blooming and enhanced vitality next spring!
