Deep Root Fertilization

Deep Root Fertilization / Feeding

Deep Root Fertilization is the procedure where a nutrient solution of extreme quality and organic purity is injected into the root zone of a tree. This high pressure injection begins just below the soil surface and continues to a depth of twelve inches, delivering the organic material as well as aerates, or provides much needed oxygen to the root system. Injection locations are two to three feet apart in a grid pattern under the tree canopy and beyond the drip line.

It is recommended that fertilization programs be repeated once or twice a year. An increase in frequency is recommended in instances where severe root damage has occurred, soil compaction exists, or other health problems are present. Additional injections will improve conditions in and around the root zone.

Royal Tree Works' unique organic blend was formulated especially for the arid and dry Valley of the Sun climate. Studies have shown that this blend will increase antioxidant production, photosynthetic capacity and respiration, resulting in improved drought stress and deep, dense root growth. Its use will produce healthier trees that are more resistant to environmental pressures and disease.

While our unique solution is created for the harsh environment of the Arizona desert, there may be times when your Arborist will recommend additives to the standard mixture when certain nutrient deficiencies or health concerns are present.
