Deep root fertilization is an important step in tree care, especially when trees and shrubs are planted outside of their natural habitat. Trees grown on private and commercial properties do not have the same soil conditions that you’d find in the wild. Because of this, trees often need supplemental nutrition in order to be at their healthiest.
