Proactive Fertilization Helps Trees Handle Bakersfield's Alkaline Soil

Post Copy

Bakersfield's naturally alkaline soil makes it harder for trees to pull certain nutrients, especially iron, out of the ground, even when the soil technically has enough of it present. Our tree and plant healthcare program is built around getting ahead of that problem before it shows up as a struggling tree.

A targeted fertilization plan looks at what a specific species needs and delivers it in a form the roots can actually use, rather than a generic feeding that ignores the soil chemistry a tree is dealing with locally.

It's a service that pairs well with the wholesale nursery side of our business too, since a newly installed tree benefits the most from a soil plan that sets it up to thrive from day one instead of struggling for its first few seasons.

Have you had a tree on your property that never seemed to look quite as full or green as it should?
