Deep Root Fertilization Helps Bakersfield Trees Recover From a Long, Hot Summer

Post Copy

By late summer, many Bakersfield trees have been running on reserves for months. Heat stress pulls a lot out of a tree, and thinning canopy or slower leaf color are often the last signs to appear, not the first.

Deep root fertilization delivers nutrients to the root zone, where a stressed tree can actually use them, rather than the surface where summer heat and light watering rarely let it soak in. The goal is helping the tree rebuild before next year's heat arrives.

Our team tailors the mix and timing to the specific tree and soil, since a young ornamental needs something different than a mature shade tree carrying years of stress. It's how we combine generations of experience with current arboricultural science.

If your trees have looked tired by the end of summer in recent years, a fertilization plan now can make a real difference by spring.
