While the leaves are coming down across the Mahoning Valley, tree roots are still actively growing, and that makes fall one of the best times to fertilize.
Roots keep growing until soil temperatures drop close to freezing, often well into November in Northeast Ohio. Nutrients applied now go toward root development and stored energy rather than a rush of new leaves, helping trees head into winter stronger.
Fertilization is especially helpful for trees in compacted suburban soil, newer landscapes, and yards where leaves are raked away every year, removing the natural nutrients a forest floor would provide.
Starwood's ISA-certified arborists tailor each application to the tree and the site, because more fertilizer isn't always better. The right amount at the right time supports healthier trees across Girard, Youngstown, and the surrounding area, so they leaf out fuller when spring returns.
