Yes, it is highly recommended to apply mulch around the base of treated trees. A layer of mulch, approximately 2-4 inches deep, helps to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. It also acts as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of mechanical damage from lawn equipment and preventing direct contact between the tree trunk and the surrounding soil.  

The best protection against the devastating effects of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is through preservation. Since its discovery in 2002, EAB has claimed millions of Ash trees. Prevention is vital. Injecting the tree with a specific prescribed treatment offers up to 3 seasons of protection, which is crucial to prevent EAB attacks and preserve the health and longevity of your valuable Ash trees.

Proper irrigation and mulching promote tree health and vigor. Proper irrigation ensures that trees receive the necessary hydration for growth and development by providing adequate water to the roots. Mulching, on the other hand, helps conserve soil moisture, reduces competition from weeds, and adds organic matter to the soil as it decomposes. Together, these practices enhance the tree's overall health and vitality. 

Seasonal fertilization is recommended for trees in urban landscapes because they often do not receive all the nutrients they would naturally obtain in a more undisturbed environment. The urban soil conditions are typically depleted of essential nutrients, making it difficult for trees to thrive. By providing seasonal fertilization in the spring and fall, we can replenish the soil with the custom selection of nutrients needed to support the tree's growth and overall health.   

Yes, seasonal fertilization plays a vital role in meeting trees' nutrient needs. During photosynthesis, trees produce glucose, which is essential for growth, reproduction, and resistance against pests and diseases. In urban forest soils, these crucial nutrients are often lacking or not readily available. Providing additional treatments, especially in the fall, ensures the tree has the necessary nutrients to sustain these vital processes. This enables the tree to store the required nutrients, allowing it to continue the photosynthesis cycle effectively and maintain its health and vigor. 

Treating trees with a Tree Growth Regulator every three years can positively affect their overall health. This treatment enhances fine root growth, increases drought tolerance, and improves the resilience of ash trees to harsh urban conditions. By promoting root development and increasing the tree's ability to withstand stressful situations, such as water scarcity or urban pollution, the Tree Growth Regulator contributes to the tree's long-term health and vitality.
