Direct Delivery, Immediate Results

When we spray nutrients onto leaves, absorption happens quickly — often within hours. This makes foliar feeding ideal for trees that need rapid correction or that have root systems too damaged to transport nutrients efficiently on their own.

Roots Can’t Do It All

Some nutrients just don’t move well through the soil. Micronutrients like iron and magnesium are a perfect example — applying them to the ground is largely ineffective. Foliar feeding solves this by applying nutrients directly to the leaf surface, where they’re absorbed into plant tissue right away. It’s the fastest, most direct way to correct deficiencies and get struggling trees back on track.

A Special Penetrator for Maximum Absorption

We use a specialized penetrator in our foliar applications to maximize how much product actually gets into the leaf tissue. Because leaves can only absorb so much at a time, we typically recommend a series of applications for the best results.

Micronutrient Deficiencies, Solved

Iron, magnesium, manganese — these micronutrients are critical for healthy foliage but notoriously hard to deliver through the soil. Foliar feeding is the most reliable way to address these deficiencies quickly and effectively.

Customized for Each Tree

Our foliar formulations are tailored to the specific needs of each tree species and the deficiencies we’ve identified. Nothing generic — just the right nutrients in the right amounts for your trees.

Efficient and Eco-Friendly

We use organic-friendly ingredients and techniques designed to avoid leaf burn and protect the surrounding soil environment. Foliar feeding is precise, targeted, and kind to the ecosystem.

Works Hand in Hand with Pest Management

Our foliar feeding visits and pest management treatments can often be combined into one efficient trip — so you get more done with less disruption to your property and better overall results.

Is Foliar Feeding Right for Your Trees?

If your trees are showing signs of micronutrient deficiency, slow growth, or poor color despite good soil conditions, foliar feeding may be exactly what they need. Our arborists can evaluate your trees and recommend the right approach — contact us today.
