Speaker: Zach Shier, Joseph Tree Service
The world of arboriculture is always changing and as the industry moves away from some of the old methods of treating for tree nutrient deficiencies, new products and methods have emerged. The increased use of organic based products, emphasis on foliar and soil testing, and improved methods for amending soil and understanding tree deficiencies can be challenging to navigate. This presentation will help make sense of why organic products are becoming more popular and help explain the different types. We’ll go over modern methods and why some of the traditional methods may be less than optimal as well as explaining some of the comparisons between types of fertilization and other products in the Arborist’s toolbox.
