A very important component of any Plant Health Care program is fertilization. If a plant does not have the proper types and amounts of nutrients, the plant will not be as strong as it should be.
A vigorously growing plant is not only beautiful to look at but is also able to maintain a higher level of good health by naturally resisting insect and disease attacks.
SYMPTOMS OF A NUTRIENT DEFICIENT TREE:
A slow rate and low amount of annual growth on twigs and trunk,
Smaller than normal foliage, Off-color foliage, Fertilizing trees and shrubs provides them with the building blocks needed to build food reserves for growth.

and increased rates of disease and insect problems.
Trees that possess these symptoms generally would respond to a fertilization treatment. One should make sure that nutrients (or lack of) are the problem before fertilizing.
