Tree nutrition involves providing essential nutrients that support healthy growth and development. Trees primarily absorb water and minerals like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium through their roots from the soil. These nutrients help with leaf growth, root development, disease resistance, and overall vigor. Fertilizers supply missing nutrients if natural soil quality is lacking. Proper nutrition ensures trees remain strong, productive, and resilient to environmental stresses. It's important to monitor soil health and apply appropriate nutrients in balanced amounts, tailored to the tree species and growing conditions, to promote sustainable and healthy tree growth.
