Hydrating your trees
Watering Services
Watering a transplanted tree is essential because of its root system. The roots are often damaged or stressed during transplanting, and the tree struggles to absorb enough moisture to support it's needs. Without consistent and adequate watering, the tree may experience transplant shock, leading to wilting, leaf drop, or even death as it tries to establish itself in its new location. Proper hydration during the transplant and in the first few months helps the roots grow and spread, anchoring the tree and ensuring its long-term survival. Alta West provides exceptional scheduled services to make sure your trees stay healthy and strong for years to come. ​​​​
Fertilizing your new trees
Fertilizing Services
​
Specific fertilizers are used when transplanting trees to coat the roots with a nutrient-rich gel that prevents them from drying out and reduces the stress of relocation. This improves the trees chances of survival. It also promotes faster root growth by supplying essential nutrients like nitrogen directly to the root zone, helping the tree establish itself more quickly in its new environment.
​
After the tree is planted additional fertilization requires caution, as their stressed root systems may not handle heavy nutrient loads immediately after replanting. The essentials include using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide steady nutrients, supporting root establishment without overwhelming the tree. Timing is key... applying fertilizer a few weeks after transplanting, once the tree shows signs of settling in, helps promote healthy growth without risking root burn. Trust that Alta West and our professional team can handle all of the very specific details associated to keeping your trees healthy and strong when transplanting. ​​
