Our plant care is built around the Thrive Plant Essentials℠ – six core applications per year. The applications generally are performed 6-8 weeks apart. However, during the summer months applications may be closer together depending on insect activity.
- Late winter dormant oil spray – this application is a horticultural oil spray applied to plant material that controls overwintering eggs of plant injuring insects, reducing the insect pressure for the coming season.
- Early spring fertilizer – our Thrive Plant Essentials℠ spring fertilization is an application of controlled release fertilizer that lasts up to 8 months feeding the tree & shrubs at the proper rate all season long.
- Late spring Insect & Disease spray – our Insect & Disease control applications are designed to reduce insect and disease pressure in your trees and shrubs. These applications include both contact control and systemic protection for effective results.
- Early summer Insect & Disease spray – this application is the same as application #3.
- Late summer Insect & Disease spray – this application is the same as application #3.
- Fall fertilizer – Our Thrive Plant Essentials℠ fall fertilizer is an application of balanced fertilizer that strengthens plants for the winter and coming year.
