Bio-Stimulants: The Multivitamin Your Trees Need This Fall!

Resources: Seasonal Tree Care, Tree Maintenance

Our health and wellness impact our everyday lives. We want to feel our best so we can be our best. This is no different for your plants and trees. We know that our wellbeing is dependent upon many things – from the food we eat to the environment we live in. But sometimes a healthy breakfast and a walk in the neighborhood is not enough. So, we take our vitamins and add supplements to our smoothies. Why? Because we know these are the additional steps we need to make in order to protect our health.  

It’s no different for the environment that surrounds us. There is no doubt that plants and trees receive nutrients from the earth, sunlight and rainfall, but what if there was something that could give them a leg up? A Biostimulant is just that. A Biostimulant works to improve your plants health. More specifically,  

As defined by the 2018 Farm Bill, a Bio stimulant is a “substance or microorganism that… stimulates natural processes to enhance or benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, or crop quality and yield.” 

Just like we take vitamins and supplements to boost our immune systems, we can perform a service for your trees and shrubs that combines all of these components to create a natural resistance to intrusive forces like disease and pests. Just like the nutrients eggshells add to your compost to help your garden flourish, a Biostimulant uses and enhances the nutrients found in the soil. It differs from fertilizer, a synthetic based material that, while fast acting, does not provide the same tolerance to extreme weather and bacteria’s, as a Biostimulant do.  

Improved productivity? What does that look like?

  • Greater water and nutrient intake 
  • More efficiency  
  • Stronger root structure and root expansion 

At the base of it all – Systematic Resistance 

Why now? 

We know this is hard to think about as we bid farewell to summer, but winter will be upon us before you know it! Fall is a great time to help your trees and shrubs get ahead of the anticipated cold weather. 

How do I get it?

We have been using RTEC for years and were very pleased with the recent tree maintenance work they did for us. As always, we got good advice from their arborist Ben,. The crew that did the work is highly skilled, and they did a great job trimming our trees. They worked safely and efficiently, in addition to leaving the yard clean after they finished the work.

RTEC was at my house today to removed a large Magnolia that was badly damaged by the recent snow. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently and quickly and cleaned up so well it was hard to tell anything have been disturbed. Over the past several years, I have used RTEC for all the services I checked above, and have always been very pleased with their service and professionalism. I also appreciate that they are not eager to take down trees that don't need to come down. In this case, the damage was too extensive for the tree to recover.

Once again, RTEC has done a great job. The team showed up right on time and performed all the work that we agreed to. They kept us informed as to progress, coordinated with us concerning our maple, and made recommendations concerning ongoing support for our trees. At the end of the day, they thoroughly cleaned up the debris and left our yard in pristine condition. WELL DONE.

Not our first time but this time was tricky removal of a large dead tree leaning on a healthy tree. Quick response for estimate, good timing to removal, all clear and healthy tree still fine.

We’ve used RTEC for many years for tree maintenance and can’t say enough good things about their service. We use them for tree trimming and for regular treatments to maintain our trees’ health and deal with pests and prevent disease. Their arborist Ben has been especially helpful with advice. RTEC also been especially helpful in emergency situations, once coming to cable a massive, heritage oak in our yard right before a hurricane was about to hit. Highly recommend.

RTEC did an excellent job onsite of removing dead branches from our 80+ year old trees, and trimming other growth too close to our home.
