What Is Tree Health?
Tree health is the overall well-being and vigor of a tree, determined by its ability to grow, reproduce, and resist environmental stresses, pests, and diseases. A professional arborist or plant health care specialist evaluates factors like the integrity of the tree’s structure, the condition of its bark, leaves, and roots, as well as signs of infections or infestations. Proper tree health management is essential not only for appearance and longevity, but also for safety and ecological value. Through proactive care including pruning, soil improvement, disease treatment, and proper fertilization, trees are better equipped to thrive in both urban and natural environments. Like people, trees can become sick, and when they do, professional diagnosis and treatment are often necessary to restore full health.

What Services Does The Atlanta Arbor Tree Health Division Provide?
Atlanta Arbor’s Tree and Plant Health Care Division provides an array of services, all of which are tailored to your tree’s specific needs. These services can include:
Tree Fertilization: We label this “fertilization,” but fertilizer is only the smallest benefit of our product. Standard fertilizers are composed of 3 main nutrients: nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus (NPK). This is a good treatment for the lack of macronutrients in the soil. The problem is that fertilizer is just a treatment, and treatments need to be administered consistently. We are striving to provide a solution to the lack of micronutrients in your soil. Our “fertilizer” blend is composed not only of standard NPK fertilizers but also contains humic and amino acids, root vitamins, beneficial bacteria, sea kelp extract, and mycorrhizae. This combination works symbiotically to help change the composition of your soil. Changing the composition of your soil provides the best habitat for your tree roots.
Growth Regulators: This is a phenomenal product that can help trees in many different ways. A Growth Regulator reduces the amount of annual apical growth by up to 70%. A reduction in apical growth helps the tree preserve energy to fight drought stress, insect infestations, and decay. Although the tree slows apical growth, the fibrous root system production doubles, aiding in more water and nutrient uptake. Growth Regulators are installed in 3-year cycles, which equals great savings for you.
Integrated Pest Management: Our Integrated Pest Management programs combine natural, cultural, mechanical, and targeted chemical controls to manage pests responsibly. Each plan is tailored to the specific needs of your trees and shrubs, with service packages offering 4, 6, or 8 annual site visits to ensure ongoing protection and monitoring by a trained tree disease specialist.
Tree Density and Decay Measuring: How do you know if your is hollow or contains heartwood decay? We have the perfect tool to determine this. Our Resistograph measures tree density at various depths. This helps our arborists determine the level of risk your tree poses to you or your property. Trees can sustain from 30-60% decay before they are deemed structurally unstable. This percentage is dependent on tree species, location of decay, and other environmental circumstances.
These plant health care services are designed to optimize tree vigor, structural stability, and long-term resilience.
