In the unique high alkaline soils of Grand Junction and Loma the health of your maple trees is often compromised by iron chlorosis. The focus on Tree & Shrub Care centers on the biological reality that while iron may be present in the soil the high pH levels of Western Colorado often make it unavailable to the tree. This leads to the characteristic yellowing of leaves while the veins remain green and eventually causing branch dieback and structural decline. A professional Tree & Shrub Fertilization roadmap involves the strategic application of chelated iron and soil acidifiers to restore the vibrant green canopy of your trees.

Mastering the Science of Micronutrient Bioavailability

Recovering your trees from mineral deficiencies requires a meticulous focus on soil chemistry and vascular delivery:

  • Identifying Early Signs of Iron Deficiency: We perform detailed canopy audits to distinguish between chlorosis and other Tree & Shrub Diseases that impact maple health.
  • Utilizing Specialized Soil Acidification Treatments: Our 2026 protocols include the use of amendments that lower the local soil pH and allowing the tree to naturally absorb Nutrients.
  • Implementing Targeted Trunk Injections for Rapid Recovery: For severe cases we utilize professional Trunk Injections to deliver concentrated iron directly into the vascular system for immediate results.
  • Managing Structural Vitality with Dormant Oil Applications: By protecting your trees from Insects like aphids and scale you reduce the overall stress on the plant during its recovery phase.
  • Verifying Success through High Resolution Nutrient Testing: Our ISA Certified Arborists monitor the color and density of the canopy to ensure the tree is successfully utilizing the treatments.

By addressing the specific nutritional needs of your Western Colorado trees today you create a stable foundation that allows your entire canopy to thrive throughout the 2026 season.
