Fall Is One of the Best Times to Boost Tree Health

Why Fall Works in Phoenix

As summer fades, Arizona’s desert climate gives trees a much-needed break. Fall brings cooler days, mellow evenings, and occasional rainfall—the perfect environment for tree recovery and root growth.
Here’s why fall is one of the most beneficial seasons for your trees in Phoenix:

  • 🌦️ Rain + mellow temps push nutrients deeper into the soil with less evaporation and stress.

  • 🌡️ Warm soils remain active, driving new root growth long after summer ends.

  • 💪 Faster recovery from heat, drought, and monsoon storm damage.

In short—your trees may slow their growth above ground, but below the surface, roots are thriving. This makes fall the perfect window to feed, strengthen, and shape your trees for long-term health.

🌿 Soil Injections (Deep Root Feeding)

Healthy trees start at the roots. Our Soil Injection treatments deliver nutrients and oxygen directly to the root zone, ensuring deeper absorption and stronger canopies.
This process improves aeration, reduces soil compaction, and provides long-term nourishment for healthier, greener growth.

You can learn more about how PROS Tree & Landscape performs this service on our Deep Root Fertilization page.

💧 Super Feed Applications (Fertilizer)

Arizona’s alkaline soil can limit nutrient uptake, leaving trees undernourished. Our Super Feed fertilizer applications are custom-blended for Arizona’s unique soil conditions, replenishing essential nutrients and improving root vitality.
Regular fall fertilization helps trees recover from summer stress and prepare for winter dormancy with balanced nutrition.

Regular fall fertilization helps trees recover from summer stress and prepare for winter dormancy with balanced nutrition. According to the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, fall is one of the most effective times to fertilize desert trees, since roots remain active in the warm soil even as air temperatures cool.

Foliar Sprays: Fast Nutrient Boosts

For visible deficiencies—like yellowing leaves or thin canopies—foliar sprays offer rapid results. Nutrients are absorbed directly through the leaves, giving trees a quick, effective boost when they need it most.
It’s an ideal treatment for immediate recovery and overall canopy health heading into the cooler months.

🌱 Soil Drenches: Targeted Tree Therapy

When trees show signs of stress, pest activity, or micronutrient imbalances, soil drenches deliver precise, root-level solutions. These treatments are especially useful post-monsoon, helping restore soil health and reduce disease risk before winter.

Professional Tree Trimming: Structure & Safety

Fall is one of the safest times for tree trimming. Cooler temps reduce stress, and pruning after monsoon season helps eliminate weak or damaged branches before winter.
Professional trimming improves structure, airflow, and light penetration—encouraging stronger growth in spring while reducing the risk of breakage during storms.
