FALL FERTILIZATION! If plants in nature do perfectly well on their own, why do we need to maintain landscapes with fertilizer applications? Garden plants are not growing in natural settings where their roots rest undisturbed and nutrients naturally recycle. Native soils normally contain naturally occurring organic matter, are less compacted, and do a better job of retaining moisture and nutrients. Urban/suburban gardens usually have depleted soils that lack many of the 16 necessary mineral elements essential to plant growth. These nutrients may need to be re-introduced in order to establish healthy landscapes. Research points to the fall (late September - beginning of October) as the best time to fertilize woody plants. Early Spring, before new leaves emerge, is the next best time. Summer fertilization is discouraged. Because root growth and nutrient absorption can occur anytime soil temperatures are above 40 degrees F., the fall offers a prolonged period where plants can benefit from feeding. Top growth has ceased and bud formation is nearly complete, so nitrogen and other nutrients absorbed at this time are converted into stored carbohydrates. This energy will be used to support healthy spring growth and development. In addition, we expect plenty of natural rainfall in the fall, which increases uptake of plant nutrients. As a general rule, established trees should receive 1 lb. of an 8-8-8 fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter measured chest high. A second formula calls for 1.5 lbs of 8-8-8 per 100 sq. ft. of root area. Since root systems on mature trees can spread as much as 1.5 to 2 times beyond the drip line, measuring the canopy spread can be misleading. The square footage method works better with shrub beds. Trees typically need fertilizer applied closer to feeder roots and well below the competing roots of turf. Use a punch bar or an auger to place the fertilizer 6 inches or deeper. Fertilizer for shrubs and perennial beds can be applied to the surface using the broadcast method; the amount is based on square footage. #woodyplants #westonnurseries #plants #trees #shrubs #fallmaintenance #garden #gardening #lilacs #fertilizer #fallfertilizer #annual

Perennials for Fall Color While some plants are winding down in fall, having flowered and set seed, others are just getting into the swing of things. If your garden is in need of a refresh, or you wish to extend the season for pollinators, these are a few of the fall-blooming perennials you could consider. Asters really herald fall in New England. With their daisy flowers ranging in color from white to pink, and purple to blue, they enhance fall’s color palate, especially when grown alongside perennials such as rudbeckia. Native asters are not only diverse in their size, ranging as they do between one and six feet tall, but depending on the aster in question, grow in both sun or shade. Bugbane is a tall, elegant plant for moist, shady conditions. It has lacy foliage, and its current botanical nomenclature is a reference to its foliage being considered similar in appearance to elderberry leaves. Japanese anemone is the common name given to several species of anemone native to China or Nepal, but which have been cultivated extensively in Japan for hundreds of years. Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia/Salvia yangii) is an aromatic plant with silvery foliage, and lavender blue flowers which are popular with bees. To maintain neat and vigorous growth, it should be cut back to near its base each spring. Toad Lilies (Tricyrtis spp.) are uncommon plants for moist, shady conditions. Their speckled flowers resemble orchids, and like orchids they have a long blooming period. Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum) is one of several grasses I could mention in this article, but space restricts me to just one, so on this occasion, I have chosen a tall, native grass that also has attractive cultivars. And lastly, to bring this article full circle so to speak, the last perennial to be mentioned is also iconic of fall: chrysanthemum. These are Korean mums, which were initially hybridized in Connecticut during the 1930s to provide greater cold tolerance.
