Early spring is the perfect time in Santa Fe to give your trees and shrubs a healthy head start. As plants begin to wake up from winter dormancy, applying fertilizer now helps support strong roots, new growth, and vibrant foliage before the growing season really takes off.
This is also the ideal window to apply dormant oil. Spraying before buds fully open helps control overwintering pests like aphids, mites, and scale that hide on bark and branches during the winter months. Treating them now can prevent bigger pest problems later in the season.
