Nursery & Arbor Care Programs

Sample Program C - Tree and Shrub Transplant Program

At time of planting be sure of following:

-  Use approved non invasive plant species known to succeed in the geographic area you are in.

-  Properly select the micro environment that will favor transplant success.

-  Dig hole at the proper depth and width to adequately allow for 3x root development

-  If a tree spade was used,  then adequately open sides of hole with pick ax to allow for roots to drive through the sides.

-  Loosen Root ball and burlap if existing.

-  Prepare Organic mixes in combination to include 1/4 # each of Electro Start with Electro Man per 1" Caliper plant. 

-  Water heavily to saturation with Solution IBG Bio-Hume ws,  Mycostim and Stress X.

-  Repeat waterings daily for first 3 weeks unless it is a wet period

-  Reduce watering to twice a week

-  Repeat Organic feeding as needed or 3-4 months after transplant.

Sample Program D - Tree and Shrub Maintenance Program 

- At Post flowering or at first initial stress,  Drench in to the soils a solution of IBG Bio-Hume ws, Mycostim  and Stress X (Color of solution should be that of a watered down cola) then water in additionally.

- At High Stress or period of insect or fungal invasion.  Prepare mix of Fossilica, Organicide and IBG Bio-hume WS as Foliar spray.

- You may also at this time sidedress the plant with IBG Electro Man (with manganese and iron) for color improvement in the leaf tissue.  If however, your flowering plants are not producing the brightest colors possible you may elect to sidedress with IBG Electro Mag (8% magnesium).

- Repeat High Stress sprays as needed.

- Sidedress again in the Fall with a combination of Electro Start and either Electro Man or Mag.  This fall feed may allow you to skip the granular application the following summer.
