MicorTree Savor Injectable is used to inoculate mature and newly planted trees and shrubs. MicorTree Savor PT is also used for established trees in decline and trees growing in stressed environments. This product contains mycorrhizal fungi which is necessary for plant growth in natural environments. MicorTree Savor provides a living link between the trees feeder root system and the surrounding soil ecology. MicorTree Savor contains species of endo- and ectomycorrhizal fungi that will colonize and invigorate the roots of trees growing in all types of soil conditions.

Trees and shrubs require large quantities of six macronutrients and lesser quantities of ten micronutrients. The six following are the most important.

MACRONUTRIENTS
  • Nitrogen - Promotes green leaves and stems
  • Phosphorus - Used in the production of roots, flowers, and fruit
  • Potassium - Aids in flowering and fruiting, sturdiness, and disease an stress resistances
  • Calcium - Aids in cell manufacturing
  • Magnesium - A prime element in the development of seed and chlorophll
  • Sulfur - A primary element of proteins and contributes to the green color
The ten micronutrients are (iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, boron, chlorine, copper, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen) and are needed in lesser amounts for trees and shrubs to be healthy. The most effective way to determine soil nutrients is by taking a sample of the soil. Extension services do soil testing at reasonable rates.
