Update on that struggling oak in my neighbor's yard
It's been a full season since we did a deep root feed and proper mulch ring, and the canopy is finally filling back in. Anyone else had a tree take that long to show improvement after stress?

Deep root feeding saved a maple of mine, too.

Glad your tree pulled through, but deep root feeding is often a waste of money for a stressed tree. The science shows most feeder roots are in the top foot of soil, so just surface-applied fertilizer and proper watering usually does the same job. Companies push the deep injection because they can charge a premium for the service. Save your cash next time and focus on the basics.
