Summer Stress vs. Spring Blooms 🌸

On Long Island, August heat isn’t just tough on us, it’s one of the most stressful times of year for ornamental trees and shrubs. Prolonged warmth, sporadic rain, and high pest activity can push plants into survival mode, causing leaf scorch, early color change, or even premature leaf drop.

What many people don’t realize is that right now, many ornamentals are forming the buds that will become next year’s flowers. If plants are stressed or nutrient-deficient at this stage, next spring’s display could be diminished.

That’s why late summer is the perfect time for an organic compost tea feeding. Our compost tea delivers a gentle boost of nutrients, beneficial microbes, and organic matter that:
• Strengthens plants against heat and drought stress
• Supports healthy bud formation for next year
• Improves soil biology for long-term resilience

Think of it as giving your landscape a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink just when it needs it most, so it can reward you with vibrant color and healthy growth in the seasons ahead. 🌿✨
