SuperRoots
Suspended Concentrate Liquid Bio-Fertilizer for Roots.
When mixed with water as directed, SuperRoots is a ready-to-apply complex bio-fertilizer, made with fulvic acid, that provides macro and micro-nutrients, mycorrhizae, and microbes for tree and shrub liquid root treatments.

SuperRoots has been used extensively on varied Pacific Northwest landscapes, soils and environments. It has proven to correct nutrient deficiencies and provide vital biological components necessary for water and nutrient uptake. The diluted liquid delivered to the soil should be 5.5 to 6.5 pH, depending on the pH of the water used in tank mixing. This range is ideal for most trees and shrubs.
When used in a plant health care program, SuperRoots has been shown to stimulate rapid fine root development, aiding in the recovery of damaged root systems. In turn, foliage/flowers benefit from mineral/nutrient uptake, enhancing color, leading to improved photosynthesis and plant health.
Timing of treatments
SuperRoots can be applied any time soil conditions will allow. Application to frozen or drought stressed soils should be avoided. For trees, fall and winter applications will result in beneficial responses the next spring. Spring treatments may follow if trees will benefit from increased wood tissue development, e.g. when callous tissue is needed to close wounds or increased canopy density is desired. The product label has specific directions relative to the proper placement of the fertilizer in the shallow fine root zone, which is vital for maximum uptake and performance.

Every once in a while a candid comment comes along that’s worth sharing and I’ve copied one below. It’s from a prominent Northwest landscaper based in Olympia, WA. He’s been using Plant Essentials’ SuperRoots for a couple years now and he’s experimenting with root washing. He either dips or drenches roots at planting.
“…That big maple that Puget Sound Plants was giving away a few months back that was a tractor lift root ball was my first experiment with bare rooting a tree of that size. I guess it was about a 4″ caliper…I brought it home, took it to my neighbor’s house since he had a need for some big trees on his property and we washed all the dirt off, put some of your root magic juice* on it. We planted it in the summer (emphasis mine) and to be honest I don’t think my neighbor is much of a gardener so I don’t think he watered it on much of a regular basis but the tree didn’t seem to care. It grew like mad. Must have been the brown juice*.” – Jaime
