Tree growth regulators (PGRs) are specialized treatments applied to the soil around trees. Instead of stimulating fast canopy growth, they slow above-ground growth slightly—allowing the tree to focus energy on root expansion, improved water uptake, and stronger internal defenses against stress.
Tree Balance enhances tree performance in multiple ways:
• Encourages deeper root growth for better water absorption.
• Improves drought and heat tolerance.
• Reduces the need for frequent corrective pruning.
• Strengthens trees recovering from environmental stress or limited root space.
This is especially effective for trees in compacted soils, near structures, or exposed to drought.
Evergreen offers two types of growth regulation:
Tree Balance – Soil-applied treatment for trees, ideal before or after pruning or construction work.
Shrub Balance – Foliar-applied version for ornamental shrubs that need a maintained size and fuller look.
Both use precise formulations to achieve natural, consistent growth without stress.
Tree Balance can be applied any time the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate—typically in spring or fall. It’s especially valuable right after pruning, construction activity, or other stress events when you want roots to recover quickly. The benefits last for up to three years per treatment.
