Biochar Tree Soil Improver

Tree Soil Improver is specifically designed to promote the health, resilience, and vitality of your trees, shrubs, and woody plants. Enriched with biochar, it delivers unmatched benefits, ensuring healthier growth and enhanced resistance to environmental stresses.

Key Benefits of Biochar for Tree Soil Health

– Improved Soil Health: Biochar in our tree soil improver boosts soil biology, enhancing the soil’s structure, and providing better aeration and drainage. It also reduces soil acidity and improves cation exchange capacity, helping your trees absorb nutrients more efficiently.

– Vigorous Growth: Whether used for new plantings or existing trees, it helps reduce transplant shock and encourages faster, more vigorous root establishment. The product works particularly well in poor soils, including clay and sandy types, where it keeps nutrients at the root level, helping plants thrive even in challenging conditions.

– Enhanced Resistance: Trials conducted at government-approved research laboratories show that our product improves natural defences against pests and diseases like ash dieback, honey fungus, and horse chestnut leaf miner. It also strengthens resistance against drought and transplant shock.

 – Environmental Resilience: Ideal for urban and roadside environments, the biochar component helps trees defend against stress and decay caused by salt exposure. It also aids in moisture retention, making it a powerful tool for water conservation.

Application Methods for Tree Soil Improver

Our Tree Soil Improver can be used in several ways:

– New Plantings: Perfect for new trees and shrubs, it reduces transplant shock and supports faster establishment. The improver can be applied to bare-root trees, root-balled plants, or in containers, following size-specific guidelines.

– Established Trees: Surface Application: The Tree Soil Improver can be applied to the soil surface and covered with mulch. This is important because the natural biology in the product is reactive to light and covering it with mulch helps protect and activate the beneficial microbes, ensuring optimal soil enrichment.

– Air Spade Application: The Tree Soil Improver can also be applied using an air spade. This method injects the product directly into the soil, decompaction while delivering the biochar deeper into the root zone. This is particularly beneficial for established trees in compacted or poor soils, as it improves soil structure, enhances root aeration, and maximises the improver’s contact with the tree roots, leading to healthier, more resilient trees​

– Urban & Roadside Trees: Helps trees in urban environments cope with the stresses of pollution, salt, and compacted soils. It revitalises the soil biology, boosting the tree’s natural defences.

– Stockholm Tree Pits:  Carbon Gold has been involved with this method since the start in 2014. At the core of the Stockholm Tree Pit method is the use of structural soil, a specially engineered growing medium designed to support both tree growth and urban infrastructure. Structural soil is a combination of stone aggregates, enriched biochar (specifically, Carbon Gold’s Biochar Tree Soil Improver), and compost.
