When Wildfire Pro Shop property owners, groundskeepers, and contractors spray CitroTech on the pine needles around homes and under trees in the Sierras, they’re doing more than reducing wildfire risk. They’re feeding the trees the nutrients they need to fight drought.
CitroTech is built on tri-potassium citrate — a highly soluble form of potassium that delivers real benefits to drought-stressed trees:
- Better stomatal control. Potassium regulates the opening and closing of leaf stomata, controlling transpiration. Adequate potassium lets trees manage water efficiently and reduces drought stress and wilting.
- Stronger osmoregulation. Potassium maintains turgor pressure inside root cells, keeping roots firm, active, and better able to pull water from the soil.
- High solubility and mobility. Tri-potassium citrate dissolves easily and travels through the root zone — trees absorb it faster than other potassium sources.
- An organic acid companion. The citrate keeps nutrients soluble around the roots and prevents them from locking up in the soil.
- Chloride-free. Delivers potassium without chloride, avoiding the salt stress that hurts trees.
The result is a single chemistry that helps tree roots manage and move water, drives water to the bark, and may even help defend trees from beetle kill — the cancer of our drought-ridden forests.
