Ravin R10 man Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees Ive done apple trees with great results..be sure you put the fertilyzer out around the drip line away (circumferance of the canopy), from the base of the tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees It's been years since I did it. Like Oneida said you do it around the drip line. I honestly didn't notice any difference after doing it for 3 years in a row so I quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees Have never fertilized any oak trees here, but do fertilize the trees I planted in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees When I hunted areas that had oaks, I'd pick out 2 or 3 trees around my stand sites and drive some of those tree spikes into the ground each Spring. Cheap and easy way to attract more deer. Now I hunt in the desert where there's not an oak within 50 miles. Hum, I wonder what would happen if I fertizied the mesquites and prickly pears?

Tominator Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees Just read an article Sunday that said to fertilize trees and shrubs effectively, you need to get the fertilizer in liquid form to the roots which requires boring holes and inserting a slurry of fert.

LETMGROW Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Re: fertilizing trees I have a large crab apple tree in my backyard which I have fertilized around the canopy the last couple years. I have seen a marked increase in apple production to the point I have had to prune the tree. The branches get so heavily laden with apples I am afraid the tree is going to break. The fertilizer also helps the grass grow under it also. We have to mow under the darn thing at least twice a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
