Tree fertilizer

[Tn_Va_Hunter]

What's everyone use for their fruit trees And such ?

They usually recommend a balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 or 13-13-13 applied around the dripline of the tree.

I don't recall what it is but it's a time release fertilize I got from The Wildlife Group down around Montgomery, AL. I mostly just used this though for the 1st few years after planting. Now that my trees are 10 years old I really don't bother anymore. What Chapman said above agrees with what I've read for established trees.

If you go to the Wildlife Group website it will give you instructions on trimming,spraying,weed control and fert. I just fed my first year trees 2tablespoons of 10/10/10. Good luck

Composted manure, top soil (it can be the Cheap stuff) and manure tea. All of these add back to the soil what is needed while commercial fertilizers tend to damage or kill native microorganisms plants need.
