potassium for growth?

10 years ago

I have 2 apple trees that grow better then all the rest (putting on decent growth other trees are putting on sub-par growth ) and I'm trying to figure out why Oddly they are some of highest chill rated apples I have (they are jonathon and westfield-seek-no-further) . So far the only difference I can think of is I dump all of the ashes from the bbq grill near those two trees because their closest to it. My soil is extremely deficient in potassium at 21 ppm (optimum is 120-140 ppm) could all of the wood ashes I dump account for these trees growing? I fertilize all of my trees with a 10-10-10 every spring but could the additional potassium make such a big difference?
