Concern about their fertilizer application? You better believe. More is not nessesally better. What about 5. 1 .1 versus 1. 1. 1. If you use 1 1 1 and you live in a area with plenty of rain you might want to switch to a trf type of fertilizer like Osmocote plus, why, because solubles will fly right through and you end up with none. Strong rains will flush. 6 months kinds are better than 3. Why?, because you can always ajust if you it become nessesary to add. 3 months usely don,t last 3, with a lot of rains maybe 1 1/2.

This is something to think about. If you are a newbie, Osmocote is a good starter fertilizer especially if you don’t know Sh.... from..... Shinola. You do not want to bomb your newly, small tree withe heavy dose of strong fertilizers. Bob, take it with a grain!,,
