Thin out adjoining trees so the tree can get more sun & nutrients.

another thing to go along with what deertracks said is drill holes a couple foot deep in the ground along the drip edge of the tree and fill them up with fertilizer. space them 10 foot a part, if you can find an old brace with a boring bit it works great. h.h.

It's the only way to assure the fertilizer gets down to the tree roots where it belongs. Try this...... after filling the holes 3/4 full with 12-12-12, fill to the top with epsom salts, then water in with this concoction: 1 can of beer, 2 tbsp. of instant tea, 2 tbsp of liquid dish soap in warm water. I use it on ALL my trees and it does wonders. It's a little too late to do this year though, this is strictly an early spring treatment. |
