Fertilize tree soils now advises Farm Page Department
The Farm Page urges early spring fertilization of tree fruit soils with nitrogen chiefly as ammonium nitrate applied in a narrow band under the tree's outer branches. Apply 1/8 lb per year of tree age, adjust for vigor, with phosphorus and potash considerations, plus annual complete fertilizer and careful manure use. Leaf and soil analysis guide adjustments.
