Fertilizing Ornamentals Boosts Disease Resistance and Recovery
County Agent Don Cowan advises proper fertilization to harden ornamentals against disease and speed recovery from insect attacks. For beginners, a standard mix like 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 is suggested, with broadcasting by hand first and watering to prevent foliar burn. Deep-rooted trees benefit from holes bored in soil using fertilizer amounts based on trunk diameter, while shrubs require 2 to 4 pounds per 100 square feet for small evergreens and up to 15 pounds per shrub for large specimens. Local nurserymen or the county agent can provide further guidance.
