Apple Trees Need Plant Food for Proper Growth
A note from Ohio experiment station horticulturist F. H. Ballou advises fertilizing thin upland or poor soil apple orchards. Use equal parts nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia and acid phosphate, applied early in spring as buds swell. For a 20 year tree use about 10 pounds. 3 to 5 pounds for 5 to 10 year trees. Trees with rich foliage likely need little nitrogen.
