Do you ever stop fertilizing fruit trees?

Anyone use AMS instead of urea for nitrogen fertilizer? I think there is less evaporation (volatility) with AMS. But it lowers pH some.

What about using regenerative practices where plants, fungi, and bacteria release bound minerals in the soil instead of synthetic? I know there is a little of a push for this in plots, is anyone applying it to fruit trees?

I use BioVam Mycorrhiza Fungi, just in case my sandy soil doesn't have it. It's not very expensive, you only need to apply it once, and the literature makes a good point. Trees can't absorb minerals directly, they need fungi to break them down and make trace-mineral compounds which the tree can then absorb.

I haven't bought fungi yet but I do dump morel rinse water on the drip line of fruit trees, and I've been known to transfer soil from one location to another to help speed up and diversify fungi.
