Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about fertilizing my fruit trees this spring.
First, some background. I planted ~2 dozen apple and crabapple trees last spring (March-April) and then 10 more apples and crabs in mid-November (trees were dormant when planted).
My questions are as follows:
1) What is the earliest (month) I can fertilize (I am in North Central PA)...should I wait till I see leaves sprouting?
2) What amount of 20-20-20 should I use per tree? I also might get some soluble fertilizer and tree that method (suggested by a wildlife tree business owner).
3) Can I fertilize the trees that I just put in the ground in November or should I wait till spring 2023?
Thanks for your help!
