I had trees planted for me by a good nursery-man, and he advised a feed of 10:10:20 in February, both for the trees and for shrubs.
See what other advice comes your way. |

Whatever you use, make sure to water the tree really well before you feed. Try to apply the fertiliser at the edge of the root system, to encourage good root development, If you put it near the stem, the tree will put on a flush of weak sappy growth, then stop. You want roots! |
