Can I kill my tree by eliminating the fertilizer?Answer: On the contrary! Double or triple the recommended fertilizer rate. Fertilize your tree often and double the recommended rate, especially during dry conditions. Recommendations for fertilization of trees vary considerably. From young trees to mature trees, the amounts vary. Foresters and horticulturists generally agree that nitrogen is the only nutrient needed in most cases. So go ahead, give your tree a quick shot of a fast-acting, complete fertilizer on August 31st.
