Most of the time You probably don't need to fertilize your trees . But a little extra food for them never hurts .When you see a beautiful tree such as this Crape myrtle then you think about how much energy it took that tree to make all of those pretty little flowers and then you can realize the benefits of fertilizing not only your grass but also your trees. Fruit trees seem to have bigger fruit when trees are fertilized on a regular basis. Flowering trees such as the one above have more flowers as a result of fertilization. I have found that Palms especially enjoy plenty of food and never seem to get enough. It also helps palms that have certain nutrient deficiencies so there are a lot of benefits to Fertilizing on a regular basis.
Let me count the ways.
There are a few ways to apply fertilizer : (1) Broadcast spreading.(2) Deep root fertilization. (3) in soluble form , (4) Organic mulch. the choice of mine is 1 and 2. the reason I prefer these two approaches is it allows you to use a slow release fertilizer which helps with the problem of fertilizer burn. the slow release fertilizer releases its nutrients very slowly so the roots don't get to much food at one time. Be careful not to over fertilize , about every 3 to 4 months is what I would prescribe , Unless you live in a drought strikened area then you might want to fertilize every six months instead. I would also like to add that it is critical to get the right kind of fertilizer for your trees . if you have any Questions about which fertilizer to buy my recommendation would be a basic slow release sulfur coated granular fertilizer that you can spread with a basic spreader , this will be good for all your trees, plants. and shrubs.
