Young Trees. Irrigate slowly so moisture can penetrate the soil rather than running off. With a smaller specimen or newly planted tree, use an irrigation bag (a large plastic bag with holes in the ...
The primary nutrients plants need are nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K)— that’s the N-P-K you see on most fertilizer bags (Here's how to understand fertilizer numbers and letters).
If you have established trees or shrubs that need to find new homes, this is the only time of the year you should dig and relocate them. Practice your best patience as you strive to hold the ...
Mulberry trees thrive with little to no fertilizer. Fertilizing more than twice a year should be avoided and fertilizing later than July may lead to freeze damage. [citation needed] An NPK value of 10-10-10 is targeted and depending on the available nutrients in the soil, other nutrients like iron should be added. [24]
It is widely stated that careful attention to pruning and training young trees improves their later productivity and longevity, and that good pruning and training can also prevent later injury from weak crotches or forks (where a tree trunk splits into two or more branches) that break from the weight of fruit, snow, or ice on the branches.
Unlike outdoor plants, indoor plants are entirely dependent on us for their care and they need to be fertilized and watered regularly during the growing season. But when winter arrives and the ...
Nitrogen and potassium are also needed in substantial amounts. For this reason these three elements are always identified on a commercial fertilizer analysis. For example, a 10-10-15 fertilizer has 10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent available phosphorus (P 2 O 5) and 15 percent water-soluble potassium (K 2 O). Sulfur is the fourth element that may ...
