SECTION 1
FERTILIZING
A fertilization program is used to maintain trees and shrubs in a
vigorous condition and to increase their resistance to injury from
diseases and insects. But the addition of any soil nutrient is
recommended only if soil or plant foliage tests indicate a deficiency.

SECTION 2
FERTILIZING
TREES &
SHRUBS
The most commonly applied nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P)
and potassium (K).
Kind of Fertilizer to Use
A complete fertilizer, such as 16-4-8, 12-6-6 or 12-4-8, is generally
recommended, unless the soil test reveals that phosphorus and
potassium are adequate.
Two kinds of fertilizers are available: fast-release and slow-release.
Fertilizer Application Methods
Plants may be fertilized by either indirect or direct methods. With
either method, apply the fertilizer to the entire root zone area.
