Best fertilizer for hybrid ash/poplar tree saplings?

[Graham_A_M]

Hey guys, like the title says, we planted about 20 saplings at the farm, and I want to buy a great fertilizer to make them grow as heathy and quickly as possible. Not too sure what to buy or where to get it. So if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear..... Er read them lol.

Thanks in advance for any help, leads or suggestions. Fwiw the trees were planted about two months ago.
Thanks.

0-10-10 Alaska Morbloom. Or nothing at all. Absolutely positively do not use anything with nitrogen in it. It's way too late in the season - you don't want to stimulate top growth right now.

^^ This. Too late in season.

In spring, I always use the Ross Root Feeder. Gets the right stuff past the grass line.

Water them in well in the fall. Remember, you want that water to reach deep downt to the bottom roots. When watering trees, it takes hours, ten minutes with the sprinkler does nothing.

^ interesting, They have a recess in the dirt for the water to pool, each recess holds from .5-3L, so I usually wait for that to fill before moving over to the next. The trees are so spread out , this takes at least an hour to do once a day.


Suntan, where do you get that Alaska Morboom. ? I checked Greengate, they dont carry it. anyplace else you guys would recommend?

For sure, Rona sells it. I'm positive Greengate sells it too, I was just there a month ago. But every garden centre sells it.
