I wish I hadn't fertilised my field maples.
They all have massive extensions and long internodes.As Tom says, for trees in refinement, especially maples and pines the standard advice is not to fertilise until a bit later in the year.

does anyone not feed their trees or leave root bound to get smaller leaves and short internodes? |

I don't fertilise maples until the first set of leaves have hardened off. Same for pines that are in the refinement stage. |

I am not feeding yet either, and even so most of my trees are running mad with long internodes. I have almost only deciduous trees. |

I feed every thing, and I allow every thing to get pot bound. |

I used to have four different approaches: just water, water and three different chemical fertilizer, depending on the species/time of the year/purpose. This year, I am taking an easier approach: feed strongly in Spring, mildly in the summer and maybe a fruit tree specific feed near autumn. |
