Hello Everyone,
Just wondered what fertiliser you use for your trees?

I use anything I have, organic or synthetic. I don't worry about it too much anymore.

I use Naruko slow release, Fish Emulsion as a tonic and also use Liquid seaweed extracts. but i alternate from one to the other ;-)

I apply Tomorite regularly (I am a follower of Stymie), with an occasional
feast of seaweed or green dream. My trees are still alive!

Several of my club members have big water tanks that they use to water the trees, they buy the cheapest they can get and chuck a whole box in every so often.

Then they water with feed every day when water is needed, but of course the feed is watered down more than the regular dose.

The results are amazing and the trees certainly like it.

So if you feed, do it more often but a weaker mix

I use miracle grow for growing branches and trunks, and grow more granules on top of soil of everything else. I've tried organics but my Mrs won't put up with the smell and the cats/birds won't leave the trees alone

I used Green Dream last year and saw a marked improvement (could have been time spent looking after trees!!)
I also use biogold pushed in round the edge of the pot

I bought some Chicken manure pellets to try yesterday, In 2019 and 2020 I used Biogold, One of my trees that always looked sickly went to luxuriant growth in around four months!!

This was the Chamaecyparis on 1/4/19 when I put just four pieces in baskets!

Very nice!

I use diluted balanced liquid fert every 2 or 3 weeks or so in Spring and Autumn and about monthly from mid june to mid sept. I occasionally use organic but between the smell and the birds it's too much hastle. Like Sizzla said.

I use mostly green dream (about once a month) and a fortnightly organic liquid on top.
