The key to proper fertilization is a balance of nutrients. Make sure you don't give them too much nitrogen or too little Phosphorous & Potassium. These nutrients are essential to having a healthy fruit tree.
You should fertilize trees either in the fall or the winter. Half water insoluble fertilizers and half water soluble fertilizers are ideal for fruit trees; slow release fertilizers can be used as a replacement for half water insoluble fertilizers as well.
It is better to fertilize your fruit trees before flowering begins. For this, we want to select a specific fertilizer. This will allow it to perform at their best.
In spring promote blooming by lightly applying low nitrogen fertilizer 10-10-10 or 10-15-25 under dripline of tree. Add mulch to reduce moisture stress.
