Should you use fertilizer for lemon trees?

Answer by  Carla78 (16)

Use a high-nitrogen based granulate fertilizer for citrus trees in the ground. Make sure ground is wet before adding fertilizer and then watered right after. Try and get it even under the leaf canopy. You should do this ever 6 to 8 weeks from February thought to August each year.

Citrus trees need a lot of nitrogen to grow. Use a fertilizer that has a 2-1-1 ratio of nitrogen to phosphorous and potassium. Granular slow-release fertilizers work very well.

Yes because you would want the tree to get enough nutriments. You want to make sure that you apply fertilizer at the proper times. Lemon trees should be fertilized no more than four times a year and should not be fertilized in the coolest season when it is not in as active growth.
