Feeding
For proper growth, trees should be fed twice yearly:
Early Spring - Before growth starts.
Fall - After leaves drop, but before ground freezes.
Small Trees can be fed by sprinkling Tree-tone around like adding salt and pepper to food on ground over area equal to root spread. This can be estimated as the area under and slightly beyond the branch spread.
Large Trees are best fed by placing the plant food under ground near the root system. This puts it closer to where it is needed and prevents the roots from working their way to the surface in search of food. Make a series of holes under the branch spread starting 1/3 of the distance out from the trunk and extending a like distance beyond the branch line. Holes should be 2 to 3 inches in diameter, 2 to 3 feet apart, and 12 to 18 inches deep. They can be made with an iron bar or, more preferably, with an auger. Divide Tree-tone evenly among the holes, fill remainder of hole with soil and water thoroughly.
Quantities:
The amount of Tree-tone required is determined by the caliper or diameter of the trunk. On medium and large trees this should be measured at a point 4 feet above the ground.
