How to Fertilize

Shrubs: Established less than one year use a liquid transplant fertilizer diluted to the directions on the packaging. Established for more than one year use a balanced fertilizer such as 15-30-15, again diluted to the directions on the packaging.

Trees: Established less than one year use a liquid transplant fertilizer diluted to the directions on the packaging. Established for more than one year use a balanced fertilizer such as 15-30-15, again diluted to the directions on the packaging.

Evergreens: Established less than one year use a liquid transplant fertilizer diluted to the directions on the packaging. Established for more than one year use a high nitrogen fertilizer such as 30-10-10, again diluted to the directions on the packaging. The exception to this is any blue spruce, use the 15-30-15 formulation as you do not want to turn your blue trees green.
