Emerald green arbs

Post by Billybob » April 26th, 2017, 12:20 pm

It's been one year since I planted about 15 emerald greens. I made a screen, planted them 3-4' apart.

I would like to fertilize to give them a nice kick start and since they are so close together I assume they will be fighting for nutrients.

What's the best fertilizer to use at this stage?

Thanks

I used Agriform 21g 20-10-5 tablets on mine. They're a slow release tablet that's supposed to feed for 2yrs. It's like $70 for a box of 500, but a local nursery sells them individually for $0.50/ea. Here's a chart that tells you how many you need per plant based on the plant's size and growth rate. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/ ... TSHEET.pdf

I just used my Pro Plugger and went around the drip line making 6" deep holes, drop the tablets in, then cover it back up.

I've used Milo on my AV Emerald Greens since they were youngins 3 years ago & they are healthy and tall & fat.

Thanks guys......I ended up using milo. I have plenty and it's cheap. I plan on dropping some every 30 days. Like they say.....sleep, creep and leap
