  • what do you feed your trees?

    What do you feed your trees for growth and what do you feed them for fruit?

    I've picked up 2 bare roots from morrisons (£5 each on small rootstocks if your interested)

    I don't expect anything off them for a while but was wondering what should I give them for growth seen as they are in pots?

    Thanks guys

    P.S Decorative trees are £2 like silver birch etc

    I tend to mulch well having initially planted in rotted manure & compost with the soil. In the annual wood chip mulch is some more manure each spring. the surrounding soil is also well composted for veg growth so the romp away.

      If they're in pots I use a little BFB. When they're at the flowering stage in pots they have the same as tomatoes anything high potassium,just feed all flowers & fruits at the same time. If they're fruit trees in the ground they get planted with a bit of bonemeal & have a bit of sulphate of potash in February but they get watered a couple of times between May-August with a seaweed feed or tomato feed too.

        Mine get the occasional mulch with the chicken coop cleanings and comfrey tea during summer months.

          Mine get ash, a scattering of BFB or 6X and are mulched with 2-3inches of rotted horse manure if they are in pots or in the ground. They seem to like it.

            As with the others i use a manure mulch and BFB and potash once they are established and i allow them to fruit.
