We've given our apple trees some liquid seaweed.

Where have you planted them? Pots or open ground?

i give mine sulphate of amonia around this time - as it incourages them to set fruit. I use sulphate of amonia alot.

Sulphate of ammonia is very high in nitrogen - this encourages leafy growth, not fruit setting.

I have given mine bonemeal and potash and a two inch mulch all around their base. They had that lot in March along with a prune.
