will this fertilizer work on evergreen trees
1434726
I guess the easy answer is yes. A 5-1-1- formula really can't hurt much of any plants. The deeper question is why use this type of fertilizer on an evergreen tree in the first place. Evergreens live in an environment that primarily have a somewhat acidic soil. They don't need a fish emulsion based fertilizer, but they do like lots of nitrogen for their tremendous growth potential. And most established evergreen trees really don't need extra fertilizer anyway, and a 5-1-1- formula won't do much, if anything. I hope that helps.

I don't see why not.. however an arborist would be a better source of info.. The only thing I would worry about is Leyland Cypress grow very fast and adding fertilizer to them may cause too fast a growth and a potential for weakness. as far as the systemic pesticide , maybe a topical or pure systemic pesticide would be better. if you're dealing with spider mites, the damage is done before you notice them.. but a good hosing with a high power nozzle yearly helps.. .

I'm sure it will work on the bonsai just use one for the pot. I just came back from a three week trip and the plants actually looked better!! There must be some type of nutrients in the hydration.

Yes. That is exactly what I used it for this Spring and through all the rain, etc. it has held the color on the brown spots and I did not have to replace the evergreen this year. In fact, everyone says how healthy the shrubs look and the one I sprayed blends right in. Even the new growth around the spots is doing well and I have had to trim the new growth.

I wouldn't see why not as these are spikes that go into the ground and slowly release fertilizer. I cant see what difference it being transferred would make. It still needs fertilizer and these have worked great for me. As I said in my review, you should place them at the edge of the foliage, not right near the truck.

This company makes plant-specific fertilizers, I would check into them first. I use this on Palms and Cactus with great results.

There are different spikes for evergreens. Evergreens need a different nutrient mix then trees and shrubs so it's best to use the evergreen spike for evergreens and tree and shrub spikes for trees and shrubs. I have quite a bit of trees, shrubs and evergreens so I've used both spikes for years and they do a great job. My trees (all types) look great!

No, you still need to utilize a citrus-oriented fertilizer in the soil. The citrus fertilizer spikes supposedly work well for larger trees although I haven't used them personally (cannot be used for potted trees.)

No clogging at all with pine needles, which was my concern. Tree pollen is different, and varied. I think it is work a shot to try a few feet for a test.

Yes, it will. It works as an immediate killer of bugs on most plants, and also as a systemic insecticide. That means the roots absorb the chemical and continue to kill insects feeding on it. It probably won't work effectively as a systemic on orchids and may take more than one application. Please also read this: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchids/msg1216493017931.html

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

Not sure about trees. It does sterilize the soil. I think it killed my honeysuckle vines

I haven't tried that. I have used it only on my outdoor shrubs and it works very well for that.

Yes, it will. It is designed to kill just about any living tree, shrub or plant. Be careful.

Yes, but it will probably take more than one session, although you will see results after the first spray. Also, it will kill what is above ground, but the root will still be viable.

No, you'll need to spray it on cedar blocks, etc. If you have cedar closets, that'll work.
