How should dry fertilizers be applied?
You have three options. It can be spread with a lawn fertilizer spreader but you have to be careful not to over-fertilize any surrounding plants. Remember light applications and more often are better that one heavy application per year. The next best option is to deep root injection into the ground about 2-3 feet apart and 6-8 inches deep, on a grid system covering the area about one and a half to twice the drip edge area of the tree. Foliar applications should be applied two or three times a year for best results.
