Sustained Feeding

Post by Daluke »

Is there any danger associated with feeding trees over a protracted period of time?

Does pumping your tree with a healthy level of nutrients and fertilisers over time have a detrimental affect on trees?

Does it keep the tree in a “perpetual” cycle of unsustainable growth which results in a deterioration of health after a lengthy period??
