Hey fellow Nuts,
With fall coming up, I am trying to get my ducks in a row when it comes to fertilization. I already have a bag of bio-gold for all of my coniferous species, but am having trouble finding a good choice for my Trident Maple. I know that using a normal 5-5-5 solid organic mix isn't the best choice because if Tridents have enough Nitrogen and a warm spell, they can push another flush of growth very late.
What do you guys use for your Trident/Japanese Maples in the Fall to prevent that far too late flush? Ideally what I would like is a solid, organic, no/low nitrogen feed. Does such a thing exist? If not, please recommend only organic water-in fertilizers. Thanks.
