Feeding Trees for Better 
Root Growth 
It is well known that tree roots go a 
long way in search of food, but when 
this food is searce the roots are nearer 
the surface. Light-rooted trees are more 
subject to injury or blowing over in 
heavy windstorms. To secure a good 
deep root system trees should be fed an 
ample supply of good fertilizer at the 
rate of one pound to each year of the 
tree’s age. The crowbar method is one 
of the best. Plunge it down deeply sev- 
eral places at the drip of the tree and 
fill the holes with fertilizer. Run a 
quantity of water in and cover with 
soil. After the sap has gone down in the 
fall it is a good practice to dig a fairly 
large trench about eight inches deep in 
a circle around the tree, putting in 
about four inches of well rotted manure 
and covering with soil. A good feeding 
every three or four years should be 
sufficient providing it is deep enough to 
enable the trees to get a firmer hold 
upon the earth. Well-fed trees are, in a 
way, “nailed’’ to the earth.
