Bill, I do not profess to know what Christmas Trees require in the way of fertilizer. But I do know that my fruit trees require fertilizer be applied around the "drip line" (aka... the circular area around the tree, below the outer ends of the branches). this area (the dripline) is where the small roots of the tree take up the nutrients. The larger roots near the base of the tree do not take up nutrients... the larger roots just transfer the nutrients to the trunk from the small roots. Thus, fertilizer that is applied outside OR inside of the dripline may be partially wasted. I don't know this for a fact... But it holds to reason that if this application of fertilizer holds true for fruit trees and hardwoods... it ought to hold true for Christmas Trees. It may be something to think about. You may want to design something that would apply (incorporate) a string of fertilizer around the dripline of the trees... instead of broadcasting it! Just a suggestion!
