Tree Fertilization Schedule for the Texas Climate
Heavy clay holds nutrients but drains poorly, so surface fertilizer often never reaches the feeder roots. Deep-root injection places nutrition where the tree can actually use it.
Feed in late winter before bud break to fuel spring growth, then again in early fall to build reserves ahead of dormancy. Skip mid-summer feeding during drought stress.
Live oaks, pecans and crape myrtles each want different nitrogen ratios. Matching the blend to the species matters more than the volume applied.
