Fruit tree fertilizer schedule

[StucknAz]

What kind of fertilizer do you run in your pear and apple orchards? How much are you applying? When are you applying, before spring green up? Mid season? Later?

I’ve missed fertilizer applications due to not having the help, I’d like to make this a priority from here on.
