why and how so?
and for anyone who is very knowledgable concerning the growth of these trees, 7 out of 10 look very thin inside (these were planted last spring and have looked that way since planted) the others were added and looked very full because they had been sheared repeatedly to fill them in good and obviously were better quality. will the others catch up and blend in eventually or what would be the best thing to do in this case?
why and how so?
Thanks for your answers!
You can add root stimulator anytime the feeling moves you, but the tree has only certain root growth periods. Sorry, I don't know the times for Tsugas…usually several weeks/months before new growth begins is a safe bet.
Without more info on how they were planted, were the B&B or container, soil prep, etc it's hard to give you info. Sometimes over planting, this is planting them too deep smothers the roots so they never quite grow right and fade away.
If they came from the same source at the same time, it's generally safe to eliminate difference in nursery care, that is some came from well tended sources and others from poorly tended sources.
We assume the soil is the same and they are receiving the same care………are some closer to other trees' roots and thus fighting for their fair share of the food/water/sun?
Go ahead and add a root stimulator and if you can do so this weekend, a fertilizer. I wouldn't fertilize after July 1. Shearing might help…….but just a bit. You don't have enough foliage to really spare on these slow guys.
