Hello -
I recently had 2 red maples trees planted in front of my property. They are very young saplings probably 2-3 years. They were not planted bare root. I thought it would be a good idea to stick a fertilizer spike in the ground for them, and in a week I noticed the leaves were starting to drop and were "burned". I quickly began watering it more in hopes of diluting the fertilizer and saving the trees. Is this the best course of action? How can I save these trees from dying. They have stopped growing this season now and are droping leaves, which normally doesn't happen for another few months in my area. Should I water more? Less? Will a vitamin B1 supplement help with the shock?
Thanks,
Dan
