Staghorn Sumac Over-Fertilization

[Myles O'Reilly]

I stupidly thought it a good idea to give our Staghorn Sumac tree some seaweed fertilzer during April. Not a lot, just a little. We started worrying a few weeks ago when the leaves stopped growing any bigger than the photo attached.. it also seems that there are more of them, just small and dwarf in comparison to other summers. It is also growing more flowers per branch, when it was always two, this year it seems to be trying to grow three per branch. How can I stop our precious tree from dying??

Myles, ole pal ole buddy,
I suggest you transplant your sumac concerns to the forum titled "Nursery"
This here is the cemetery.
