We've just moved into our home in Indiana. This is a big deal to us, since we've just retired from the Marine Corps---after 20 years of moving--it's nice to finally "plant our roots" (no pun intended) and live in one place we can really call "Home". There is an apple tree in the backyard. I don't want to ruin it! Your help is so much appreciated! My question is: When is the best time to fertilize it, winter or spring? When we were looking at the home during the fall (prior to purchasing it), we noticed that it was covered with beautiful red apples (I think they call them "Michigan Apples"), but I don't know the variety for certain. The previous owner mentioned that he fertilized the tree yearly, but he didn't say what time of year and I forgot to ask. Also, would you please recommend a good fertilizer? Thank you for your help!
