Default fertilizer for sweet gum trees

"Badri Krishnamachari" wrote in message . net...
Can anyone recommend a good fertilizer for a sweet gum tree. It needs
acidic soil....so any good acidic fertilizers should be ok.
Thanks

In the spring broadcast some 5-10-5 or some 10-10-10 under the drip
line of the tree. Don't go overboard 2-3lbs per 100 sq ft is plenty.
Feeding now would be likely to stimulate late season growth which
tends to winterkill.
