Hi All

Is it true that frequent use of a high potassium fertiliser results in a
thick trunk?

thanks

Not per se. Potassium is essential for transport of sugars and for
starch formation. Leaves need potassium in order for stomates to open
and close.
Potassium improves a plant's ability to resist disease and cold, and
helps flower formation.

Granted, a plant with sufficient NP and K will be less spindly than
one that is deficient in any macronutrient.
