Fertilizer questions for longan, almond, & pomegranate tree?
Comments (3)While air temps are between 60-80, I usually fertilize at 4 tsp in a 2-1/2 gallon watering can, which is about 1-1/2 tsp per gallon, and I see no evidence of plants having trouble keeping leaf margins & tips hydrated (no sign of fertilizer burn), or any sort of sense that the plants are being pushed too hard, so I think 1 tsp/gallon on a weekly basis is well within reason ..... if you are watering copiously so the soil is being flushed at each watering.

Comments (6)I have two pix of my wonderful on my smartphone, but no webspace to post them to. Just picture a very short thick trunk with three main branches coming out and then branching out from there to a space of about 4' wide by 10' tall. I will prune a number of times to keep the shape/size and allow a better view of the trunk after the fruit sets. It's a fair amount of ongoing work.

What is your zone? I'm in 7B, GA. Ants live in the ground and are a part of nature, I leave alone unless I can see they are a problem to what ever I am growing. If your tree has scale or aphids the ants may be contributing to their spread by moving them around. Ants are easily controlled with a boric acid bait. Al Thanks. My tree doesn't seem to have any other problems, so maybe I don't need to worry about the ants?...See Morepomegranate question?? ...
