Fertilizing Christmas trees is a very important part of having a successful crop.   For our tree farm which are primarily Noble Fir, Noordman Fir and Grand Fir we apply fertilizer in late March or early April.   Unless the soil sample says to do otherwise we pick up a 23-0-10+ Boron fertilizer from Valley ag in Chehalis Washington.   The Boron is to encourage more buds to be produced thus creating a fuller tree.   We sprinkle the fertilizer around the dripline of the tree at a rate of 2 ounces per foot height of tree.   It can land on the needles this time of year as they have a waxy protective coating.   The fertilizer should not be caught up in the branches that are fresh growth.   We also spread lime to keep the acidity down.
