That’s awesome. We have some maples we planted about 3 years ago too, but they’re only about 4-5 feet tall. I envy you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do have my grandma's green thumb when it comes to planting I'm just wondering if it's all the fertilizers I've been using Also during the 1st 2 years I've been feeding it insecticide to give it a chance to survive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the leaves and branches are healthy if it’s gotten that big so fast. We have to put out any poison around ours, because for whatever reason, the damn ants love those trees we have.

So if your fertilizer is increasing pH levels, then they’re are gonna jump. The pH levels in my garden were high. My tomato plants grew in some cases, 6-7ft tall. I didn’t use much fertilizer this year, because the garden has always been in the same spot. The soul is rich. By using a fertilizer that increases pH levels, you are creating some rich soil. That’s always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
