Deciduous Tips - Rakuyo

Weak Trees

  • Move to shade

  • Do not over water, extend the drying period (tip the pot on one end)

  • Recommends fertilizing well, liquid

Fertilizing

  • Generally micro doses MiracleGrow (blue crystals) during watering.

  • Liquor Fertilizer (fish emulsion) weekly full fertilizer during growing season.

  • Finds organic, tea bags or Osmocoat may not be enough—unless a lot of slow release fertilizer and well distributed.

Taper

  • Chop after the trunk is at least 50% of the final desired diameter.
