If the tree is a year old, you can apply 1 lb of a balanced fertilizer, 12-12-12, under the drip line of the tree canopy of each tree. You don't want a fruit crop for the first two years or you can stunt the tree's growth, so you should remove any fruit. The first two years are important for the tree to develop strong branches.



Fruit trees can be a lot of work - lots of spraying if you want perfect fruit. Good luck.
