Yep, buds popping everywhere. Going to get very busy very quickly. Watch your wire, now is when it bites in really quickly. Love this time of year, buds popping, leaves opening, sun shinning.

Haha yeah, everything is coming alive again. Thankfully, I repotted the last couple a week ago, did most of them a month ago though

Can anyone tell me when I should start feeding deciduous trees? Is it fine to start now that the buds are popping? Or should I wait until it is in full leaf so as not to enlarge the leaf size due to fert?

Percy, I've already started feeding, but that is because all my trees are still in development, and larger leaves=more photosynthesis and faster growth. I'd probably withhold ferts if you're going for small leaves.

Thanks Truth. Mines definitely not finished either so I'll probably be doing the same as you and feeding now.
