I bought some very cheap fertiliser from the reject shop last summer that had a npk of something like 50/10/10
And gave it a go with some of my trees am trying to fatten and had some very interesting results most trees in the ground got a lot of good corse growth and trunks are getting fat . My figs tridents/ plums are responding especially well
This makes sense and its simple.
I just thought to mention it as I have never read of anyone doing this.

I would never use high nitrogen fert if building parts of the tree that will be used to avoid long internodes . Infact I won't be fertilising at all when growing sections of tree that matter eg. Trunk sections/ branches

Any photos of trees before and after with time frame.

No mate. but remember the post (how to develop dynamic figs quickly). We're figs are grown in large boxs and using dynamic lifter.
I reckon nothing beats the ground and high N when trying to add trunk size.

I got a port Jackson fig air layer to go from one inch to 3 inches thick in 1.5 years in the ground and really started to grow with the high N .
