Numerous red maples in our subdivision had numerous limbs that did not have leaves this year. One neighbor was told her tree was sick, not dying and was told Osmocote Classic 3-4 month 14-14-14 would help the problem. I'm seeking expert advice before we invest money and time in the use of this product.
Osmocote Classic 3-4 Month 14-14-14 Fertilizer will not cure disease/fungus. You will need a fungicide instead. Please let us know what you are treating for and we would be happy to suggest a product. If you are not sure what you are treating for, we suggest contacting your extension office for an ID.
