Fertilizing Walnut Trees

Fertilize your tree in the spring with a well-balanced fertilizer. Sprinkle the fertilizer at the drip line of the tree.
The years before the tree starts to bear fruit fertilize in early summer. Use about 2 oz. of 16-16-16 fertilize once a month until the leaves fall in autumn. Double this amount in each year until the tree begins to bear fruit.
