When and with what? (Tree of life)

Do not fertilize Thuja Brabant too much or too little

Even if Thuja Brabant is quite fast-growing, you shouldn't overdo it with fertilizing. If the tree of life receives too many nutrients, it is just as harmful as if it is undersupplied.

If you like mineral fertilizers Coniferous fertilizer or Epsom salt, you have to pay attention to the dosage. When using organic fertilizers, however, over-fertilization is unlikely.

When is fertilization carried out?

In the first year after plants you do not need to fertilize the hedge if you have prepared the soil well beforehand. Thuyas that have been planted with root balls are also already well taken care of.

You can only give the Thuja Brabant additional fertilizer from the following year. This is best done in spring, before the tree of life sprouts.

Fertilize with Epsom salt is often recommended. But this only makes sense if the Thuja Brabant suffers from a magnesium deficiency. He shows through yellow Needles. Any suspicion should be confirmed by a soil survey before giving Epsom salts.
