While the 'P' number in fertilizer is well recognized for promoting blooms in flowering species and usually sold as such, it is also the 'key' nutrient used by plants to promote root development...This is sometimes a good thing and sometimes not...If one uses this to an advantage for root development it can be a very useful tool regardless of species...The important thing is to learn to recognize the 'needs' of your trees and your goal for the tree...
