Feeding White Pine in the Summer

Sagicap

I have acquired a 12 yr old white pine grafted to black pine. The articles I have read by experts give feeding schedules that include July and August. I am wondering if the authors of the articles are speaking of their own climates or are pines able to sustain hot weather feeding. I have other trees that are never fed during the hot months. The heat is coming-Please help me!

I keep an organic fish pellet (previously organic blend) on all my trees all year round. I feel they will take what they need, when they need it - and I can't predict the weather accurately enough to know when they will need the nutrients. I augment the organic with miracle grow at 1/2 strength every two weeks from about April 1 through about October 1 - except when it is "hot" (over about 90 degrees). Seems to work for me in my "mild" climate. Hope that helps.
