Hi Lucky,

I had a question about using Urea on the pecan tree I want to graft.  I have
obtained some scion wood and plan to try to graft it early this summer.  I
bought 50lbs of Urea 48-0-0 to fertilize the tree so that it will grow more
vigorously this spring.  The tree has been very slow growing and you
suggested some N might help.  About a month ago I used about 2 cups (dry
measure) around the tree.  But it didn't rain for quite a while and the
crystals seemed to evaporate.  I'm wondering if it did any good?  Also would
it hurt to dose it again this spring.
