Why shouldn't I fertilize saplings that I just planted this year?  In some 
cases, these are 2-year old saplings & seedlings: persimmons, paw paws, 
hazelnuts, plums, etc.


I'm tempted to fertilize them now that we're getting a lot of rain these days 
out here.  Do I really need to wait until the spring, that they will have had 
a full year to develop a root-system by then?


Thanks,
