[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 772610, member: 637"] ga. prime, Did you start that one from a bare root tree or an acorn? Looks like a nice healthy tree. Plenty of room to grow too. Have you tried putting a few tree fertilizer spikes around it? I know they are not the fastest growing tree, but I do put the spikes around the trees for about three years to give them a burst of growth. Then I let them grow on their own. I figured that three years of wide rings in the tree would not make the trunk weak. The rest of the trunk will have much more smaller rings, and be hardened and tougher from the wind blowing and swaying the trunk.
