Finally saw the difference from a deep root feeding after 3 years

I got a call last spring from a homeowner in Denver who thought her oak was dying. Leaves were sparse and small compared to the neighbor's tree. I did a deep root feeding with a slow release fertilizer around the drip line. Came back this fall to prune it and the canopy had filled in completely. She said the leaves were almost twice as big this year. Has anyone else seen a big change after a single feeding like that?

Ha! Must be nice to have that kind of magic touch. I tried deep root feeding once and my tree just gave me a handful of extra yellow leaves. Guess I need to hire a pro.

magic touch" lol @stellablack I've killed more plants than I've kept alive so I'm pretty sure it's just luck at this point. My green thumb is more like a brown one.
