My apple trees get no treatment other than egg shells crushed and
spread at the bottom to add calcium at the soil. Honeybees love my
trees. I can't technically call them 'organic' as there's all sorts of
rules on that, but it's as close as you can get with a tree in your
yard and nothing done to it ther than add eggshells...
