Check your soil pH first. All the fertilizer in the world won't do much if the pH is outta whack.

Ph isnt something i thought about fixing for trees. I will add some pell lime in with the mix. Most of our trees a re close to ourfood plot so i have good idea of where where at. 5.5 ph
What I found is .2 to . 4 N for every 100 square feet.

Kabic, i agree that any inputs should be measured. I looked up dunstans and a recommended ph is between 5.0 and 7.0 so i am on the lower end.
What i found for the other trees i planted are:
American persimmon - 6.5 to 7.5
Sawtooth oak - above 5
Swamp White Oak - below 5.9
I haven't found an ideal ph for dwarf chinkapin oaks yet. If anyone knows the ideal ph please let me know.
