My trees receive 8-3-9 w/ minors, foliar sprays, drenches, and even a blast of high nitrogen fertilizer in spring and mid-summer from lawn fertilizer overspray. I haven't seen a leaf burn problem yet. I do carefully measure what I use, and pay close attention to rainfall and gauge accordingly. I was going "organic" with the regimen about four years ago but it got too costly. The nutrient supply in most fully organic products is so minuscule that you would be better off just using a teaspoon of chemical fertilizer and mixing it in a gallon of water. Also, some of the organic products are pretty bad in makeup, waste products, fermented biosolids, and potentially concentrated harmful metals. The tree only "sees" the actual elements, so in theory, well diluted chemical products can provide purer forms of those elements. Its funny how the organic products boast statements like "use as much as you want, it wont hurt". I do however avoid chemical pesticides and fungicides, those are really nasty when used long term!
