Hello and welcome.  :)
I am far from an expert, so hopefully some will chime in.
That said, my understanding is young trees should be given a good 8-3-9 with minors.
Once established, 0-0-50 (no nitrogen) is used to assist with fruiting.
There are other specialized fertilizers/amendments which can be used, if/when a tree shows deficiencies/signs of needing them.

There is plenty to read on this subject in previous posts, with a little research you can find answers to questions you never knew you had.

A little googling or searching the forum should tell you all you need.

If you think your tree has an issue, there’s a specific topic on which you could post pictures and ask for help.
