Yes. Apply one pound of epsom salts for every ten feet of branch spread and mulch with manure/compost and water thoroughly, or apply 2 tablespoons per 9 square feet. Apply over the root area/zone about 3 times annually.
Epsom salt doesn't "built up" in the soil after long periods of use like chemical fertilizers so it can't be overused.
Magnesium and sulfur are the two major components of Epsom salt.
Magnesium is critical for seed germination and the production of chlorophyll, fruit, and nuts. Magnesium helps strengthen cell walls and improves plants' uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Don't let the word "salt" scare you off. You aren't going to "salt the earth" and kill your plants. Epsom salts have looooong been used as fertilizers for various plants and trees.
