Application Instructions: Step-by-Step Guide

Using our fertilizer is straightforward, but following proper application techniques and rates is key to achieving the best results.

1. Determine the Right Amount

The amount of fertilizer required depends on the age, size, and type of fruit tree:

Young Trees (1–3 years old): Apply 1 cup (about 0.5 pounds) of fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter.
Mature Trees (3+ years old): Apply 2 cups (1 pound) per inch of trunk diameter.
For container-grown fruit trees, use about ½ cup per 5 gallons of pot size.

2. Timing Your Applications

For optimal tree health and fruit production, apply the fertilizer at the following times:

Early Spring: Apply as trees come out of dormancy to promote root and shoot growth.
Mid-Summer: Reapply to sustain nutrient levels during fruiting.
Late Fall: A light application after harvest helps support roots and prepares trees for winter.

3. How to Apply

Spread Evenly Around the Base: Spread the fertilizer evenly under the canopy of the tree, focusing on the drip line (the area beneath the outermost branches).
Avoid Direct Contact with the Trunk: Keep the fertilizer at least 6 inches away from the tree trunk to prevent burning.
Incorporate into Soil: Lightly rake the fertilizer into the top 2–3 inches of soil to improve nutrient absorption.
Water Thoroughly: Water immediately after application to activate the fertilizer and help nutrients penetrate the soil.

Tips for Sustainable Fertilizing

Test Your Soil: Periodic soil testing helps ensure you’re providing the right balance of nutrients and avoiding over-fertilization.
Stick to the Schedule: Over-fertilizing can harm trees, so always follow recommended application rates and timings.
Mulch Wisely: Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and prevent nutrient runoff.
Adjust for Weather: Fertilize in the morning or evening, especially during hot weather, to minimize stress on your trees.
