For New Fruit Trees:
Apply 2–3 pounds per 100 sq. ft., mixing the fertilizer into the top 6 inches of soil before planting.
For Established Fruit Trees:
Use 1–2 pounds per 100 sq. ft., broadcasting around the base of the tree in early spring before new growth begins. Water thoroughly after application.
For Side Dressing:
Apply 1 tablespoon per tree during flowering and fruiting stages to encourage healthier fruit development.
For Container Fruit Trees:
Mix 1 teaspoon per gallon of soil at planting, and reapply every 4–6 weeks throughout the growing season.
