Citrus Trees:
Most
varieties of citrus require fertilization 3-4 times per year with
typical applications in late winter (Jan-Feb), late spring (May-June)
and early fall (Sept-Oct). Apply 1 cup per 1″ of trunk diameter around
the base outwards to the drip line, mix into soil surface and water in
well. A liquid or foliar fertilizer may be applied to mature fruit
bearing trees throughout the growing season to maximize fruit
production.
For new trees,
prepare transplant hole and mix 1 cup of Citrus Mix with the backfill
soil. Use amended soil to fill in around the new tree and water in well.
Use half the amount recommended above per application to fertilize 1-2
year old citrus trees.
Containers & Houseplants:
For
new plantings, mix 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil and mix thoroughly.
For established citrus trees, apply 2-4 tablespoons per gallon of soil
4-6 times throughout the year.
