Organic Citrus Fertilizer (4-6-4) for citrus trees and fruiting plants. Application rates, seasonal timing, and OMRI Listed organic care. Old Cobblers Farm.
Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organic Citrus Fertilizer
Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer is a 4-6-4 organic blend formulated specifically for citrus and fruiting plants. It is crafted from Elemental Sulfur, Animal Protein Meals, Vegetable Protein Meals, Natural Sulfate of Potash, Natural Nitrate of Soda, and Bone Char.
The elevated phosphorus (6%) sets this apart from the general-purpose 5-3-4 and starter 2-3-3 formulas — citrus trees require a delicate balance of nutrients to thrive and produce high-quality fruit. The formulation enhances nutrient availability without overstimulating vegetative growth, ensuring the plant's energy is focused on producing flavorful, juicy fruit. By nourishing the soil microbiome, it fosters long-term plant vitality and resilience against environmental stresses.

What Is It ?
Organic Citrus Fertilizer is a premium, balanced fertilizer specially formulated for citrus trees and other fruiting plants. Made from natural mineral and organic ingredients, it promotes strong root systems, vigorous growth, and abundant fruiting while feeding the soil's microbial life for healthier plants season after season. The phosphorus-rich 4-6-4 formula delivers a slow-release, steady supply of essential nutrients that support lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and superior fruit set without overstimulating vegetative growth.
When To Apply ?
Apply 1 pound of Organic Citrus Fertilizer per two feet of canopy diameter, spreading evenly under the drip line of the tree or plant. For best results, apply in early spring before growth begins and again in late summer to support continued health and productivity. When applying near mulch, temporarily remove mulch, apply fertilizer, and then replace mulch for optimal absorption. Water thoroughly after application.

FAQs
1.
What is the best organic fertilizer for citrus trees?
The best organic citrus fertilizer provides balanced nutrition with emphasis on nitrogen for foliage and potassium for fruit quality, along with essential micronutrients like iron, manganese, and zinc that citrus trees specifically require. An organic formula made from protein meals, bone char, sulfate of potash, and natural micronutrient sources delivers steady feeding while building soil health around the root zone. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer is specifically formulated for lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits, tangerines, and all other citrus varieties.
2.
When should I fertilize citrus trees?
Fertilize citrus trees three times per year for best results: in early spring before the spring growth flush, in early summer to support fruit development, and in early fall to sustain the tree through winter. Container citrus may need feeding every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Avoid heavy fertilization in late fall and winter for outdoor citrus in cooler climates, as it can stimulate frost-vulnerable new growth. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer provides sustained nutrition through its slow-release organic ingredients for less frequent applications.
3.
How much organic fertilizer for a lemon tree?
For established lemon trees, apply 1–2 pounds of organic citrus fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter, spread under the canopy drip line. For young trees, use ½–1 pound total. For container lemon trees, apply 2–3 tablespoons per gallon of pot size every 4–6 weeks during active growth. Always keep fertilizer several inches away from the trunk. Water deeply after application. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer is gentle enough for container citrus and effective enough for large in-ground trees.
4.
What nutrients do citrus trees need?
Citrus trees require nitrogen for leaf production and canopy density, phosphorus for root health and flower development, and potassium for fruit size, sweetness, and juice content. They also have uniquely high requirements for micronutrients — especially iron, manganese, zinc, and magnesium — deficiencies in which cause distinctive yellowing patterns, small fruit, and reduced yields. A complete citrus fertilizer with both macro and micronutrients is essential. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer delivers the full nutrient package citrus trees demand for healthy growth and quality fruit production.
5.
Can I grow citrus in containers with organic fertilizer?
Yes, container citrus thrives with organic fertilization. Dwarf varieties of lemons, limes, kumquats, and tangerines are popular container plants that respond well to organic feeding. Apply 2–3 tablespoons of organic citrus fertilizer per gallon of pot size every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. The slow-release organic ingredients reduce salt buildup that can damage citrus roots in containers. Ensure containers have excellent drainage and use a well-draining citrus potting mix. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer is ideal for container citrus on patios, balconies, and indoor growing spaces.
6.
Why are my citrus leaves turning yellow?
Yellow citrus leaves can indicate several nutrient deficiencies. Iron deficiency causes interveinal yellowing on new leaves (veins stay green). Nitrogen deficiency causes uniform yellowing of older leaves. Magnesium deficiency creates a V-shaped yellow pattern on older leaves. Zinc deficiency produces small, mottled leaves. Overwatering and root rot can also cause yellowing. A complete organic citrus fertilizer with micronutrients often corrects multiple deficiencies simultaneously. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer addresses the most common citrus nutrient deficiencies with balanced macro and micronutrient nutrition.
7
What citrus trees can I fertilize organically?
All citrus varieties respond well to organic fertilization, including lemons (Meyer, Eureka, Lisbon), limes (Persian, Key, Kaffir), oranges (Navel, Valencia, Blood), grapefruits, tangerines, mandarins, kumquats, clementines, tangelos, and citrons. Both standard and dwarf varieties benefit equally. Whether grown in the ground in warm climates or in containers in cooler regions, organic citrus fertilizer supports healthy trees and quality fruit. Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Organic Citrus Fertilizer provides comprehensive organic nutrition for the entire citrus family.
