🧪 How to Apply

Application Frequency

• Mid-Summer: During active fruit development

• Early Fall: Post-harvest feeding to support recovery and next season’s yield

Recommended Quantity

• Young Trees (1–3 years): ½ lb (≈ 1 cup) per inch of trunk diameter

• Mature Trees (4+ years): 1 lb (≈ 2 cups) per inch of trunk diameter
  👉 Measure trunk diameter at chest height (approx. 4.5 ft from the ground)

Steps to Apply

• Check Soil Moisture: Apply when soil is moist but not waterlogged

• Clear the Area: Remove weeds and debris from the tree base

• Spread Fertilizer: Distribute evenly around the tree’s drip line—not at the base

• Work It In: Gently rake or cultivate into the top 2–4 inches of soil

• Water Thoroughly: Helps dissolve nutrients and deliver them to the roots

🌍 Optimal Soil Conditions

• Soil pH: 5.5 – 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral for nutrient uptake)

• Soil Moisture: Keep consistently moist—never soggy

• Soil Type: Loamy soil enriched with compost is ideal

• Organic Matter: Add compost or aged manure to boost microbial health and soil structure

• Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot—consider raised beds or amending heavy soils with sand or gravel
