Feed your landscape with the right nutrients at the right time
General Principles
| Plant Type | Best Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit Trees | Late winter, early spring, midsummer | Focus on nitrogen early; ease up in late season |
| Flowering Shrubs | Early spring | Use balanced fertilizer |
| Citrus | Feb–Aug (3–4 feedings) | Monthly light feedings during growth season |
| Evergreen Trees | Early spring | Slow-release formulas recommended |
How to Apply Fertilizer
-
Follow product instructions—overfeeding burns roots.
-
Water deeply after feeding.
-
Incorporate compost once or twice a year to improve soil biology.
Avoid Fertilizing
-
During extreme heat
-
Before heavy rain
-
After late summer (to prevent tender new growth)
