FERTILIZERS
Espoma Tree-tone - ADD TO ORDER
Option 1 of 2. An organic fertilizer that is spread evenly under the tree spread (area under the branches). Newly purchased, younger trees will need about 6 lbs per application. As the tree matures, follow the application chart on the package.
Option 2: Jobes fertilizer spikes simplify fertilizing your tree. Per the Jobe's company, "Fertilizer spikes take the mess and guesswork out of plant nutrition." How? The spikes are pre-measured and slowly release into the soil to prevent over fertilization. Additionally, spikes are applies by hammering them beneath ground level, which prevents run-off. Fun fact: Jobes tree spikes are activated by the soil's fungal and bacterial activity (VERY COOL!).
