Arborvitae & Boxwood are evergreens that do not require acid soils. We recommend Plant-tone for these.
- Feed in the Spring and late Fall at half the Spring rate.
- Blooming evergreens like azaleas and rhododendron are best fed in the spring at the first hint of bloom color.
- Berry crops should be fed twice; early spring and late spring (45-60 days apart).
- Never apply fertilizer to frozen soils.
Trees:
1 lb. per inch of trunk diameter. Triple the quantity for diameters 3 inches or larger.
Shrubs:
1 cup per foot of branch spread (The diameter of the shrub from left to right side). Double the quantity if branch spread is three feet or larger.
Beds:
