Our 16-ounce/453 gram bag will feed many shrubs or trees in the garden. Recommended rates will vary due the size of your plants and trees. Never spoon any fertilizer next to the stem of any plant - the concentration of fertilizer may damage it. Always spread the fertilizer around the “dip line” which means towards the edge of the plant’s stems, basically 4-6 inches away from the plants stem. There are light and heavy feeding shrubs that need different amounts of fertilizer. Always research your plant/tree to identify its appetite. Our customer service experts can easily inform you on what approximate amount is needed. Just message us, and we will guide you accordantly.

Here are recommended guidelines for application:

QT 5” equivalent size shrub – 9-12 grams per plant/tree
1 Gallon equivalent size shrub – 38-40 grams per plant/tree
3 Gallon equivalent size shrub – 124-130 grams per plant/tree
5 Gallon equivalent size shrub – 130-140 grams per plant/tree

Always keep plant fertilizers away from children and pets. If you have small children or pets, simply bury it under the soil or mulch. All plant food is harmful if ingested. It is your responsibility to take every precaution to ensure it doesn’t get in the wrong hands.
