Question 1

What is this made out of?

Accepted Answer

This product is a concentrated mixture of many nutrients that are critical to your tree's health and production ability including the main macronutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also crucial trace minerals like zinc, iron and more.

Question 2

What makes this better than competitors' products?

Accepted Answer

Simply put, it’s all in the formula! Our unique blend of nutrients has been perfected by professional agronomists doing field tests. We could go on and on but instead of hearing our boring chemistry lesson, take a look at our reviews!

Question 3

Is it safe to apply where kids and pets will be around?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you dilute the product with water as directed, areas you apply the product to will not pose any harm to kids or pets!

Question 4

I’m a beginner, is this hard to use?

Accepted Answer

No! This is a great place to start if you’re on the beginning of your fruit tree growing journey. There's no risk it will harm your trees if you dilute it properly and it’s really easy to use.

Question 5

What is the mixing ratio?

Accepted Answer

1 teaspoon per gallon of water

Question 6

When in the growth cycle should I start applying?

Accepted Answer

Start applying when the tree exits dormancy and continue until it bears fruit. For best results, switch to a lower-nitrogen formula (like Farmer’s Secret Fruit and Bloom or similar), though it's also fine to use this throughout the growth cycle.

Question 7

How much do I apply per tree?

Accepted Answer

For trees in their first two seasons, use up to five teaspoons per week. For mature trees, use up to 10 teaspoons per week.

Question 8

How often do I apply? Does the weekly dose need to be applied in one watering?

Accepted Answer

We recommend applying weekly but that doesn't mean the full dose needs to be applied in one watering. You could do multiple waterings or if you are using an irrigation system, you might apply slowly over the course of the week.

Question 9

Can this product only be used on Fruit Trees?

Accepted Answer

Although the formula is optimized for use on fruit trees, the nutrients in the product are beneficial for just about any trees or plants you have in your garden. Neighboring plants getting some of the feed is not an issue at all.

Question 10

Is it safe to eat fruit produced from trees fed with this product?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Everything in this product is from naturally occurring substances that are already present in the soil and being used by your trees. There is nothing in the product that trees (and humans) don’t consume on an everyday basis.

Question 11

Where is it made?

Accepted Answer

All of our products are made in the USA. The majority of our blending and bottling is done in Kentucky!

Question 12

Does it expire?

Accepted Answer

Practically speaking, no. It has a shelf life of 10 years, so if you’re so inclined, feel free to order a decade’s worth today. Opening it will not impact that.

Question 13

How do I apply? Do I spray on my trees or apply to my soil?

Accepted Answer

Either one! This product works great for soil application or foliar feeding (spraying on leaves). For soil, apply along the drip line. For foliar, spray in early morning or evening to reduce evaporation. Works with irrigation systems too.

Question 14

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

It depends on a lot of factors: type of tree, climate, stage of growth cycle, etc. but we have seen some pretty amazing results literally overnight. However, usually it takes a couple applications before you really start to have noticeable results!

Question 15

What makes liquid fertilizer better than granulars?

Accepted Answer

There are pros and cons to each, however, we are a bit biased towards liquid fertilizers. Liquid feed has the advantage of being immediately available for trees to utilize. Granulars can take a long time (if ever) to be useable by trees.
