Espoma Citrus-tone Citrus & Avocado Food

While specifically formulated for citrus and avocado trees, this fertilizer is safe and effective for other fruit-bearing trees. Its balanced nutrient profile supports general fruit production, though you should always check the specific needs of your tree variety.

For best results, apply Citrus-tone three times per year: once in late winter, once in late spring, and again in early summer. This schedule ensures your trees receive a consistent, slow-release supply of nutrients throughout their active growing season.

No, this is a granular fertilizer and is not water-soluble. You should apply the granules directly to the soil around the drip line of the tree and water it in thoroughly afterward to help the nutrients reach the root zone.

Bio-tone microbes are beneficial bacteria and fungi added to the fertilizer to improve soil health. They help break down organic matter, making nutrients more accessible to the tree's roots and encouraging stronger, more efficient growth.

Yes, because Citrus-tone is made from 100% natural and organic ingredients, it does not contain the harsh synthetic chemicals found in many traditional fertilizers. However, it is still best practice to keep pets and children away from the immediate application area until the granules have been watered into the soil.
