Fertilizer recommendation

18 years ago

I purchased a Meyer lemon and a lime tree (dwarf?) from Michigan bulb a few months ago. The lemon tree has 2 fruit on it while the lime is yet to flower. Both have done extremely well compared to what they looked like when I first unpacked them.

What type of fertilizer should I be using?

Thanks,

T

You must be growing in a pot? May not be available in your area, but the Sunniland Mango/Citrus/Avocado granular is all I've ever used, with great results. I buy it from Lowe's, but is probably available elsewhere.

Dynamite Fertilizer for Citrus and Palm is excellent also. Slow release with minors and is safe for containers...Problem is not a lot of stores carry it, email the company and ask if anyone in your area sells it.

The link is below...

Home Depot had Dyanmite when I was there last week. I think they had all of their varities including the Citrus. Good product IMO.

I agree with using Sunniland Citrus fertilizer .
It is sold at Wal-Mart under the label Rite Green .
Same product made by the same company .
I have had outstanding results using this fertilizer
and the University of Florida's fertilizer schedule .
