How to Fertilize Fruit and Citrus Trees - Foliar and Granular Fertilizing 

Lime tree I mean to say

Good luck! Keep me updated with how it goes

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog Thanks. I will. Is it possible, u give me a rough guide line for watering? My tree is in the ground. Its about 4 feet tall now with a branch span of almost 4 ft. I've been watering it every other day. Thanks for any helpful tips you can throw my way!

Priscilla Nguyen A lot of the nutrients would wash away and be wasted, the point of putting the fertilizer in the soil is it breaks down over time and slowly works it’s way into the soil

I read it can stain too. Be very careful. I'm headed to Home Depot right now to purchase this chemical. We have Yellow Leaf Chlorosis on our cirrus 🍋🍊 trees now here in Central Florida.

Hi Arash - It definitely can stain anything it touches so be careful. I chose to use chemicals because they out perform organics in terms of insect repellent and growth behavior. Whatever your preference is!

Unfortunately I have moved north to Atlanta and no longer have the citrus pots. But stay tuned for update on new bananas!

That citrus might be gone forever. This fertilizer kills trees.

Hi Khalid - no issue with fertilizing. Typically once they fruit, it is best to switch to a lower nitrogen fertilizer to help the fruits develop rather than push the tree to keep growing leaves.

I would only do the foliar feeding for the citrus. I’d wait until next spring so it doesn’t get on the fruit if you are not doing an organic. Use a granular for the apple

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog oh ok thanks you also my Washington navel orange has stopped growing could it be from the heat because it’s been 100+ everyday in California

@@californiahauler6561 What do the leaves look like? I assume its in the ground? If its in a pot, the pot might be too small. If its in the ground, and the leaves are healthy, I would assume its just stunted by hot weather and will resume when it cools down a little

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog well I have all the trees in pots 22” wide and the orange tree has it yellowish and a lot of darn green leafs and the apple trees have dark green leafs with a little brownish leafs.I have already fertilized them about like 2 to 3 weeks ago but it has been extremely hot here in California

@@californiahauler6561 I would just keep watering and wait out the head. Maybe add some now soil/manure on top to give some natural fertilizer.

Light fertilizer 1 time a month would be perfect during the summer! Check out my new videos that I am posting - I am growing honeycrisp apples!

Start with once and month and see how that goes. There are always organic options available as well if you are nervous about that

Water, fertilize, and prune! Make sure it has good drainage too

If you do not plan on watering right away, this would be a good idea to keep it from getting blown off or getting washed away with a heavy rain. Just make sure it is not touching the trunk or roots directly. If you plan to water in the fertilizer, then it does not matter above or below the mulch

Hi Fazrana - you can repeat this once a month during the growing season

Quarter gallon :). Ratio was correct though

I have started posting again - will do multiple winterizing videos this fall

Hi Arlene - you can repeat this once a month during the growing season for best results.

That may be a little low, my bag was saying two cups for my lemon tree. Yours may be a higher concentration though

Just uploaded a new one and many more to come!

Hey Matt - I had a job change end of last year and had to move from Savannah to Atlanta. Stay tuned and I will soon post new videos of bananas I am planting here and other fruits like apples and peaches.

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog oh cool. I moved to Florida and used your video to plant my own banana tree.

Yes... sorry for the long break. I got a new job and moved to atlanta. But I will be posting a new update soon with new bananas I am growing!

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog did the bananas at the old house produced that year you made that video?

@@blaynesplantvlog7117 They were just starting to flower as I moved in October. Not sure if new owner was able to keep them alive over winter or not. The ice cream bananas were about 15 feet tall

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog 😳

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog did you finger out what the mystery banana plant was?

I am not

no

Probably a good idea!
