Q. I bought Citrus Tone fertilizer for my
citrus trees. What other fruit trees can I use this fertilizer on besides citrus
trees? My other fruit trees are as close
as 4 feet away from my dwarf orange trees. Is there a problem using this
fertilizer?
A. Citrus Tone is a citrus and avocado
fertilizer by Espoma. I looked at the ingredients on the label and it seems to
be a good fertilizer formulation for any fruit trees as well as roses and other
important flowering shrubs and trees.

This
is a mineral fertilizer and geared towards improving flower production which
results in more fruit produced. It is labeled as a citrus and avocado fertilizer
so the general public knows what to use it on but it can be used on other flowering
plants as well.

The
manufacturer is trying to capture uninformed consumers with this fertilizer and
why they give it such a specific name. Informed consumers know they can use it
on other plants as well.

The
only precaution I have for you is not to apply any nitrogen -containing fertilizers
to winter tender plants after August 1. This includes citrus in our location.
All fruit trees should be fertilized before this date anyway.
