......holidays to help you fertilize

Mature citrus trees need three applications of fertilizer spread throughout the year. Fertilizer should be applied in winter...... late spring..... and late summer. An easy way to remember when it's time to fertilize citrus trees is by the holidays ....Valentine's Day..... Memorial Day....... and Labor Day.

Citrus trees need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are called macronutrients. They are often referred to as NPK. Of these macronutrients, nitrogen is the most important for a healthy tree and a good citrus crop.
