Feeding
Your Citrus Tree
Global
Orange Groves UK is a specialist Citrus Tree Nursery and in
the course of the year we speak to many thousands of people
who have bought citrus trees and find after 6 months that
the trees deteriorate and they don't know why.
The
problems they encounter are yellowing leaves, leaf loss in
winter, lack of blossom in the spring or fruit drop. These
problems can easily be rectified with correct feeding and
care.
The
traditional theory regarding the feeding of citrus trees:
high potash food given during the summer, little or no feeding
in the winter and the use of slow release fertilisers: have
proved to be incorrect for fruit bearing, container
grown citrus trees.
Global
Orange Groves UK have discussed with the Spanish Citrus Producers
the specific requirements of citrus trees, particularly fruit
bearing container grown citrus trees and we are able to
offer citrus fertilisers for both summer and winter. A change
of NPK is necessary as the trees are active for 12 months
of the year. Fruit should be developing from spring to autumn
and ripening over autumn and winter. If the tree is not sustained
in the winter, it is unlikely to produce blossom in the spring,
and if it does produce blossom, the tree will not be strong
enough to hold the fruit.
Our
fertilisers are packed in re-sealable containers which will
help to maintain the freshness of the citrus fertiliser. They
are obtainable from many garden centres and nurseries, or
direct from us.
