How often should i use ThriveYates Fertiliser on Citrus trees?

Question

I have just brought and put Thrive Yates Fertiliser on Citrus trees and was wondering how often i should put it on my trees?

I have also been told by bunnings here in Townsville to use Dynamic lifter on my fruit trees every 4 months.

I am wondering how often i should use Dynamic Lifter?

Answer 1

Citrus are gross feeders, they like lots of regular fertilizing.

For best results use an alternating mix of natural fertilizer (Dynamic lifter) this time, chemical fertilizer (Yates) next time. Don't overfertilize you will burn them off. Just follow the directions on the packet. If citrus stop growing in your winter in Townsville, don't fertilize again till spring.

A mix of fertilizers is good because they all supply something different. I used the same fertilizers for years on my garden but last year used a 'mild' natural fertilizer. My plants went wild, obviously they were missing some minor element that this contained. A tree can only grown so much a year overfertilizing it won't get extra growth.

Answer 2

I would say money tree, but i already got a money tree in terms of business so a donut tree that produces all sorts of donuts that aren't bad for you would be heaven in a bow.

Answer 3

I feed my citrus about once a month...although I live in Sydney.
