ferti-lome Fruit, Citrus & Pecan Tree Food 19-10-5 20 lb — granular fertilizer with zinc for growth and pecan rosette control

Ferti-lome Fruit, Citrus & Pecan Tree Food 19-10-5 is a balanced granular fertilizer formulated to feed fruit, citrus and pecan trees with essential nutrients plus zinc for pecan rosette control.

This 20-pound bag contains a 19-10-5 N-P-K formula tailored for mature and young fruiting trees, with extra zinc included to help manage pecan rosette. Designed for twice-yearly applications, the product supplies nitrogen for growth, phosphorus for root and bloom development, and potassium for overall vigor. The granular form spreads easily under the canopy and releases nutrients that are accessible to tree roots according to label directions.

How do I apply this tree food to get the best results?

Apply this granular fertilizer around the drip line of the tree and water thoroughly so nutrients move into the root zone. Feed trees twice a year—typically early spring and late summer or early fall—following rates on the product label that vary by species and trunk diameter.

• Broadcast granules evenly beneath the canopy, avoiding direct contact with the trunk.
• Follow the label’s recommended pounds per tree based on size or age.
• Water after application to dissolve granules and carry nutrients to roots.
• Wear gloves and keep fertilizer away from children and pets until incorporated into soil.

Will this work for my pecan, citrus, or stone fruit trees?

Yes — the formulation is intended for a wide range of fruit-bearing and nut trees. The 19-10-5 ratio supports leaf and shoot growth, flowering and fruit set across most fruit, citrus, and pecan varieties, while added zinc helps address pecan rosette issues when used as directed.

• Suitable for citrus trees like oranges, lemons, and limes.
• Appropriate for stone and pome fruits such as peaches, apples, and plums.
• Contains zinc to help manage pecan rosette when label instructions are followed.
• Works for both young establishing trees and established specimen trees with adjusted rates.

How often should I reapply and what precautions should I take?

Apply twice yearly for routine maintenance: once in early spring and again in late summer or early fall. Adjust frequency only based on soil test results or professional advice; overfertilizing can stress trees and cause nutrient imbalance.

• Do not exceed the label’s recommended application rates.
• Perform soil testing if you suspect nutrient excess or deficiency.
• Avoid applying prior to heavy rain to reduce runoff risk.
• Store the bag in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Who is this for: Homeowners, small orchard managers, and commercial growers seeking a reliable, ready-to-use granular fertilizer formulated specifically for fruit, citrus and pecan trees. It fits gardeners who want a balanced feeding program with the added benefit of zinc for pecan rosette control, and who prefer scheduled twice-yearly maintenance rather than frequent liquid feedings. Always read and follow the product label for application rates and safety instructions.
