ferti-lome Tree & Shrub Food granular fertilizer 19-8-10, 16 lb — balanced slow-release feed for woody plants

This 16-pound bag contains a 19-8-10 N-P-K formula formulated to supply nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium designed for general support of woody landscape plants. The granules are intended to be broadcast around the root zone so nutrients can move into the soil and be taken up by the entire plant. Because it’s a granular, spread-and-water product, it’s suitable for homeowners and landscapers who want a straightforward feeding routine without hand-feeding or drilling into the root ball.

How does this granular fertilizer feed trees and shrubs?

The granules release nutrients into the soil where feeder roots pick them up; nitrogen supports leafy growth while phosphorus and potassium help root and overall plant vigor. Spread around the drip line, the product works through natural soil moisture to distribute nutrients across the root zone.

• Broadcast application around the canopy drip line for even coverage
• Nitrogen-rich 19-8-10 ratio for balanced vegetative growth
• Granular form allows gradual nutrient availability
• No digging required—simply sprinkle and water

When and how often should I apply Ferti-lome Tree & Shrub Food?

For best results, apply this fertilizer twice a year to supply nutrients across growing seasons. Timing depends on your climate and species: typically apply in early spring and again in late summer or early fall, following label rates for plant size and type.

• Apply two times per year for routine maintenance
• Early spring supports new seasonal growth; late summer/fall replenishes reserves
• Adjust amounts according to plant age and size—see package directions
• Water after application to move the granules into the root zone

What plants is this fertilizer suitable for, and are there exceptions?

This formulation works on a broad range of woody landscape plants, including deciduous shade trees, evergreen ornamentals, citrus, and many tropical trees. Always check the label for species-specific precautions and application rates to avoid over-fertilizing sensitive or newly planted specimens.

• Appropriate for shade trees, evergreens, citrus, and tropical trees
• Not a specialty product for acid-loving plants—follow label recommendations
• Use reduced rates for young or recently transplanted trees
• Follow local regulations for fertilizer use if applicable

How do I measure and apply the correct amount around my trees?

Application rates vary by species and trunk diameter; consult the package instructions for exact measurements. A general approach is to distribute the granules evenly under the canopy from near the trunk outward to the drip line, then lightly water to incorporate the fertilizer into the soil.

• Refer to label for per-tree or per-foot-of-root-zone rates
• Evenly broadcast under the canopy and toward the drip line
• Avoid piling fertilizer at the trunk base to prevent root or bark damage
• Water after spreading to activate granules and move nutrients into soil

Who is this for: Ferti-lome Tree & Shrub Food 19-8-10 is aimed at homeowners, gardeners, and landscape professionals seeking a no-fuss, granular maintenance fertilizer for established trees and shrubs. It fits yards with a variety of woody plants where periodic, evenly distributed feeding is preferred. If you need a liquid feed, a specialty acidifier, or a product formulated for container-grown specimens, consider a product tailored to those needs.
