Tree Food: Smart Fertiliser – The No 1 feed for amazing Eucalyptus

Timing application is important:

For optimum results; use RootGrow mycorrhizal fungi at the time of planting, followed by Alg-a-mic Seaweed Biostimulant  4 days after planting. The seaweed product works in conjunction with the young mycorrhizal fungi as they begin colonisation, ‘supercharging’ the development of your Eucalyptus root system.

A healthy root system is essential for the efficient uptake of soil-based nutrients, which is why you wait a few weeks for the roots to grow before using Smart Fertiliser. All of these products combined, and carefully timed, lead to faster establishment and a stronger, hardier plant.

For newly planted stock: Apply Eucalyptus Smart Fertiliser some 6 weeks after planting out your new tree.  Latest application date is the first week of September.

For established stock: apply from end of March/mid-April.

Thereafter apply every 10-12 weeks during the growing season of March to September for both new and established trees.

Dosage and Rate of Use:

20g per square meter every 10-12 weeks between March and September, so the food can be fully used up by the tree before the onset of Winter.  Scatter evenly over the soil surface and then lightly water in.

A newly planted small tree (3 to 30 litres) or young tree planted within the last 2 years may only require 1 square meter. Larger root balls (45+ litres) or more established trees may require a larger square meterage; we recommend 4 square meters.

A ‘square meter’ is a 1m wide by 1m long square as drawn on the ground, with the tree trunk located in the centre of the square. ‘4 square meters’ is a 2m wide by 2m long square.

As a rough guide: 20g is approximately 4 teaspoons
