When feeding your plant:

• Apply Merrifield tree and shrub food to your plants in the spring through summer during the active growing season. Trees and shrubs would also enjoy a late fall application, just before the ground freezes. Each time you apply, it will feed your plants for 10 to 12 weeks.
• Apply 1 ½ cups of the plant food per 100 square feet for a bed of annuals, perennials, bulbs or flowering ground covers. We recommend always applying the fertilizer uniformly over the root zone. For those who do not know, root zones are areas on that ground that start around 6 to 12” away from the trunk and extend outwards in all directions.

Water the area thoroughly.

What do the numbers on the front of the bag (16-4-10) mean?

This number means that the lawn food contains 16% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus and 10% potassium. Our blend is regionally formulated and specific to our area of the country.

Where should I use your tree and shrub food?

We recommend using our tree and shrub food to maintain healthy foliage. Our flowering plant food is for flowers while our tree and shrub food is used for foliage. You can use this addition on plants like boxwoods, holly, oak trees and maple trees.
