Southern Ag Chelated Citrus Nutritional Spray, 16oz - 1 Pint

My citrus trees started turning completely yellow and were dropping leaves. The local agricultural extension service suggested I apply a foliar spray so I purchased this. You mix 1 TBSP to a gallon of water in a pressurized garden sprayer (purchased separately.) According to the instructions, you apply one gallon per foot of tree height plus 5 gallons (For a 20 foot tree, that's 25 gallons.) You are supposed to wet the leaves until they are dripping. Well there's no way you can apply 25 gallons in one application as the tree is soaked after one gallon. So I applied one gallon, twice a week, for several weeks with the idea that over time, I'll get to that 25 gallon mark. Plus I figured this would give the tree a chance to gradually absorb the nutrients. After a month, the trees started greening up, so it worked. I also used this on other plants that were not citrus. The instructions warn that this product stains concrete heavily but I didn't notice any stains. Also note that this is more of a "vitamin pill" than fertilizer so you still have to apply nitrogen to the soil under the tree.

This stuff was a bit costly to get in Canada. That being said it's made a noticeable difference in growth,blooms and overall health on all of my potted citrus trees. My trees love it.

I now have 7 Container citrus plants and started using this about 6 weeks ago. While they were mostly healthy at purchase, I can't help but notice all of the new growth that started on all of the plants about 3 weeks ago. I have 3 Key Limes, a Persian lime, Meyer Lemon, Eureka Lemon, and a Lakeland Limequat. They are extremely healthy looking and seem to be thriving after using this spray. Granted, I did repot them from the small retail containers they were in, but they did not seem to be stressed by this. A small bottle that will last a very long time given it's concentrated form. Really think the nutrient mix is just right for these citrus plants.

You will see a difference in your citrus trees in about 3-7 days. We use this product twice a year on our trees and the difference is very noticeable. We go from 1-2 flowers to hundreds of flowers , and eventually healthy delicious fruit very quickly. Highly recommended.
