Can Osmocote Be Used With Fruit Trees
I Purchased Osmocote Smart release Plant food ( 14-14-14 Flower & Vegetable ) at the suggestion of nursery Rep.
But this Plant food I am using for fruit trees ( Sapodilla and Sugar Apple ) to
use this is suggested by nursery Rep. but container of the fertilizer does not say it can be used for Fruit trees. Please suggest
Also container instruction says 3 TBS. 4 sq. ft every 4 Months Please Suggest
These trees planted in the ground and I water once a week Please Suggest

Osmocote Flower & Vegetable Plant Food (14-14-14) is a good and safe choice to feed fruit trees. As a general rule, apply 3 tablespoons per 2 ft. of branch spread. Keep growing!
