For potted plants, use one teaspoon per 4" pot diameter, doubling for pots over 12". Due to frequent watering, you may need to reapply more often. Feed every 60 days from late winter to fall.

How To Use

New Plantings

  1. Choose a location with full sun and ample space for the tree's full size.
  2. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.
  3. Mix 1/3 of the removed soil with compost, peat moss, or a planting mix.
  4. Stir 1 cup of Espoma Citrus-tone into the amended soil.
  5. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole. Position the tree so the roots spread out around the mound.
  6. Back-fill with the amended soil, covering the roots with several inches of soil. Tamp gently.
  7. Ensure the soil level around the trunk is even with or slightly below the nursery or container level.
  8. Water thoroughly and monitor soil moisture.

Established Plants

  1. Apply plant food evenly around the outer edge of the tree’s branches, avoiding a 6” zone near the trunk.
  2. Mix into the soil.
  3. Water thoroughly after application.

Plant Addicts Guarantee (Included On All Plant Orders)

Plant Addicts always guarantees your plant(s) will arrive happy & healthy. However, plant(s) are being shipped through the mail & sometimes accidents happen.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
