When To Use 

  • Spring: Feed in early spring.
  • Late Fall: Apply at half the spring rate.
  • Blooming Evergreens (e.g., azaleas, rhododendrons): Feed in early spring when blooms begin to show color.
  • Berry Crops: Feed twice—early spring and late spring (45-60 days apart).

Caution: Do not apply fertilizer to frozen soils.

How Much To Use

Trees: Use 1 lb. of Holly-tone per inch of trunk diameter. For trunks 3 inches or larger, triple the amount.

Shrubs: Apply 1 cup per foot of drip line diameter. For drip lines 3 feet or larger, double the amount.

Beds

  • New Beds: Mix 10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. into the top 4-5 inches of soil.
  • Established Beds: Use 5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.

Potted Plants

  • New Plants: Mix 2 cups per cubic foot of soil (1.5 tbsp. per quart).
  • Established Plants: Sprinkle 1 tsp. per 3 inches of pot diameter around the outer edge, then water thoroughly.

How To Apply 

For Shrubs: Sprinkle the recommended amount around the drip line and water thoroughly. If mulched, remove the mulch temporarily or double the application rate on top of the mulch.

For Trees: Dig 3" wide holes, 12-18" deep and 2-3' apart, around the drip line. Divide the Holly-tone evenly among the holes, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
