- For Berries & Trees
Fruit and Berry Fertilizer by HyR BRIX is a granular, slow-release feed designed to provide consistent nutrition to fruiting plants with just one application. The 6-8-9 formula includes significant calcium and sulfur, plus micro-nutrients and minerals to support healthier growth and better fruit development over the season. It supports a wide range of crops, including berries, fruit trees, and vines, so you can use one product across the entire edible landscape. Our recommendation is to apply it out at the drip line, not right at the trunk or crown, since that’s where feeder roots do most of their work.
This is the big-bag option for larger gardens and home orchards. One 45-pound bag covers about 1,250 square feet (or roughly 10 pounds per 100-foot row), and it’s intended to be a single application that feeds all season long. For trees, the guidance is one cup per inch of trunk diameter, spread across the width of the canopy. Late fall application (after dormancy) can be especially useful for supporting spring bud break without encouraging late soft growth.

Product Tips
- Apply at the drip line for trees and shrubs, then water in so nutrients move into the root zone.
- For trees, use 1 cup per inch of trunk diameter and spread it across the canopy width.
- For best fall timing, apply after plants go dormant to avoid pushing late growth.
- Keep fertilizer off stems, crowns, and foliage; work it into soil lightly when possible.
- Use it on berries and vines in early spring as well if fall feeding isn’t part of your routine.
