Flowering Shrubs
(ex. roses & azaleas)

Specific rose and azalea foods

Shrubs

Evergreen formulas to tree and shrub formulas

Trees
(ex. All non-flowering trees like oaks, elms etc.)

Tree food, or any organic foods for the deep-root feeding techniques

Flowering Trees

Azalea food

Bulbs
(ex. Agapanthus, and other lilies and iris that are ready to burst)

Bulb food or a myriad of slow-release blooming plant foods

Vegetables
(ex. cucumbers)

If they are already flowering, it's time to feed weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on what you use.

Fruit Trees
(ex. Pear Tree)

Specific fruit tree foods

* If you did the first feeding in February, we are now on the second feeding approximately two months later — that's now! If you fed at the first of March, then you can wait another two weeks for the first of May.

Citrus Trees
(ex. Lemon Tree)

Specific citrus foods

*The idea is to feed them every two to three months. If you fed them at the end of February, they can be fed again.

Annuals

This can be a high-maintenance feeding bi-weekly (with water soluble foods) or every two to three months with slow-release blooming foods (which are almost always granular).

*If you're replacing winter annuals with spring color, feed them immediately upon transplanting. If you replaced them in March, they are due another feeding now or in another two weeks.

Perennials

Even though they come back on their own, they need a spring feeding. They can be fed bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly, just like annuals.
