Schultz 018064 Spf48220 Nursery Plus Slow-Release Plant Food, 12-6-6, 3.5 Lbs

I planted 32 arborvitae last spring and all 32 of them died. Replanted all of them last October and used this stuff in early March when everything started to turn green. All the trees look very healthy and green and most of them have grown about 8” or more since March. This stuff seems to work very well.

I have a hedge on one side of house that looked thin and unhealthy, been using this fertilizer for a three years now the hedge is full and thick.

My tree guy said I should buy this and apply a handful around the base of my trees in spring. Wow does it make trees grow fast. I have a young white oak that has grown 2 feet so far this year, and they are not known for growing fast. Buy this if you want healthy, fast growing trees.

This stuff is great for shrubs, plants and around trees. Makes them healthy and the the leaves are shiny and beautiful. I have used Shultz Nursey Special many times over the years. It has always worked great for me. Bama Lady

I bought this based on previous reviews I had read, as I was wanting something for my shrubs. What a difference! I wasn't expecting this much of a boost to their growth and flowering, but it's happening. I have a gardenia that's growing in the tree line, so it's a bit leggy as it doesn't get full sun. Last year it had quite a few blooms on it, but now it's blooming so much the branches are bowing. Has big fat bud heads waiting to bloom. In fact, it's hard to walk by as the fragrance from it is so strong, reminds me of the old days of walking past the perfume section at Macy's and feeling overwhelmed by the odors. While I can't guarantee it'll do this for every blooming shrub, I can attest to the fact that my non-blooming shrubs are putting on better growth than when I gave them Osmicote. Granted I didn't dig in the Osmicote into the surrounding top few inches of soil as it says to do (not able to, given my back issues), so it may have worked better if I had done that. Will definitely keep this on hand, feeding every 3 months (it says more often when soil temps get higher than in the high 70's, I believe). I bought a soil thermometer to do a quick test of the soil temp. at about 3 inches below, as it's always different than at the ground level of soil. Hopefully this company stays in business and doesn't change anything to this formulation. Have bought a second bag to make sure I have it on hand. Definitely recommend!

Explain how to. Use for small square footage. Just per 100 square feet.

Our local seed and feed stores, as well as Big Box ones don’t normally stock this fertilizer formulation. Easy ordering and delivery and fast delivery make it a must for certain plants in my yard. I will be ordering more.

Really helped with the re-transplant of irises.
