Feeding Citrus Trees

Citrus Tree Spikes - Complete nutrient/micronutrient package for Citrus Trees

Introducing Lutz Super Citrus Spikes! 8-4-8 Spike with Fe, Mn, Mg, Cu, Zn, B and Sulfur Our Super Citrus Tablets have been on the market for years, and been hugely popular with our potted Citrus customers (see Martha Stewarts video to the right). After many customer requests over the years, from customers with larger, in-ground citrus, we decided to duplicate the nutrients of our Citrus Tablet, and now have available a Super Citrus Spike. Same material, but in spike form, which is a much easier in-ground application. The Super Citrus Spike and Tablet is the result of a request to us from Naples Fertilizer & Garden Center of Naples, FL. They wanted a tablet of the same specification as their citrus granular fertilizer, which was formulated several years ago to meet the need of Florida citrus.

How Lutz Citrus Spikes Work On Citrus Trees

• Lutz Super Citrus Spikes are for installation into the root zone area.
• When placed into the ground around the tree or shrub, the Spikes begin to dissolve, slowly lowering pH, allowing uptake of all the critical elements in the Spike.
• It takes up to twelve months for the Citrus Spikes to completely dissolve. Late Fall or early Spring applications, done annually, is recommended.
• Citrus Spikes work underground at the feeder roots to release their elements where trees get their nourishment. They cannot be washed away like surface applications.

Suggested Coverage & Placement of Spikes

Measure the diameter of tree trunk 2 feet above ground level. Use one Spike for every inch of diameter. Place Spikes into moist soil, equally spaced around the dripline, never closer than 2 feet (24 inches) from trunk.

Hammer Spikes to ground level using the plastic pounding caps. Remove cap and pound in at least two more inches. Heel the holes closed.
