Sudden Impact...

Post by Qitianlong »

Hi all, not sure if this has been answered below in other posts...
On the weekend exhibition at Ray's in Sydney we were told about 'Sudden Impact for Roses' being a great feed for our trees. I've just got my hands on some... are there any trees that I should NOT use it on?
Thanks in advance,
Teja

Hi Teja
That will be me :-), and I have no trees that have had an issue with it at all.
I just provide differing amounts on the more sensitive trees
Azalaes, Banksia, Eucalypts and most other natives, get about 1/2 the amount I put on Pines, junipers, Figs Callistimon

On a 10" pot in will apply a small handful to each one every 6 weeks.

Trees recently repotted do not get fertilised for 4-6 weeks and then only 1/2 strenght

Hey Ken,

Is this grow on concentrations or is this for trees that you are maintaining?

Generally for trees being grown on, but the same for trees in Bonsai pots, just reduce the amount of Sudden Impact on the surface.
