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

Re: Sudden Impact...
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

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

Re: Sudden Impact...
Generally for trees being grown on, but the same for trees in Bonsai pots, just reduce the amount of Sudden Impact on the surface.Ces wrote:Hey Ken,kcpoole wrote:
