Sure, I think one of the very best out there is Grow More Citrus & Avocado Food. Has the correct balance of NPK and also has a very large amount of humic acid. Very helpful for us here in S. California.

Container, or in the ground?

I just finished today putting fertilizer on 16,000 Meyers; growth will begin in the next 10-20 days, followed soon after by blooms. At the same time we are doing hedge pruning of the rows; so that new growth will be promoted and new fruits will appear at the sides of the rows. Of course we don't have to deal with frost; but Meyers are quite tolerant of cold down to 28 F; and most other citrus are not too far off from that.

Unless you're on clay soil that's not enough water. What type of soil do you have? I have my trees planted in ground with sandy loam soil and they get watered daily in the spring and summer. What type of fertilizer are you using? Some more details could help diagnose what might be going wrong. What are your spring and summer temps on average? Evan

Would that help my houseplant citrus (check it out here please: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/citrus/msg081451571777.html -- that's "Citrus in trouble" post on the forum). I wrote it a while ago but noone is helping for some reason... I don't know; it's frustrating. :( Every time I check it I find my unanswered questions...

Stephen Brown, Horticultural Agent of South Florida says now is the time to start fertilizing citrus. Tom MacCubbin, Horticultural Agent for Central Florida only mentions doing a pruning at this moment. 9b is technically Central Florida, but I think that zone can sometimes push South Florida growing methods. So up to you sort of. If you feel you're close enough to Zone 10, you can start your fertilizing. If you want to err on the side of caution, I would wait another month at least before starting the fertilizer regimen. And personally, with the way this winter is going, I plan on starting mine around the second week of February unless something crops up in the forecasts. (Advice sourced from this month's 'Region Reports' in Florida Gardening magazine)

Thank you!

pfckce, I meant Gro-Power. Ugh. I DO use Grow More citrus Grower's Blend for my micronutrient foliar spray/soil drench, though. And, my 56 yo, left-handed brain seems to constantly want to get these two products confused! I buy Grow More Citrus Grower's Blend from Amazon.com. I buy Gro-More Citrus & Avocado Food from Hydroscape Products in Vista, Grangetto's (all of them), Armstrong, Andersen and Green Thumb in San Marcos. Here is a link to the retail nurseries by county where you can find their products.
