10-2-8

"The organic orchard formula. 10% nitrogen sustains the healthy leaf canopy that powers photosynthesis and fruit development, while 8% potassium from langbeinite drives the sugar content, red coloring, firmness, and post-harvest storage that define premium organic fruit."

10% Nitrogen for Canopy Health

Fruit trees need a dense, healthy leaf canopy for photosynthesis — the engine that sizes and sweetens fruit. 10% organic N sustains strong canopy growth without synthetic push.

🔋

8% Potassium for Premium Fruit

Potassium drives Brix (sugar content), red skin color, flesh firmness, and cold-storage longevity. The difference between grocery-store fruit and farm-stand quality.

📏

Per-Tree Trunk Diameter Dosing

½–1 lb per inch of trunk diameter, broadcast under the drip line. Simple measurement-based application that scales precisely to tree size and age.

Slow-Release Through Fruit Season

Animal protein releases nitrogen through microbial activity over weeks — feeding steadily from bud break through fruit sizing without the burn risk of synthetic N.

🧪

Sulfur, Calcium & Iron

Secondary nutrients from langbeinite and natural sources support chlorophyll, cell structure, and enzyme activity. Complete tree nutrition beyond just NPK.

📦

5–10 Trees Per Bag

One 5 lb bag feeds 5–10 medium fruit trees depending on trunk diameter. Backyard orchardists need just one or two bags per season.

All Fruit Tree Species

Apple, pear, peach, cherry, plum, apricot, nectarine, fig, persimmon — every deciduous fruit tree benefits from the high-N, high-K organic profile.
