Down to Earth Citrus Mix 6-3-3 | 50lb - OMRI Listed

Citrus-Formulated Fertilizer with Secondary Nutrients and Micronutrients, 50lb

Citrus trees pull more from the soil across a single fruiting cycle than most home garden plants, needing primary nutrients plus a supporting cast of secondary nutrients and micronutrients to push new growth, hold foliage, set blossoms, and finish fruit. Down to Earth Citrus Mix 6-3-3 is built around that fuller nutrient profile rather than a bare NPK number, and extends beyond citrus to other fruit trees, vines, and ornamentals.

This 50lb bag is sized for larger home orchards, market gardens, or growers applying Citrus Mix as a primary fertilizer across many trees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plants is Citrus Mix 6-3-3 formulated for?

It's built primarily for citrus trees in home orchards and containers, covering lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits, and also extends to other fruit trees, fruiting vines, and ornamentals. The same primary, secondary, and micronutrient profile supports all of them.

How should Citrus Mix be applied to an in-ground tree versus a container?

For in-ground trees, broadcast evenly under the canopy and water in well; for container-grown citrus, work it into the potting medium at planting or apply as a top dressing and water thoroughly. Either way, timing applications around spring growth, bloom, and fruit set gets the most out of the feeding.

Is Citrus Mix 6-3-3 OMRI Listed?

Yes, it carries OMRI Listed status for certified organic production. Confirm the listing on your specific package size against your certifier's current requirements.

Why does citrus need more than a basic NPK fertilizer?

Citrus trees draw on secondary nutrients and micronutrients beyond the three primary macronutrients to support new growth, foliage, blossoms, and fruit finishing, which is why this blend layers those in rather than relying on N-P-K alone. A bare NPK fertilizer can leave those secondary needs unmet over a full fruiting cycle.
