Down to Earth Fruit Tree 6-2-4 | 5lb - OMRI Listed - (Case of 6)

Calcium-Enriched Fertilizer for Fruit Trees, Canes, and Shrubs, 5lb Case of 6

Fruit trees put a heavy demand on calcium during fruit development, more than a general-purpose fertilizer typically covers, and a shortfall there tends to show up as blossom-end issues or poor fruit set rather than an obvious leaf symptom. Down To Earth Fruit Tree 6-2-4 adds calcium on top of its core NPK specifically to support that stage across apples, pears, plums, mangos, pomegranates, figs, and fruiting canes and shrubs.

This 5lb bag, sold in a case of 6, suits home gardeners with one or two fruit trees, canes, or shrubs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Fruit Tree 6-2-4 include added calcium?

Fruit development leans on calcium more heavily than a general NPK fertilizer typically supplies, and a shortfall there tends to show up as poor fruit set or quality issues rather than an obvious leaf symptom. Layering calcium onto the 6-2-4 base is meant to head that off before fruiting stages arrive.

What fruit trees is this formula suited for?

It's labeled for apples, pears, plums, mangos, pomegranates, and figs, plus fruiting canes and shrubs of all varieties. That's a broader range than a single-species fruit tree feed typically covers.

Is Fruit Tree 6-2-4 OMRI Listed?

Yes, Fruit Tree 6-2-4 is OMRI Listed and appropriate for certified organic orchards. Confirm the listing on your package lines up with your certifier's current requirements before a full-orchard application.

How does Fruit Tree 6-2-4 differ from a general all-purpose fertilizer?

The added calcium and nitrogen-forward NPK ratio are targeted at fruiting tree and shrub needs specifically, rather than spread evenly across vegetables, herbs, and ornamentals the way an all-purpose blend would be. That focus is the main reason to reach for a fruiting-specific formula instead.
