Osmocote®
The Original Controlled Release Plant Food™

This product helps your trees and shrubs flourish by releasing all of the vital nutrients they need, when they need them most. Especially enriched with high Iron and Magnesium to keep citrus leaves green all year, Osmocote® is particularly beneficial in the first years after transplanting, when trees and shrubs are vulnerable until they become established. Osmocote® slowly supplies essential nutrition to promote vigorous root growth and lush foliage, and develop beautiful blooms and fruit.

Osmocote® is environmentally safe and will not burn plants when used as directed. This product contains a unique soil wetting agent to help the soil hold more water.

### Directions for Use
At Planting: Mix Osmocote® Fruit, Citrus, Trees & Shrubs into the backfill soil. Fill around the roots in the planting hole with the enriched soil and water thoroughly.
Reapply Osmocote® in 6 months according to the maintenance rates.
Established Plants: Sprinkle the recommended rate of Osmocote® around the plant’s dripline. Lightly scratch into soil or cover with topsoil or mulch.
When to Apply: Suitable for application year round. For best results apply in spring when new growth appears and late summer.
