Description
Here at Utopia Trees we use the best fertilizers to ensure safe and fast growing. We have tried a number of fertilizers which is why we narrowed it down to 3.
16 - 9 -12 Is a slow release fertilizer that can last up 6-9 months. It does not burn trees because of the slow release feature which makes its much safer choice for those who are new to gardening and are scared of burning their tree. Not only is it safer it lasts longer as well which makes it great for those with a busy schedule, just apply it once and you will not have to worry about fertilizing for a solid 6 months.

Features
We have tried these fertilizers on everything. From fruit trees to grass. Rest assured that these fertilizers will work wonders on your trees. These are the fertilizers we use at our growing grounds.
Fertilizers come in 3 numbers so you know what makes up that fertilizer and you can choose which one best suits your situation.
Nitrogen-Phosphorus-potassium
Nitrogen is great for plant growth.
Phosphorus is more for root growth and invigorates the tree to flower and fruit which is something we all love.
Potassium is for the trees vigor and robustness
Yes animal manure from cows and chicken or goats is great but, using it on smaller trees can burn your trees as we have had customers try animal manure and it kills their tree. Animal manure is safer to use on more mature trees. Young trees can easily get burnt from the manures heat and excessive nutrients.
