If you have a Diamond R in your area they sell 50 lb bag of Nutricote for a littleunder $60. I have a Daimond R in my area and usually they have the best deals
Since you have a lot of trees you are probably better off buying a 50 pound bag locally. If you do the price per pound will be quite a bit lower, and you support a local company instead of Amazon. The stuff keeps for a very long time, so it's good to buy in bigger quantities. Call around to your nursery supply stores to get lowest price.
It's just a slow release fertilizer. The "green pellets" are polymer / plastic coated balls of fertilizer. Scott's Osmocote Plus is a great product that will fill the bill. I would post the amazon link here, but every time we do that, the price goes up :-). Looks like it's current at $20 for an 8 pound bag (up from $15 just a few weeks ago).
I just moved to Florida and been buying fruit trees at places like Lowes, Home Depot, and some of the local nurseries. I notice that all of them have some green pellet fertilizer on them and would like to buy some if possible. I asked one of the garden helper at Home Depot and he said that the green pellets were in there when it was shipped to Home Depot so he didn't know.
