Those look good but too expensive. Any citrus/avocado/fruit/nut tree food will work in place of the first one. Try a 20lb bag of gro power avo/citrus from walter andersons in san diego. You will be getting 10X more plant food for less than 2X the cost.
The nutricote is good but unless you are buying a 50lb bag you are paying too much for it. Get an 8lb bag of osmocote plus on amazon or walmart for 15-20$ instead of 2lb of nutricote for the same price.
Also you dont really need to fertilize when its cold and the plants are slowed down or dormant. I wont be fertilizing again until trees start flushing in spring. Maybe some osmocote for my potted plants but in ground trees dont need anything for a while it will just get washed out and wasted over the wet cold season.
Are your trees in the ground or in pots?
