How much to fertilize cherimoya?
« on: September 01, 2021, 05:15:44 PM »
I have three potted cherimoya, and one atemoya. They're all in 5 gallon pots, and their heights vary from 24-54". The trunks measure from about 16-36" tall and are 3/4-1" thick. I've been told by the sellers that they're all large enough to support about 1-3 fruits, and the african pride and booth already each have one fruit on them, while the white and pierce are currently beginning to flower. I've been using 5-1-1 fish emulsion, but I fear that it might not be enough now that they're fruiting, so I picked up some 10-10-10 today. Given the size of the trees and containers, how much/often should I use the 10-10-10 given the size of the trees? This is my first time with synthetic fertilizer, so forgive the newbie question.
