Sprayed with 0.25% LB urea in late January following Millet's advice causes my washington navel to produce the most bloom ever. I have this tree since 1995 and it has never given this many flowers before. Thank you Millet.What will I do if it sets a million of fruits 🤔 ? It is a semi-dwarf tree and only 5 feet tall.

The rate is .25 lbs. low biuret urea / gallon water
Postbloom foliar applications of potassium nitrate or mono-potassium phosphate at 8 lbs. K2O per acre have also been found to increase yield and fruit size.

ThanksI bought it from Fruit Grower Supply. 50lbs bag. I believe you can apply to all citrus, except kumquat, to promote extra bloom. I mixed 2 TBS per gal of water
Millet mentioned that kumquat is not considered "citrus" in one of a discussion thread. So I assume that spraying it with urea may not work. I could be wrong...
The decision that the kumquat is not a citrus was made by a MALE Homosapien. If you don't tell the kumquat tree is not a citrus it won't know and will probably respond to Urea positively.
