But citrus food with directions about 6 inches, pretty strange.



Generally the distance out to start citrus fertilizer spread is based
on the size of the trunk, but many companies vary their advice so that
logic does not always play into it. It is all over the place in
suggestion..

I have some citrus food at home that instructs to sprinkle it at the
drip line. No info about closer in or farther out. I cannot get to the
drip line as my citrus trees are in tubs that summer outside and over
winter in my basement, but I get fruit and the trees look great.
