Asking about the best fertilizer for native plants in NQ. I've read about it
but there's too many opinions and different views in the books that I've
read. Can anyone advice of the best all round fert for callistimons, silky
oaks, Lilly Pillys etc?

Thanks in advance

Some native plant growers swear by blood & bone. Others use Osmocote for
native plants, or similar slow-release products. Just don't use regular
fertiliser on your Proteaceae (banksias, waratahs), or you will kill them --
it's too high in phosphorus IIRC.
