Young trees, as well as mature, producing orchards never outgrow their need for calcium. Specifically, root vigor, reduced fruit disorders, optimum color and size and storage quality of fruit are directly related to adequate calcium levels. With Calcium Nitrate as your orchard fertilizer, trees and soil receive 19% water-soluble calcium. As with any fertilizer application, consult your extension office or other advisory service for recommended practice that meets local crop and soil conditions.
