Providing nutrient ‘top-ups’ between fruit harvest and the fresh spring flush, ensures that nutrients depleted during the growing and harvesting season are replenished.
The top-ups assist the trees’ natural process of preparing for hibernation and returns much needed reserves to the plant’s roots and storage tissue, ready for next season’s growth.
Timing is critical to maximise benefits during this dormant period.
