Now is the time of year when everything on your landscape will need the essential micro and macronutrients to help them thrive all year long! It doesn't matter what types of plants or trees you have in your landscape as palm trees, desert trees, tropical plants, fruit and citrus, shrubs, and evergreen trees all need these essential nutrients to grow healthy and strong.
With so many fertilizer options in the market, it can be overwhelming trying to find the correct one for your landscape. Fortunately, the nursery pros at Moon Valley Nurseries have eliminated the headaches and guessing game for you by developing highly specialized blends of fertilizer designed to trigger growth responses in your soil. Our pros have been growing and planting trees and shrubs across the nation for more than 40 years, meaning these custom blended fertilizers have stood the test of time while being used on our thousand acres grow yards all year long.
Using the correct fertilizer is key, and below are a handful of fertilizers that our pros recommend.
When to use: New planting, freeze/frost damage, wind/physical damage, and heat/summer stress
Our Supercharged Moon Juice was designed specifically for helping trees and plants push out new growth, even during the harsher seasons. Every bottle of Moon Juice contains Furst Liquid technologies, which include a proprietary blend of organic enzymes and amino acids to stimulate the growth signals within the plant. it increased nutrient uptake, promotes new growth, helps improve fertilizer efficiency, and it enhances the ability to ward off disease. Supercharged Moon Juice also contains the three most important micro-nutrients required by nearly every tree and plant. Iron, Manganese and Zinc is a part of Moon Juice because they are typically deficient in most warm weather soils. In addition, thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B-1) is included for it’s beneficial effects on new plantings.
When to use: New planting, stressed or yellowing palms, heat stress
Our Super Palm Juice was created to fertilizer every palm in your landscape. Palms have special nutrient requirements and the formula in our Super Palm Juice provides them with a variety of different major and micro nutrients including potash, manganese, iron, sulfur, zinc, copper, and boron. This combination of nutrients provides a well-balanced nourishment as they grow and mature. Also included in our Super Palm Juice is Furst Liquid technology, which triggers a natural response in the palm to allow it to take in more available nutrients in the soil. This reaction increases fertilizer efficiency, palm health, yield potential, and the overall quality of the palm. When used as directed, Super Palm Juice helps produce thicker, stronger trunks, while maintaining the fronds with a healthy, dark green appearance that results in lush dense crowns.
When to use: Reduce soil alkalinity, neutralize caliche or tight clay soil, make thick and fuller hedge plants, darker green leaves
Our Moon Green was created as a super easy and safe solution for yellowing trees and plants. Iron Chlorosis is a problem for many of us homeowners, and Moon Green helps reduce soil alkalinity, neutralize caliche/tight clay type soils, and promotes darker and greener leaves and grass. Infusing Moon Green with Furst liquid brings the critical organic enzymes and amino acids that help stimulate the growth signals within plants. These nutrients help stimulate root hair growth and stronger cell development, allowing water and important micro-nutrients to pass through to stems and leaves much more efficiently.
When to use: Vigorous root growth, rich green leaves, strong new growth
Our Moon Dust Fertilizer is an organic blend developed especially for tough, compact alkaline soils. Moon Dust provides vital nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. These are essential elements in a perfect horticultural ratio that will benefit all of the trees and plants in your landscape. Moon Dust helps trees and plants grow faster, stronger and flourish with less water, Citrus and fruit trees produce larger and tastier crops, Flowering shrubs have longer and more abundant bloom cycles, and makes bedding plants and ground-covers more vibrant.
When to use: Reduce effects of salt present in water and soil, encourage deeper root growth, loosen tight/heavy soil
One of the most difficult aspects of growing trees and plants is the tough, compact soil, as well as the high Ph found in our water and soil. This alkaline condition prevents major and minor nutrients from converting into compounds that are available to living plant roots, and the compact soil prevents proper drainage of water. To counteract the difficult soil, Moon Valley Nurseries has developed a Landscape Soil Conditioner that contains two special elements: Sulfur that reduces the high Ph by flushing out the excess salt buildup in the root system. The removal of the excess salt creates a soil base that converts nutrients easily. Gypsum is the other special element and it will loosen soil leading to better drainage and healthier soils. Several applications per year will make a noticeable difference.
