Understanding the 7-3-3 NPK Ratio
The 7-3-3 NPK formula is specifically calibrated for the nutritional demands of citrus and avocado trees:
- 7% Nitrogen (N): Higher nitrogen drives robust vegetative growth, lush green canopy, and supports heavy fruit production
- 3% Phosphorus (P): Promotes strong root development, flowering, and fruit set
- 3% Potassium (K): Supports overall tree health, fruit quality, disease resistance, and stress tolerance
Calcium & Sulfur - Essential for Citrus & Avocado
Beyond NPK, Happy Frog® Citrus & Avocado includes calcium and sulfur - two nutrients critically important for these trees:
- Calcium: Essential for strong cell walls, prevents blossom end rot and fruit splitting, supports healthy fruit development and skin integrity
- Sulfur: Supports enzyme function, enhances flavor compounds in citrus fruit, aids in chlorophyll production, and helps maintain proper soil pH for citrus and avocado
Mycorrhizal Fungi - Enhanced Root Efficiency
Happy Frog® Citrus & Avocado includes mycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with tree roots to:
- Dramatically expand the effective root zone
- Increase root efficiency and surface area
- Enhance nutrient uptake from the surrounding soil
- Improve water absorption - especially important for drought-sensitive avocados
- Support stronger, more resilient trees through seasonal stress

How to Use Happy Frog® Citrus & Avocado Fertilizer
New Container Trees - Preparation
Use your preferred FoxFarm potting soil. Fill container with mixture and set tree at appropriate height. Tamp soil gently to secure tree and water thoroughly. Refer to the fertilizer application table below for feeding instructions.
New In-Ground Trees - Preparation
Dig a hole 2-3 times larger than the root ball. Mix 2 parts of your preferred FoxFarm soil conditioner with one part native soil. Fill hole while setting tree at correct height. Tamp soil gently to secure tree. Refer to the fertilizer application table below for feeding instructions.
Fertilizer Application Table
| Age of Tree | Rate | Frequency |
| Newly Planted Trees | 1 cup | 3x per growing season |
| Mid-Size Trees (approx. 3-6 years) | 2 cups | 3x per growing season |
| Large Trees (approx. 6+ years) | 3 cups | 3x per growing season |
Application Timing
Feed three times during the growing season at these critical stages:
- First Application: When the tree comes out of dormancy in early spring
- Second Application: At first signs of fruit development
- Third Application: Once fruit begins to change color, or 30 days before harvest
Application Method
- Container Trees: Scratch fertilizer into soil surface and water well
- In-Ground Trees: Broadcast fertilizer around the drip line (beneath the outer edge of the tree canopy) and water thoroughly

Tips for Growing Great Citrus & Avocado
- Citrus and avocado prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0) - test and adjust as needed
- Consistent watering is key - both trees are sensitive to drought and overwatering
- Container trees need more frequent fertilizing than in-ground trees
- Apply fertilizer to moist soil to prevent root burn
- Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat or drought stress
- Mulch around the drip line to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
