Thank you for the info. I do have both the winter and summer feeds but what I was wondering was if there was a specific Feed like BFB that I use in spring on my container grown fruit trees.

I think applying both those feeds monthly would give them enough of what they need,BFB would be adding more NPK & that would be too much I would’ve thought but I don’t grow any citrus so wait for a citrus grower for proper replies

Urine, diluted 10:1 (seriously)

Out of interest, the following survived two successive nights of -3.7C in the greenhouse, draped in 1 thickness of light horticultural fleece: willowleaf tangerine, chinotto orange, calamondin, lemon "eureka" plain and variegated, kaffir lime, seedling lemon. Only damage is, all the small green fruit on the tangerine are now avocado-coloured and (I assume) dead. Mature fruit on the tangerine and chinotto are unscathed.

NB there was a sunny day between the 2 freezes when the greenhouse warmed up considerably, a solid freeze might have had more serious results.

I don't recall experiencing temperatures of -3.7C, but I have had the citrus trees covered in snow. My citron and root stock orange are in large tubs and the lemon, lemon-lime and red grapefruit are in the ground. I have never given any of them any special treatment and they are all doing well, I just regularly water them. When I planted the grapefruit a few years ago I added some compost as I filled in the planting hole, that's it, nothing more.

I have found that I can replace the top few inches of the established trees with new compost whilst add some Growmore to the mix. I'm going to give that a try and see what happens.
