Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Acer Feed and our products

Feed your acer in early spring when new leaves begin to emerge, and again in mid-summer. Avoid feeding in late summer or autumn as this can encourage new growth that won't harden before winter.
Apply the feed around the base of the tree, spreading it evenly over the root area. Water well after application. For potted acers, follow the container size guidelines on the pack.
While specifically formulated for acers (Japanese maples), this feed can also benefit other ornamental trees and shrubs that prefer similar soil conditions and nutrient levels.
Acer Feed is specially balanced for acers, which prefer slightly acidic soil and specific nutrient ratios. It helps maintain the vibrant leaf colours and healthy growth that acers are known for.
The amount depends on the size of your acer. For small trees (under 1m), use the minimum recommended amount. For larger trees, increase accordingly. Always follow the instructions on the pack for best results.
Yes! Acer Feed works excellently for potted acers. Ensure your container has good drainage and feed regularly during the growing season. Potted acers may need more frequent feeding than those in the ground.
