Hello all, im wondering if it is ok to use seaweed on dormant figs (soon to be awake) and other fruits or should I just wait? And would it even benefit feeding them just before breaking dormancy?
Thanks yinz guys

Soon as i thought they were going to brake bud i hit mine with fertilizer and lim3 and they are doing better then any other year my verte is full of breba and dark green leaves. First time using on fertilizer
pn fig tree because i heard hurts the crop. I will post pics. Richie from louisiana

Seaweed Extract is a plant hormone (aka plant growth regulator) product. The active ingredient is gibberellic acid. If you look at the "Guaranteed Analysis" on the product label, you'll see that very few -- if any -- of the advertised minerals on the label are present. This is because they are not in a form that is available for plant uptake, nor will any soil process break them down into a form usable by plants.

Gibberellic acid and the essential plant oils that contain it do break down relatively quickly in soils because they are utilized by many soil organisms and also react with soil chemistry. Consequently, I see no benefit to supplying it to plants in dormant stage.

This is only been in leaf a short time. Best its every looked. I think its adding fertilizer while only having a few green buds.

I added lime because of the ph level benifits & it helps the fig in uptake of nutrients and i used vitamino.

Wow beautiful tree! What kind of fertilizer did you use! I put lime on mind too, along with a few inches of rich compost!
