Promotes Sturdy Growth & Rich Color
Strong landscapes don’t happen by accident — they’re fed well from the ground up.
Pete’s Tree & Shrub Food is formulated to support steady, dependable growth in trees, shrubs, ground covers, and ornamental plantings. With a 14-5-5 analysis and slow-release nitrogen, this granular fertilizer encourages healthy foliage, strong structure, and deep, rich color without excessive top growth.
It’s ideal for established landscape plants and container-grown shrubs alike.

What the Numbers Mean
-
14% Nitrogen (N) – Encourages healthy foliage and steady growth

Healthy trees and shrubs are the backbone of a landscape. Regular feeding strengthens root systems, deepens foliage color, and helps plants handle heat, wind, and seasonal stress. Pete’s Tree & Shrub Food is built for long-term landscape health — not just quick growth.
