Why Native Trees Need Specialised Fertiliser

NZ natives have evolved in low-nutrient environments and require specific trace elements and minerals not always found in standard garden fertilisers. That’s why choosing a product tailored for native plants is essential. Our Native Plant Fertiliser contains controlled-release components, ensuring a steady supply of nutrients without overwhelming young root systems. This results in healthier, more resilient trees that flourish in local gardens, reforestation projects, or alongside sustainably managed lawns created from Fine Fescue Lawn Seed or Tall Fescue.

Key Benefits of Using Native Plant Fertiliser

Applying the best fertiliser for NZ native trees offers several advantages:
- Promotes healthy root and stem growth
- Boosts natural disease resistance
- Improves establishment and long-term survival
This fertiliser is also gentle on root systems making it ideal for planting in forest gardens, shelterbelts, and urban reserves.

For maximum success when establishing trees, combine with professional accessories like PB12 Planter Bags (Grow Bags For Plants) and quality Plant Propagation Growing Media, helping young trees settle quickly in their new environment.

When and How to Apply Native Plant Fertiliser

For best results, apply Native Plant Fertiliser at the time of planting, mixing it evenly through the backfill soil around the root ball. Annual top-ups, especially during the growing season, will keep your native trees vibrant and healthy. For an easy, pre-measured option during planting, our Fertiliser Tablets deliver a controlled-dissolving boost right at the roots.

If you’re starting from scratch with a new native garden or eco-lawn, consider pairing your planting with New Lawn Fertiliser or Lawn Fertiliser to help your grass establish alongside your trees, whether you sow Fine Fescue Lawn Seed, Amenity Ryegrass Seed (Lawn Seed), or other premium blends.
