Nue-Tree 16-12-12 NPK Tree Planting Fertiliser 25kg is an ideal solution for promoting the healthy growth and development of newly planted trees, hedges, and shrubs. With a balanced NPK ratio of 16-12-12, this fertiliser provides the essential nutrients required for strong and healthy plants during their early stages of establishment. The high nitrogen content (16%) encourages strong vegetative growth, promoting lush foliage and stems, while the balanced phosphorus (12%) and potassium (12%) support healthy root development, flowering, and overall plant resilience.

This formulation ensures that your newly planted trees and shrubs receive all the nutrients they need for optimal growth without over-encouraging top growth at the expense of root formation. The granular format of the fertiliser makes it easy to apply and ensures a steady, controlled release of nutrients over time, helping to establish young plants quickly and effectively.
