Just wanting to know if it is ok to feed Jacaranda trees with Dolomite or if not what can be used
Answer:
Hi Colin, if you heavily fertilise jacarandas, they often go to growth and don’t flower. Fertilise perhaps once a year with about a half recommended dose of citrus or rose food. Go easy though. I don’t know why you would use dolomite.
