The Bronte Heritage Collection Controlled Release Fertiliser is designed for gardening enthusiasts and orchard owners who want to provide balanced, long-term nutrition to their fruit and ornamental trees without the guesswork of frequent applications. Its core strength lies in its temperature- and moisture-activated granule technology, which prevents nutrient leaching and ensures steady growth, though users should note that the 250g size is best suited for smaller gardens or individual tree care rather than large-scale commercial orchards.

Because it is a controlled-release product, it typically provides steady nutrition throughout the growing season, usually requiring only one or two applications depending on your climate.
This product is specifically formulated for fruit and ornamental trees; for vegetable patches, use a product tailored to short-term, fast-growing crops.
As with any fertiliser, it is recommended to keep pets and children away from the area during application and to work the granules into the soil to prevent ingestion.
The controlled-release coating significantly reduces nutrient leaching compared to standard water-soluble fertilisers, making it much more efficient in rainy climates.
Yes, but ensure you do not place the granules directly against the root ball. Apply them to the soil surrounding the root zone.
These are the empty nutrient coating shells and are a normal byproduct of the release process; they will eventually break down or can be tilled into the soil.
Ensure the fertiliser was applied near the drip line and that the soil has sufficient moisture to trigger the release mechanism.
To achieve the best results, clear away any mulch around the base of the tree to expose the soil surface. Sprinkle the recommended amount of granules evenly around the drip line—the area directly beneath the outer circumference of the tree branches—rather than directly against the trunk. Lightly rake the granules into the top 2-3cm of the soil and water the area thoroughly to initiate the release cycle. Store the remaining product in a cool, dry, and dark location to preserve the integrity of the granule coatings.
