Holly Tone® by Espoma


Holly-tone® is a fertilzer designed to feed plants that prefer to live in acidic soils.

Holly-tone contains a complex blend of the finest natural ingredients available. These ingredients break down gradually providing a safe, long-lasting feeding of all 15 essential nutrients.

Holly-tone also contains kelp, vitamins, minerals, and plant growth hormones that promote plant growth and improve resistance to stress.

Use Holly-tone on the following plants:
Azaleas, Dogwoods, Rhododendron, Ferns, Hemlock, Holly, Hydrangea, Juniper, Arborvitae, Magnolia, Japanese Andromeda, Pachysandra, Phlox and many other evergreens.



One pound of Holly-tone equals approx. 3 cupfuls

Feeding Acid Loving Plants With Holly-tone
Established acid-loving plants should be fed twice yearly, spring and late fall. Sprinkle Holy-Tone around like adding salt and pepper to food. If the area to be fed is mulched it is preferable to remove the mulch, feed, and then restore the mulch on top of the application of plant food. If this is not possible, double all recommended feeding rates.

In The Spring
Trees such as hollies, hemlocks and juniper:
1 lb. of Holly-Tone per inch of trunk diameter. Triple the quantity for diameters 3 inches and over.

For Shrubs such as hollies, azaleas, and rhododendron:
1 cupful of Holly-Tone per foot of branch spread. Double the quantity if branch spread is 3 feet or larger.

In The Fall
The plants should be given a light feeding in the late fall. Use the quantities recommended for spring.
