Secret Weapon for Fall Trees

Why NutriStar Genesis is the Secret Weapon for Planting Fall Fruit Trees

Planting fruit trees in the fall is one of the smartest moves a gardener can make. Cooler temperatures reduce stress on young trees, while the soil is still warm enough to encourage root development before winter sets in. But to really set your trees up for success, you need more than just good timing—you need the right nutrition. That’s where Nelson Plant Food NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix shines.

Root Power for New Beginnings
NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix (6-1-3) is designed specifically to support plants during the stressful process of transplanting. Its balanced nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium formula gives young trees just the right push for root establishment without overwhelming them with too much top growth.
When you mix NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix into your soil (1.5 cups per cubic foot, or about 7 gallons of planting mix), you’re building a soft-landing pad for your tree’s roots—kind of like rolling out a welcome mat in its new home.

Boosting Soil Life
Fall planting isn’t just about feeding the tree—it’s about feeding the soil. NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix is packed with beneficial bacteria, endo- and ectomycorrhizal fungi, and humates. Together, these ingredients work like a soil microbiome super-team:
             - Mycorrhizal fungi extend the tree’s root system, helping it absorb water and                    nutrients more efficiently.
             - Beneficial bacteria improve nutrient availability and protect against harmful                    soil organisms.
             - Humates condition the soil, improving structure and water-holding capacity,                    which is critical for young trees facing unpredictable fall rains and dry spells.

Enzyme Encouragement
NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix doesn’t stop at roots and soil life—it also stimulates enzymatic activity in the soil. This means your fruit tree’s environment stays active, dynamic, and ready to support strong early growth and long-term health.

Simple Steps, Big Payoff
Using NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix is easy:
             - Dig a hole twice as wide as your tree’s root ball.
             - Blend Genesis thoroughly into your planting mix.
             - Place your tree in the hole, surround it with the enriched mix, and topdress                      with the appropriate ColorStar, NutriStar, or NatureStar fertilizer.
With these simple steps, you’re not just planting a tree—you’re planting it into a thriving ecosystem.

Why It Matters for Fall Fruit Trees
Fall is prime time for fruit trees to settle in, but they only get one shot at that crucial first season in the ground. With NutriStar Genesis, you’re giving them a nutrient-rich, biologically active environment that sets them up for stronger roots, healthier growth, and more fruitful harvests in the years to come. In short: NutriStar Genesis Transplant Mix = stress-free transplanting + stronger roots + healthier soil biology. It’s like sending your fruit tree to a five-star spa right when it needs it most.
