Green Harvest Tree Paste - a tonic for your trees
Not to WA
Nourish and protect your fruit trees and vines with this Tree Paste, exclusive to Green Harvest. Save yourself the time and hassle of collecting all the ingredients, as some of them are hard-to-find. This Tree Paste is modelled on the Biodynamic Tree Paste, expounded by Rudolf Steiner and mentioned throughout the BD literature ever since.
It is a tonic for your trees as it includes fertilising ingredients, which stimulate rapid, healthy growth and will help to heal and seal any wounds. It helps build the long-term health and vitality of your fruit trees and roses.
It can be used as a remedial treatment for storm damage, to fill deep cracks and fissures, or as part of regular orchard maintenance, after pruning. Each small batch is hand-made and may include the all-natural ingredients: diatomaceous earth, potassium, sea weed, white clay, cow manure, olive oil and trace elements. One tub will cover approximately 4 trees with a diameter of 10 cm, up to 2m high. For easy application, mix 2 tablespoons of Tree Paste per tree to a slurry using BD 500, or diluted seaweed solution or rainwater. The Tree Paste can be applied to all fruit trees and vines, but only around the base of citrus.
