The change of season also sees a change in product demand as gardeners focus on protecting trees, plants and shrubs and adding nutrients back into the ground to prepare for spring.
Liquid feeds and composts still remain popular, but as the wintery weather takes hold, seasonal products come into their own. From Winter Wash to Tree Bands, Vitax’s top winter best-sellers include:
Vitax Winter Tree Wash
A blend of natural plant and fish oils, Vitax Winter Tree Wash removes dirt, debris and wax which insects use to secure eggs to the tree or plant.
Best applied from November through to February, it is suitable for organic gardens and can be used to control larvae and eggs laid by insects such as greenfly, whitefly and blackfly.
Vitax Tree Bands
Providing protection for fruit and ornamental trees against winter moth caterpillars, ants and other crawling insects, Vitax Tree Bands are a cost-effective barrier that can cover 10-12 average-sized fruit trees.
Pesticide free and non-hazardous, the non-drying adhesive traps pests before they can lay their eggs, protecting the trees against spring infestations.
Vitax Fruit Tree Grease
Ideally applied early autumn, Vitax Fruit Tree Grease is still a popular winter deterrent. Containing rapeseed oil, the tree grease protects against pests such as winter moth and mottled umber moth.
Q4 Rootmore
Root ball season always sees a surge in demand for Q4 Rootmore. Containing a blend of mycorrhizal fungi, seaweed and biostimulants to create healthier plants, it is ideal for root ball plants such as trees and shrubs, roses and fruit canes as it stimulates intensive root growth when the weather gets warmer.
6X Pelleted Poultry Manure
Six to eight times richer than farmyard manure, 6X Pelleted Poultry Manure is a gardener’s natural fertiliser of choice when it comes to nutrient replenishment.
Highly concentrated, only a handful of pellets are required as it feeds the soil rather than the plant. A staple product for organic gardeners.
SBK Tree Stump Killer
A glyphosate-free option, SBK Tree Stump Killer kills tree stumps at the root to prevent re-growth. Intended for use in grassland and non-crop areas, apply during autumn and winter when the sap is not rising.
