Jobe's Organics Fruit & Citrus Fertilizer Spikes vs Espoma Organic Citrus-Tone

Both are organic granular fertilizers for citrus, and both are rated 4.6 out of 5 by owners. Espoma Citrus-Tone is the better pick for most citrus and avocado growers: it is a large bag with a 5-6-2 formula plus calcium, and it has more than twice as many owner ratings. Jobe's Organics is the better pick for small gardens, pots and single trees, because the 4 lb bag is easy to handle and its Biozome microbes target soil health. Reviewers of both report steady green growth and no burn when applied at the label rate.

• Choose the Jobe's Organics if you have a few potted citrus or a small yard and want a light, easy-to-carry bag that feeds soil microbes as well as the plant.
• Choose the Espoma Citrus-Tone if you have several citrus or avocado trees and want one large bag with added calcium for fruit quality.
