I use a brand of fertilizer called "Rite-Green" and it is a 4-6-8 compound. I get it at Wal-Mart. It is a dry granular fertilizer made especially for citrus, mangoes, and avocados. The directions say NOT to fertilize from November through February. You do not want any growth to be starting during those months in Florida or it will damage the tree. That is the dormant stage.

I fertilize my trees about every 6 weeks beginning the 1st week of March. It really makes them grow and bear fruit.
