Jobe's® Organic Bone Meal Plant Food

If your fruit tree is growing but not bearing fruit — the leaves look fine, the tree is healthy, but there’s nothing to harvest — phosphorus deficiency is one of the most common culprits. Phosphorus is the nutrient most directly responsible for flowering, fruit set, and root development, and when it’s lacking or unavailable in the soil, trees grow vegetatively but struggle to transition to productive fruiting. Jobe’s® Organic Bone Meal provides a rich, slow-release source of phosphorus and calcium from 100% organic bone meal — the same amendment fruit growers have used for generations to encourage stubborn trees to flower, set fruit, and develop the strong root systems that support reliable annual production. OMRI-listed. Granular 6-14-0. Apply in spring and fall.

Trees That Won’t Bear Fruit — Phosphorus Is Often the Answer

A fruit tree that grows vigorously but produces little or no fruit is one of the most frustrating situations in home orcharding. The tree is clearly alive and healthy — it’s just not doing the one thing you planted it to do. Low or unavailable phosphorus is a frequent contributor to this pattern. Bone meal’s high phosphorus content (14%) delivers the nutrient that drives flower bud formation, fruit set, and seed development — the three biological processes that produce your harvest. Apply in early spring when buds begin to swell and again in fall to support the following year’s flower bud development.

Calcium for Strong Roots and Cell Structure

The calcium component (from the bone meal itself) contributes to strong cell wall development and healthy root growth — the structural foundation that supports everything a productive fruit tree does. Strong roots access more water and nutrients. Strong cell walls produce firmer, better-keeping fruit. The combination of phosphorus for flowering and calcium for structure makes bone meal particularly well-suited to fruiting trees and shrubs.

100% Organic Bone Meal — OMRI-Listed, Slow Release

Jobe’s® Organic Bone Meal is made from 100% organic bone meal — OMRI-listed and certified for use in organic growing programs. The granular form works into the soil easily and releases phosphorus and calcium slowly over time, providing sustained nutrition rather than a quick spike that washes away. Outstanding for fruiting trees, shrubs, vegetables, tubers, flowers, and bulbs wherever phosphorus is the limiting nutrient.
