    Everything a young fruit tree wants to root into, blended and ready to plant.

    Four Ingredients, One Mix

    Each part does a job. Together they give a new tree drainage, food, moisture, and living soil from day one.

    • A pile of brown organic top soil, mix of nutrient-rich soil and red cinder, for gardening.

      Topsoil

      The growing base. Real soil for roots to spread into and hold on to.

    • Black Cinder soil

      Black Cinder

      Volcanic cinder for drainage and air at the roots. Hard to source on island, and roots love it.

    • Large pile of brown mulch against a blue sky

      Bokashi Compost

      Our fermented Bokashi compost with in-house inoculant. Feeds the soil and brings it to life.

    • Close-up of shredded brown wood mulch or bark chips with varying shades from light tan to very dark brown.

      Aged Wood Chips

      Clean aged chips, not mulch. Hold moisture and build organic matter as they break down.

    Why It Works for Fruit Trees

    Citrus, avocado, cacao, and other fruit trees want fast drainage, steady food, and living soil. This mix gives all three.

    • Drains fast so roots never sit in water, thanks to the hard-to-find black cinder
    • Feeds steadily as the Bokashi compost and aged chips release nutrients over time
    • Holds moisture through dry stretches so young trees ride out the heat
    • Builds living soil and feeds the fungal networks fruit trees depend on
    • Clean ingredients only, no ground pallet mulch and no dye
    • Blended and ready, so you plant the same day it arrives

    How to Plant With It

    • 2

      Backfill around the root ball with Bokashi Fruit Tree Mix, firming gently as you go.

    • 3

      Water it in well so the mix settles around the roots.

    • 4

      Top with a few inches of aged wood chips, kept back from the trunk, to hold moisture.
