The amount and number of applications of Pennington Fast Acting Lime you need to put down is determined by what your soils starting pH would be to compare to the scale on the product label. One 6 pound bag of Pennington Fast Acting Lime will cover approximately 1,000 square feet on lawns for pH that is 6.0 and above. One 30 pound bag will cover approximately 5,000 square feet. Per the product label: You will add an additional 6lbs/1,000 sqft on the application rate for each 1/2 point of pH below 6 (i.e., use 12lbs for pH 5.5-6.0, 18lbs for pH 5.0 - 5.5, etc.). You should test your soil to determine the current after each each application to be sure.
It's hard to say how many applications you may need to do of the Hi Yield Fast Acting Lime as that would be dependent a little bit on where you pH level started and what your goal number is for ideal health of the trees. Typically, treatments are done once or twice a year in spring or fall if needed.
Per the product label, each Hi - Yield Fast Acting Lime 25lb bag covers 5,000 sq ft and to raise the ph level of 6.0 and above, you will need 9 x 25lb bags to fully treat one acre.
