Growing citrus trees can be an enjoyable hobby for a novice or experienced gardener. When deciding where to plant the trees, consider placement in the yard according to the trees' needs.
Tips for Growing Citrus Trees
- The trees need full sunlight to produce the most fruit.
- The fruit should remain on the trees until completely ripe.
- The trees need to be watered twice weekly the first year they are planted and once a week after the first year.
- If the weather turns cold with a chance of a mild frost, a mist of water should be applied to the trees to prevent frost damage. Wrapping a tarp around the trunk will also help protect it from a mild frost.
After the trees are well-established, they will bear fruit without much extra care. Apply a citrus fertilizer 3 times a year.
