Care Tip
GENERAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS : Plant in organically rich soil with good drainage. Water Citrus regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep extensive root system. Once the citrus tree is established you can reduce the frequency of irrigation. To encourage healthy new growth, add a general purpose fertilizer before spring time and prune during winter. Citrus Trees require high-nitrogen fertilizer regularly to thrive. Look for a fertilizer specifically formulated for Citrus Trees.Details
