Citrus success

Choose a warm sheltered spot.

Good drainage is essential.

Take care not to bury the graft when planting.

Beware of frost, particularly on young trees. Protect with frost cloth.

Water well. Poor fruiting can be the result of an erratic water supply.

Remove fruit from young trees to promote strong growth.

Feed in spring.

Mulch to keep weeds out and water in. Citrus have shallow roots which are sensitive to weed sprays and cultivating or mowing.
