Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily, then dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and equally deep. Place your tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly for several minutes; add mulch around the base to regulate soil temperature. Water once or twice weekly, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry between waterings—for container plants, check soil moisture with your finger before adding water. Apply a citrus-specific fertilizer every six weeks during spring and summer, then reduce to every 2 to 3 months in fall and winter. For container growing, use a pot with drainage holes slightly larger than the shipping container and well-draining potting soil.
