Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily with well-draining soil. Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the tree so the root ball's crown sits slightly above soil level, water thoroughly, and apply mulch while keeping it away from the trunk. For container cultivation, use a pot twice the width of the shipping container with drainage holes and quality potting soil. Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry, typically once weekly depending on local humidity. During fruiting season, apply citrus fertilizer monthly according to package directions, and add supplemental feedings during dormancy. Prune away dead or diseased branches before the harvest season to maintain tree health and shape.
