Tips for Planting Citrus Trees

When you buy citrus trees, proper planting and care help them thrive. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil. Citrus trees love moisture but dislike soggy roots, so consider raised beds or containers. Feed your citrus trees regularly with a balanced fertiliser and keep an eye out for pests like aphids or scale. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular pruning helps shape your tree and encourages fruit production, especially for varieties such as Lemon 'Meyer' or Kumquat 'Meiwa' (Cumquat Meiwa).
