Fruits
Before
moving
further,
let
us
go
back
to
our
basics
of
science
to
freshen
up
our
memories
about
the
varieties
of
citrus
fruits.
Some
of
the
most
commonly
known
citrus

are:
lemon,
orange,
tangelo,
grapefruit
and

Gardening Citrus Trees: Tips
Planting
the
tree
Citrus
trees
and
plants
need
sufficient
sunshine,
up
to
five
hours
a
day
should
do
for
them.
So
while
planting
your
citrus
tree
in
your
garden,
make
sure
that
you
choose
a
bright
sunny
place
for
your
tree
to
grow
successfully.
Spring
season
is
generally
preferred
to
plant
citrus
trees.
Also, did you know that we do not necessarily need big backyards to grow citrus trees? Usually reaching heights of 3 to 5 ft, dwarf varieties of citrus trees grow well in pots. During winter nights, bring the pots inside as long exposure to extreme cold weather may damage the plant.
Special
Care
for
the
Potted
Citrus
In
order
to
grow
a
dwarf
citrus
in
a
pot,
any
sun-brightened
place
can
be
good
enough
for
the
plant
to
grow
well.
However,
an
important
tip
to
remember
is
that
gardening
citrus
trees
in
pots
also
requires
constant
care.
For starters, make sure that your pot has enough room for the plant to flourish. Besides sunshine, a quality potting mix and constant watering are essentials for potted citrus plants.
Gardening
Citrus
Trees
in
the
Orchard
Those
who
are
willing
to
plant
a
mini-orchard
should
make
sure
that
the
grass
is
kept
at
a
sufficient
distance
from
the
citrus
tree's
trunk
in
order
to
protect
the
tree
from
collar
rot.
Also, while planting, a minimum of two-metre distance should be kept between the citrus plants.
Common
Causes
of
Citrus
Tree
Death
Frost,
poor
drainage,
over-watering
are
some
of
the
common
causes
for
sudden
death
in
young
trees
whereas,
in
older
trees,
collar
rot
is
observed
as
the
usual
suspect
for
the
death
of
the
trees.
Harvesting
Once
fully
grown,
citrus
fruits
develop
a
vibrant
colour
and
are
ready
to
be
picked.
An
average
3
ft
tall
tree
should
not
bear
more
than
20
fruits
at
a
time.
