Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planting: Plant the trees in well-draining soil in a sunny location, sheltered from strong winds.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Feeding: Feed with a citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Winter Protection: Protect the trees from frost during the winter. Move potted trees indoors or cover outdoor trees with fleece or horticultural fleece when temperatures drop below freezing, especially for Lime trees.
- Pruning: Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.
- Pest Control: Regularly inspect for pests and diseases. Treat any infestations promptly with appropriate treatments. If the trees are potted, ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
