Water
Deeply when the top inch or two dries. Let pots drain fully.
Planting and soil
Well-drained soil or citrus potting mix. Keep the graft union above the soil.
Feeding
Citrus fertilizer with micronutrients, spring through early fall.
Pruning
Remove sprouts below the graft and dead wood. Light shaping after harvest; wear gloves.
Through the year
White blossoms in spring. Fruit turns yellow and ripens in fall into early winter.
If something's off
Yellow leaves call for micronutrients. Young trees need frost protection even though mature ones are hardy.
