Citrus Trees

About

Lemons, oranges and more, right from home. A multitude of health benefits meets crisp, delicious flavor in a picturesque package. We offer a number of varieties of Citrus Trees, so there's something for everyone, no matter where you live.

Finally, water the surrounding soil and mulch to conserve moisture. When to Plant Citrus Trees We recommend planting your Citrus Trees in early spring, but you can plant in pots to stay on the porch or move indoors nearly any time of year.

Pollination occurs when bees help spread the pollen of one tree from bloom to bloom, helping fruit emerge, or when bees carry the pollen from one tree to another tree, helping both varieties fruit. For indoor trees, you'll hand pollinate, but the process is easy: Simply
