Spring is the perfect time to prepare citrus plants for marvellous growth.

HEALTHY CITRUS

Citrus plants require lots of nutrients to develop their beautiful fruit. They do marvellously with regular feeding right throughout the year, but there are some tricks for the best results.

STEP 1
First, for citrus to grow well, the golden rule is NO grass below them. In fact, they like the grass removed right out past the dripline. The dripline is the area directly below the outer branches. Citrus tree roots feed close to the ground surface and usually below the dripline, so grass will deprive them of their food.

STEP 2
Secondly, Citrus trees are heavy feeders, requiring lots of rich organic composted matter to produce a tree ladened with juicy fruit. After removing the grass, spread 5 IN 1 Organic Fertiliser onto the soil, keeping it away from the trunk. 5 IN 1 is a fully organic fertiliser that promotes strong and robust growth. Use 5 IN 1 on the soil twice a year, once in spring and once in Autumn for continued fertiliser release.

STEP 3
Thirdly, citrus flourish when well mulched. Spread a layer of mulch on top of the 5 IN 1. Be sure to spread this out past the dripline and leave a gap around the trunk.

After all this, give the newly prepared Citrus a good deep watering. Continue to water your citrus about once a week and be sure to give it a deep watering each time. This will help promote strong growth, ultimately producing crops of sweet and luscious fruit.
