Advice

  1. Suitable location: Plant your citrus trees in a place with good sun exposure and protected from strong wind.

  2. Well-drained soil: Citrus trees prefer well-drained soil. Make sure that water does not accumulate around the roots.

  3. Regular watering: Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.

  4. Fertilisation: Provide adequate nutrients through fertilisation. A balanced citrus-specific fertiliser is a good choice.

  5. Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or diseased branches. Avoid excessive pruning.

  6. Pest control: Regularly inspect your trees for pests such as spider mites, aphids or beetles. Treat any infestations in a timely manner.

  7. Frost protection: If you live in a frost-prone area, protect your trees during cold nights with covers or lights to prevent freeze damage.

  8. Mulching: Mul ch around the base of the trees to conserve soil moisture and control weeds.

  9. Harvest at the right time: Pick fruit when ripe for best flavour and quality.

  10. Disease monitoring: Watch for signs of diseases such as fungi or viruses. Treat diseases preventively or as soon as they are detected.

  11. Soil aeration: Ensure that the soil around the roots is well aerated. Avoid soil compaction.

  12. Support in the early years: Young trees may need stakes or supports to keep them upright until they establish strong roots.

Signs of weakness

  1. Leaf discolouration: Leaves may turn yellow or show abnormal discolouration, which may indicate nutritional deficiencies, disease or root problems.

  2. Premature leaf drop: Early leaf drop may be a sign of water stress, disease or root system problems.

  3. Leaf spots or deformities: Irregular leaf spots, deformities or necrosis may be due to fungal, bacterial or viral diseases.

  4. Occurrence of pests: The presence of pests such as mites, aphids or beetles can affect the health of citrus trees.

  5. Change in growth: Changes in growth pattern, such as lack of new shoots, may indicate root problems or nutritional deficiencies.
