FAQs
Can I leave these trees outside in the winter?
No, these citrus trees are not frost-hardy and must be moved to a frost-free, bright, cool location before the first winter frost.
How often should I use the Citrus Summer Feed?
Use the feed throughout the active growing season (spring and summer) following the application rates on the 200g tub.
Do I need to prune the trees?
Light pruning can be done to maintain the shape of the tree, usually after the fruiting season has finished.
Are the oranges and lemons edible?
Yes, once the trees are established and the fruit has fully ripened, the citrus is suitable for culinary use.
Why does my lemon tree have thorns?
It is a natural characteristic of many lemon varieties to grow thorns, so please handle the tree with care.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves
This often indicates overwatering or a nutrient deficiency; check drainage and ensure you are using the provided Citrus Summer Feed.
Leaf drop in winter

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, ensure the trees are placed in pots that provide adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. During the summer, water your trees freely when the top inch of soil feels dry. As the plant enters dormancy in the winter, significantly reduce watering to avoid root rot. Use the provided Citrus Summer Feed according to the label instructions during the spring and summer active growth phases. Always ensure the plants are kept away from freezing temperatures, as they are not hardy in cold climates.
