Ceanothus (California lilac)
A citrus twist on container gardening. Sprucing up your small space is easy with citrus trees.
Growing citrus trees in containers is an excellent way to enjoy fresh fruit in small spaces. Pot size determines tree growth, so choose a container that matches your desired size and ensure it has drainage holes. Semi-dwarf varieties like Meyer lemons adapt well to pots and remain manageable. Light pruning maintains
shape and airflow. Monitoring for pests ensures vigor.
With consistent care, blossoms will turn into fruit, making container citrus a rewarding option for patios, balconies or urban gardens. This method combines beauty, fragrance and productivity, proving that even limited spaces can yield abundant harvests.
Easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.
Follow these easy tips for growing citrus in container gardens this winter. • Use nutrient-rich organic potting mix. • Add lava rocks at
the bottom or mixed in to improve aeration and keep roots healthy. • Place the tree in full sun for 6–8 hours daily.
• Water deeply but let the topsoil dry slightly between waterings. • Fertilize regularly with a balanced citrus blend.
