HOW TO GROW 
GOOD CITRUS TREES 
PLANTING. All citrus varieties are evergreen 
and come with a ball of soil around the roots. 
Dig a deep, spacious hole at least twice the 
size of the ball. Set the tree in the hole so 
that the bud union is about two inches above 
ground level. Fill in with good topsoil about 
half way. Cut the top string supporting the 
burlap and fold back. Fill in with more top- 
soil and irrigate to compact soil around roots. 
Warning: Do not use any fertilizer or manure 
when planting. If ball is dried and hard when 
received, plunge into a bucket of water for a 
minute before setting the ball into the hole. 
FERTILIZER. Use a well-balanced commercial 
fertilizer aq month after planting and each 
spring thereafter. Mulch with well-rotted ma- 
nure in the irrigation basin summer, fall and 
winter. 
WATER. Citrus trees require regular irrigation 
in the dry season. Irrigate in a large basin 
at least once each month in heavy soils and 
every two weeks in light, sandy soils. Warn- 
ing: If your citrus tree is a lawn specimen, 
keep the sod from growing near the base of 
the trunk. Your sprinkling system will not 
provide enough water for your tree; irrigate 
regularly as recommended above. 
PEST CONTROL. Spray for aphis on the new 
foliage in spring and for scale at monthly in- 
tervals from spring to winter. A combination 
spray for aphis and scale is recommended. 
Keep ants out of your trees.
