Care and Planting of 
CITRUSE ERE 
FOR BEST RESULTS, trees 
should be planted in spring 
or early summer in a sunny, 
open location, and at least 15 
or more feet from other simi- 
lar sized growing trees. 
Dig a hole a foot larger in 
diameter than the diameter of 
the ball, and about as deep as 
the ball. If the hole is too 
deep, fill in with good top 
soil to proper depth and set- 
tle dirt before setting tree in 
the hole. Citrus trees should 
not be planted any lower than 
they were in the nursery. Fol- 
flow the same planting pro- 
cedure outlined for other balled plants. 
Keep soil level 
Same Qs in 
nursery __ 
Next build a rim of soil on top of ground at outer 
edge of hole and fill with water immediately to wet 
soil and fill air space in soil and settle further. Fol- 
low with second watering within two or three days and 
a third, ten to fifteen days later. It is important that 
newly planted trees have sufficient moisture but too 
frequent irrigation keeps the ground cold and prevents 
normal root growth. Subsequent irrigations should be 
made only as soil becomes dry. Citrus roots make great- 
est growth just before soil of the root area is too dry. 
Little fertilizer is mecessary during the first few 
months after planting. A little well rotted manure may 
be spread in basin, but not close to the tree.
