Dreaming of fresh lemons, limes, or mandarins? Fall is prime time to plant citrus in the East Bay! The warm soil and cool air help young trees grow strong roots before winter rains arrive.
✨ Pro Tips for Success:
🌞 Choose a sunny spot — citrus love 6–8 hours of light daily.
🌱 Go for dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties for easy care and great yields.
💧 Keep soil well-drained — citrus hate wet feet!
🪴 Container trees? Use a loose citrus mix and water when the top inch is dry.
🌤 Protect from frost and feed with citrus fertilizer in spring for healthy growth.
With a little care, your citrus tree can thrive for decades — rewarding you with fragrant blooms and juicy fruit every year.
