  • Limequat Growing Tips

 

  • Best time to plant: Anytime night temperatures are at least 50F and expected to rise in the next month or so. This is going to be mid to late spring for most people.

 

  • Sun: Full sun anywhere in the U.S. It doesn't grow well in the shade.

  • Growth structure: This is naturally a shrub. It can grow up to 8-15ft.

 

  • Fruiting: This tree flowers in the spring and fruits ripen late in the year, beginning of next year. Self-pollinating, you only need 1 tree to get fruit.

 

  • Watering: In containers, water when 50% dry. In ground, let soil dry about 6-12" and water. Follow that rule its first year in ground. As your tree gets older, you will need to deep water. Do not keep wet.

 

  • Fertilization: In containers, any slow release fertilizer will work. In ground, compost and mulch is all you will ever need. No special fertilizers needed.
  •  
  • Container Grown: This plant does well in a container with proper maintenance.

 

  • Personal Growing Tip: Once you plant this tree in ground, no top growth is normal until the tree roots in ground. The rooting process can take 1 year+ depending on your local night temperatures. Hot=It Grows faster, Cold=It grows slower.
