Selecting the Right Planting Time

• Climate: Lemons thrive in subtropical and temperate climates.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil for healthy development.

Planting

1. Site Preparation: Prepare the planting hole slightly larger than the root ball of the lemon tree.
2. Soil Conditions: Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5 to 7.0).
3. Planting Depth: Plant the tree at the same depth it was in the nursery container.
4. Backfilling: Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
5. Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Watering Techniques

• Mature Trees: Use a citrus-specific fertilizer with essential nutrients.

Pruning and Training
