Things You'll Need:
- Garden Hoses
- High-nitrogen Fertilizers
-
Step 1
Purchase a high-nitrogen liquid or granular fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers are easiest to use on citrus trees that grow in containers. Use granular fertilizer on trees planted in the ground.
-
Step 2
Water the tree before applying the fertilizer.
-
Step 3
Apply fertilizer evenly to the soil beneath the tree's canopy, at rates recommended on the label.
-
Step 4
Water the tree after fertilizing to wash nutrients into soil.
-
Step 5
Repeat the process every four to six weeks from February through August for trees growing in the ground. Repeat every two weeks for container trees.

on 3/24/2009 My grandchildren and I planted a lemon seed 3 years ago and now have a tree that is about 4 feet tall with a couple of blossoms on it. What do we use to repel insects? This is the varity that grows to the size of grapefruit, I do not know its name but do know that the fruit and juice is great.

on 12/11/2008 I planted a lime and a tangerine tree last summer. I wantered them once a week through the summer. It is now dec. and the temp. is in low 40s. How often should I water through the winter? Should I cover them if we have a freeze?
