Why Choose Citrus - Lemon Lisbon For Your Garden?

How To Grow Citrus - Lemon Lisbon In Different Soil Types

Enhancing Soil for Fruit Production and Tree Health

Ideal Drainage: Thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

Well-Draining Soil: Perfect for citrus, preventing root diseases and promoting fruit quality.

If you have the following soil, here are some tips for you:

Sandy Soil: Requires regular fertilization and organic amendments to maintain fertility and moisture.
Clay Soil: Must be well-amended with sand and organic material to improve drainage and aeration.
Loamy Soil: Excellent if well-drained; maintain with balanced nutrition and pH adjustments.
Peaty Soil: Adjust with sand for better drainage; monitor soil pH to maintain slight acidity.

Planting Your Citrus - Lemon Lisbon: Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant:

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.
Place the Lemon Lisbon tree in the hole, making sure the graft line is above soil level.
Fill the hole with soil, pressing down to eliminate air pockets.
Water generously after planting.

Watering Requirements After Planting

When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:

Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Citrus - Lemon Lisbon to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.

Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
