Citrus trees need regular and adequate fertilizing to ensure healthy growth and abundant fruit production. Citrus fertilizer should be applied in early spring, before the tree blooms, for best results. If you miss your early feeding, it's important to feed your citrus tree around mid-May when the fruit is about pea-size.
Citrus fertilizer should be applied at a rate of approximately one pound per year of age up to ten years, then one-half pound thereafter. Make sure to spread the fertilizer evenly over the root zone and water it well after application. Citrus trees also benefit from applications of compost or other organic matter in late winter or early spring. Adding organic material helps with water retention, soil aeration, and fertility improvement.
