Free $100 gift card with orders over $500, ends Nov 28: https://growepic.co/3EmYyB6Join me as we plant 9 new citrus trees in the orchard:

Bearss Lime
Cara Cara Orange
Valencia Orange
Washington Navel Orange
Pink Lemonade Lemon
Nagami Kumquat
Satsuma Mandarin
Gold Nugget Mandarin
Moro Blood Orange

These went in along the north property line, to provide an evergreen hedge here in my climate, giving me privacy and a “fruit wall” that should do quite well!

I selected varieties that I wanted, on rootstock that provided beneficial qualities given the somewhat clay soil that I have. I didn’t care too much about dwarf or standard, because I will be pruning actively even throughout the summer to keep these trees sculpted to no more than 8 ft tall.

These were planted 4 ft apart on center, which is quite close but again with active pruning I will have less fruit from more varieties over a longer period of time, which is exactly what I want as a home orchard grower!

Stay tuned for a full Citrus Planting 101 video and a lot more orchard content coming up soon!
