1. Space by plants equals growth 2. Container size matters, 15gal min., 25gal good. 3. More water=healthy trees, no wet feet 4. Food, Fertilizer,, he uses compost and worm casting 5. Varieties-best for pots have smaller fruit 6. Cold protection, under 32f put indoors, garage, or by structures 7. Lighting-citrus want full sun, get grow lights if indoors, fruit in winter so need light 8. Wind protection-for fruit set and pollination, plant protection 9. Four main pests-spider mites(spray water, give sun), Leaf Miner(normal in AZ), Thrips (eat newleaves), and Swallowtail Butterfly larvae 10. Have correct soil-good potting mix and drainage, no wet feet, he makes own 28 ingredients mix but no recipe.

I suggest that you do not need a dwarfing specific variety. Citrus grow in pots regardless of rootstock. Pots will construct rooting size just as a dwarfing rootstock. Dwarfing rootstocks will only start restricting size at a larger size than a pot would rendering any benefit they offer pointless. Ironically, dwarf rootstocks have better utility in the garden when their dwarfing function will actually kick in. Better to get a good quality rootstock for your climate and tree. The pot will do the rest.

i was told by a friend with a nursery in Florida who grows citus and she said citrus are actually understory plants. Once i moved my pots into morning sun/afternoon shade the trees exploded into far more growth.

Great information all around. I'm in Florida but have no experience growing any kind of citrus fruit. This is a great way to start. Thanks for sharing the information.

Very informative. Just started growing citrus. Had a garden center for 25 years but never sold citrus trees. Zone 8a

this video was incredibly informative. your trees are so gorgeous too! I currently have one lemon tree, that I'll be re-potting soon after watching this video (it was started in a 5 gallon pot last year).

Thank you Jay!!! Great information

I live in Washington state and I only keep a cheap heat light on 24/7 and they do fine through the winter in the green house we just had temps down to 17 degrees there perty strong thanks for all the good tips

Thank you for all your information, I need all your knowledge about citrus trees

Truly amazing tips. Thank you for sharing and teaching.

What a great video Thanks a bunch...Keep smiling

Thank you so much for the info, i live in Green Valley Az, i have a small lemon tree that i planted on the ground 3 years ago, i had 1 fruit last year, this year i had 10 fruits, i have a mandarin in a 5 gallon home depot bucket it gave me 2 fruits, my other lemon tree is in a pot gave me 3 fruits, we have an orange tree on the ground since 1993, its a big tree the fruits are very sweet, but the fruits are smaller, before it was big when my Dad was alive he had a gardener before who took care of the fertilizer, now i am trying to learn how to take care of them, i learned a lot from your video

Big fan of your channel Jay do you still recommend feeding potted fruit trees including citrus with whole eggs and worm castings? All your trees look awesome. Just got 7 citrus trees here in Oahu and just potted them.

You might think that your video was super-long, but I loved every minute of it! To me, there wasn't a dull moment. Evey part was informative and full of hints. I believe that growing my fruit trees in containers, like yours, might be a splendid way to utilize my barren backyard. Thanks for sharing.

This was so helpful, thank you.

In South West US, have also seen a caterpillar that camouflages itself as a green/ white mottled “bird poop” on the lemon trees. They did little harm we could see and went away easily by just moving them elsewhere, but seemed to like the lemon tree most.

Great video thank you

Hi Jay - what soil do you use? Thank you for the video. I started fruit trees in pots after covid. Can't wait for them to get large enough to harvest fruit. Also, do you ever water from above and wet the leaves?

Your trees look healthy. great tips.

Great video. Have been doing most things right but was planted too low and now I can see that the stems are too wet. Will raise it up in pot. Thank you!

I agree with you 100% about the amount of light needed. But fact surprise myself is the lemon tree, which bearing fruit heavily inside my friend house. It's such astounding. However, I also noticed the extreme attentive my friend was giving to the tree. She kept wiping the leaves while talking to me.

Thanks for the tips,. Here’s a tip, pull out the weeds in your pots they steal nutrition from the tree, replace with mulch..

Jay, great video and very useful information. If not wrong, I heard you also sell citrus plants. I am interested to know the price for Tango Mandarin tree and Satsuma Mandarin.

Yes, I now own 15 citrus trees. I picked up at least 5 more about 2 weeks ago. One was a cara cara. I have numerous varieties of Satsuma. A grape fruit. A few Persian limes and Meyer lemon.

I've switched to a soil- less mix, as even mixing perlite n peat moss and compost into my soil around here seems to retain moisture forever and often bogs down drainage in the lower half of the containers, promoting rot. Also, there are cheap moisture meters for 10-13 bucks on Amazon.

Plastic works extremely well....the trick is to drill some small holes in the side of the pot. Also a good way to increase drainage is to add in orchid bark mix to your cactus/succulent blend. Toss in some slow release organic fertilizer per the manufacturer's instructions and these things should help tremendously.

@captainsalmonslayer

Sand with a bit of peat for moisture retention and around 5% crushed biochar works well. Top dress with some good compost. You gotta soak the bio char in some sort of nutrient solution first otherwise it'll just suck up everything you feed the plant for a few months. Only downside is it's very heavy but at least it'll never blow over in a storm.

I have a meyer lemon tree over 10 yrs old , the lemons taste really good , but they look rusty .Do you have any suggestion ? Also it gets full sun but in a heavy rain the street floods and the waves of water goes under the tree when cars pass by .Could that be why my lemons are never pretty and yellow. Thank you for any advice.

You could give excess fruit to the food banks which help to feed the city's poor.

What kind of wiring do you have around your trees? Does it also keep out birds? Can you make a video of that?

Thank you Sr

how tall can a citrus tree can grow in a big pot ? I want to put many citrus pots around my house and use them as natural fence :)

If it is a pot crop, you can add some organic fertilizer to loosen the soil, so that the root growth of the plant is more favorable.

Could you share how you build your irrigation system?

Is there anyway you can tell me the exact ingredients in your soil, i feel like im using the wrong soil because the water does not come out as fast as you say in the video. Thanks and great video!

Oro Blanco is a cross of a grapefruit and pomelo. More delicious and milder than a grapefruit. I get 3-4 dozen fruit from an 8’ tree growing in the ground.

You can grind the bottom out of a terracotta pot and the roots can go to the ground.

You need to create a guild microclimate - where the other plants shade the pots. I move my pots every summer so plants are shading the pots, or I move pots to shade in-ground trees. Microclimates, ESPECIALLY here in the Valley (surface) Of The Sun are invaluable for success.
