These citrus trees are fruit producing and are carrying fruit, so you’ll be enjoying them in G&Ts in no time.
Best space & place
They like a bright sheltered spot and will survive outdoors in milder parts of the UK - however as these specimens have come from the mediterranean and are carrying fruit they are best kept in a glasshouse or conservatory until the frost has passed.
When to water & feed
Citrus trees are thirsty in the summer months when they are carrying fruit, and can benefit from a citrus feed at this time of year. In winter months it is best to reduce watering.
Need to know
They can be kept indoors all year but require more care, and a period of cold to produce buds and then fruit. Often house kept citrus trees don't go on to produce a good crop.

Please note this is an outdoor plant and should be planted outdoors. We do not recommend keeping as an indoor plant.
For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
