Autumn is a great time of year to be planting citrus fruit. The new plants from the nurseries are lush and full because of good summer growth. Garden soil is moist from autumn rains and, with winter approaching, there are high prospects of further moisture to aid root establishment.
Citrus are one of the favourite fruit plants in Whanganui for small and large gardens as well as container production, with eventual tree size being controlled by the use of dwarfing rootstocks.
