Learn how to select and care for citrus trees in the home garden
There are hundreds of varieties of citrus available to residents of California to grow in their yards. Some of these varieties are available in nurseries, but many more can be purchased as cuttings from the University of California's Citrus Clonal Protection Program.
This presentation will focus on growing citrus in Los Angeles County and surrounding areas. With so many choices it's important to know which varieties grow and produce well under local climatic conditions. For instance, some types of citrus are more cold sensitive, while others require summer heat to ripen the fruit properly. Learn how to select the right tree for your location.
Citrus trees are some of the easiest fruit trees to take care of, but they do require some attention to ensure they remain healthy and productive. This is particularly true today because of an invasive pest, the Asian Citrus Psyllid, and the disease it spreads called Huanglongbing that is now sickening trees in Southern California. Learn how to identify this pest and disease and what to do if you find them.
