Keep your citrus trees happy and productive this a

Keep your citrus trees happy and productive this autumn by managing those sneaky shoots that drain the life from your fruit-bearing branches. Stopping rootstock growth means more energy to grow juicy fruit 🍋🍊 Here’s what you can do:

Spot & remove: Quickly prune off any fast-growing, thorny shoots below the graft line
Sunlight & space: Keep your tree well-pruned to allow airflow and sunlight
Feed & mulch: Strengthen your citrus and reduce plant stress with compost and organic mulch.
Water smartly: Deep but infrequent watering keeps roots strong without encouraging suckers
