When is the best time to plant a citrus tree?

County Extensions Frequently Asked Questions
Potted citrus trees can be planted almost anytime of the year. Fall and Spring are two of the better times. Since newly planted citrus trees are not as cold hardy as more mature ones, Fall planting should be done at least two (2) months before freezing temperatures can be expected.

We would like to add a few new citrus trees. When is the best time to plant a tree?

Master Gardener Faq: Fruit Crops - Osceola County Extension ...
Spring is an ideal time to plant new citrus trees. Garden centers have a good supply to pick from, and the trees are ready to begin root and shoot growth. Make sure you give the new tree a sunny site and space the trees at least 12 to 15 feet apart. If you miss the spring planting season, don't worry. Container-grown trees are available year-round. They can be added to the landscape anytime.

Start with what you like. If you like oranges pick a naval, blood, or Valencia. If you like grapefruit pick the white Marsh or a pink Ruby. What you really need to consider is where your citrus is going to be grown. Some are more susceptible to frost damage than others. And although there is always talk about covering citrus trees to get them through the cold nights of winter it's a lot of work.

How do you plant a macadamia tree?

Mac Faq's
Since macadamia trees are evergreen, you can prune them any time that you want. However, for the most part, they do not require a great deal of pruning for themselves. If you are not pleased with your trees shape then go at it. If you open up the tree to the rays of the sun you could make it a subject for sunburn. You can make a suntan lotion using white latex paint mixed half and half with water, then just brush it on the areas that you have exposed to the sun.

When's the best time to plant trees?

John Shelley's Garden Center & Nursery, Inc.
In either early Spring or throughout the Fall. The reason is that the soil temperature is low and the tree's roots can easily acclimate to the new soil where it will live for the rest of its life without stress. It takes about 30-45 days for a tree to root-in and begin living on its own without the additional care required to sustain its life. If a drought would occur, a minimum of 25 gallons or 1" of water would be required per tree per week to keep them alive.

When is the best time to plant?

Garden design by Lesley Keck
Autumn and spring are much the best times for planting trees, shrubs, roses and herbaceous perennials when the ground is moist but not saturated. Ensure that the root ball of plants have been well soaked with water prior to planting. Make sure that the plants receive a good supply of water throughout their first year and water well in subsequent years during periods of drought. Evergreens should be planted in the early spring when the ground is still damp.

Successful planting can take place any time of the year; however, there are advantages and disadvantages to every season. Fall and winter planting require less watering and are less stressful on plants due to the fact that plants are entering dormancy. The availability of some types of plants, such as trees, is also at its peak in fall and winter. The warmer ground and wet weather of spring are also ideal for planting.

What is the best time of year to plant?

Most tree planting for reforestation is done when seedlings are dormant and rainfall is frequent, that is, between December and April. Later planting can put your seedlings at risk because they can be exposed to warm temperatures before their roots have been settled into the soil by a good rain. Under some circumstances it may be desirable to plant in the early fall. This requires a containerized seedling that has been cultured for early shipment.

I think my tree has citrus canker, what should I do?

Citrus Canker FAQs, DPI - FDACS
The state is working with the USDA and UF/IFAS to determine new management strategies for citrus diseases. Recommendations for dealing with trees suspected of having citrus canker will be available soon. For now, you should not move any citrus plant material or fruit from your property and avoid coming into contact with the suspect plant to prevent spread of the disease. Do not mail or bring samples of suspected citrus canker or greening to extension offices.
Related Questions

Why would you want to graft a citrus tree?

Frequently Asked Questions
Oranges and grapefruit are highly susceptible to foot rot disease, caused by Phytophthora citropthora and P. nicotiana. Some rootstocks offer considerable resistance to that disease. So on infested land, it's important to use such a stock. Rootstock variety has some effect on the strength of flavor of the fruit, the sweetness, total yield of the tree, and cold-hardiness of the tree. Some citrus scion varieties are difficult to root from cuttings.
Related Questions

How can I air layer a citrus tree?

Frequently Asked Questions
Air layers work best with a stem thicker than a finger -- maybe thumb size. But thinner stems can be layered if you're very careful not to break them. It's easiest to work when the plant is actively putting out new growth, since the bark will "slip," meaning it will peel cleanly away from the wood. Cut a ring around the stem, cutting through the bark to the wood. Don't go deeply into the wood. You can use a knife or the blade of a pruning clipper.

For best results, choose at least a 5' tall tree. Select a site with enough room for roots and branches to reach full size, and don't forget to avoid overhead and underground utilities. Prepare the area by loosening the soil three to five times the diameter of the root-ball. Dig a hole in the middle set the root-ball even with the ground level. Then water the soil. If the tree will not stand up in the wind, stake it down.
