Frequently Asked Questions
Would it be foolish to try to incorporate citrus into my landscape plan? Or should I keep them separate?
A few suggestions....highlight this tree’s red-blushed fruit with the crimson blooms of Petite Red Imp TM Crape Myrtle. Complement the red with the cool blues of Huntington Carpet Rosemary. Also a consideration is usage as a long range focal point, or position the blood orange to screen off undesirable land uses with it's evergreen foliage.
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. If you live in an extreme winter area, keep in container and move outdoors spring through fall if possible
