How can I motivate my citrus trees to bear fruit?
I have three young trees (lemon, lime and orange) outside my yeard. Lime has been a lot of flowers but no fruit is the size of a pea past. Lemon has only had 3 flowers in 3 years. Orange has had since planted flowers. I fertilize every ~ 3 months with a citrus fertilizer. How can I encourage the production of fruit? I am also interested appeal in case of juvenile leaves.
Young citrus trees are very sensitive to heat stress, if not enough water, when hot, fruit trees lose their counsel you to make sure you keep the soil moist beneath the trees during periods of hot weather. This is very important after the trees are in bloom and shortly thereafter. More … Remember not to over water your citrus before starting to mature. The roots will seek also water and fruit will often split or crack. As to your question about the leaf miner control …. I have read that there is now a product leafminer control citrus for the gardener. It is sold as "light green grass and its spread in the garden" and contains the active ingredient called spinosad. For maximum protection of miners in citrus trees in the garden is obtained if sprays are applied when the foliage again only half emerged and the first affected leaves are beginning to roll. Here is a site that might be able to help you locate the Product; http://www.agorganics.com/products/Spinosad-Lawn–Garden-Spray– 16oz-Conc–Green-Light/12/220.html Hope this information was useful. GOOD LUCK! (Certified Expert professional agronomist with a degree in Plant Sciences)
