1. Planting: Choose a spot that receives full sun (6 hours a day) with well-drained soil. Plant in early spring or fall, spacing trees 6-10 feet apart. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball, placing the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the soil's surface.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water deeply once a week, targeting the base of the tree to avoid wetting the foliage. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
3. Fertilizing: Use a balanced citrus fertilizer or one designed for fruit trees. Apply in early spring and late summer, following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and thin out the center to improve air circulation and light penetration.
5. Pollination: This plant is self-fertile, so you will get fruit from just one tree.
