How to grow citrus. Lemons, limes and oranges are surprisingly easygoing. They like sun, a bit of shelter and regular water (but not too much). Prune to shape them and remove dead branches, but otherwise let them be. They’re even fairly free of diseases and pests. Plus, the fragrance is wonderful, and the fruit can stay on the tree for some time.
That said, they aren’t fond of cold weather. If you want one as a permanent garden fixture, you’ll need to live in a warm-winter climate. If you grow a dwarf variety in a pot, though, you can move it out of the elements to get it through the winter months.
