Planting Citrus Trees for Success

When it comes to planting citrus trees on your property, achieving success begins with choosing the right location. Gerrick Taylor, provides valuable insights in a video below on where to plant citrus trees to ensure they thrive and produce bountiful fruit.

The best time to plant a citrus tree in South Carolina (SC) and Georgia (GA) is typically in the spring or early fall when the weather is mild. This allows the tree to establish its roots before the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.

Spring Planting (March to May):

Planting in the spring, after the last frost but before the heat of summer, is a good option. This allows the citrus tree to take advantage of the warm temperatures for root establishment.

 Fall Planting (September to October):

Fall is also a suitable time for planting citrus trees. Planting in early fall gives the tree time to establish roots before winter dormancy. However, make sure to plant early enough so that the tree has time to acclimate before the first frost.

Regardless of the season, it's essential to consider local weather conditions and frost dates. Avoid planting during the hottest part of summer or the coldest part of winter to give your citrus tree the best chance for successful establishment.
