Every citrus has the same basic needs regarding sun, water, fertilizer, and pruning, but slight differences can make a big difference in your eventual harvest. Consider these as you decide on the right tree for your landscape, and don’t hesitate to ask questions about the trees you’re considering.
Climate-Based Decision
Our citrus tree selections are safe for USDA Zones 9-11, and the area around Pine Island and Punta Gorda falls within Zone 9. The orange, tangelo, tangerine, lemon, and cocktail citrus trees we sell are all safe for this zone, but some protection will be required if a rare freezing event occurs, especially during the first couple of growing seasons. One of the primary reasons for choosing Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape as your source for fruit trees is that you can be confident that any product sold here will be appropriate for the climate in the area.
Location-Based Decision
Determining the location where you will plant your new tree should be a primary factor in your decision. Taking the time to choose the perfect spot within your landscape will pay off with a durable and long-lived planting. Key factors to consider include protection from north winds, access to full sun, sandy and well-draining soil, and at least 15-foot clearance from other trees, buildings, or below-ground tanks or pipes. Imagine the size of the tree in years to come, and make sure that the space you choose will leave room for the roots and canopy.
Source-Based Decision
Finally, choosing the right source for your fruit tree is important. For the best results, make your purchase from a company with a good reputation and a long history of growing the plants you have in mind. If you allow Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape to provide your trees, you’ll have a disease-free, healthy product that has been properly raised and cultivated.
