Angie answers common citrus care questions and shares simple tips for healthier, more productive trees.

• Citrus trees perform best when planted into enriched soil, with products like Yates Dynamic Lifter helping improve soil health and support strong establishment.
• Preparing the planting hole with organic matter encourages healthy root development and gives young citrus trees the best possible start.
• Citrus trees are heavy feeders and benefit from regular applications of specialised citrus fertiliser throughout the year.
• Consistent feeding helps maintain healthy growth, improve fruit production and support long-term tree performance.
• Common citrus pests include scale, aphids, bronze orange bugs and citrus leaf miner, all of which can weaken trees if left untreated.
• Oil and pyrethrum-based sprays like OCP eco-pyrethrum PLUS can help control and prevent these common pests.
• For more tailored advice and solutions, gardeners can speak with the experts at Yates.
