1. Space by plants equals growth 2. Container size matters, 15gal min., 25gal good. 3. More water=healthy trees, no wet feet 4. Food, Fertilizer,, he uses compost and worm casting 5. Varieties-best for pots have smaller fruit 6. Cold protection, under 32f put indoors, garage, or by structures 7. Lighting-citrus want full sun, get grow lights if indoors, fruit in winter so need light 8. Wind protection-for fruit set and pollination, plant protection 9. Four main pests-spider mites(spray water, give sun), Leaf Miner(normal in AZ), Thrips (eat newleaves), and Swallowtail Butterfly larvae 10. Have correct soil-good potting mix and drainage, no wet feet, he makes own 28 ingredients mix but no recipe.

i was told by a friend with a nursery in Florida who grows citus and she said citrus are actually understory plants. Once i moved my pots into morning sun/afternoon shade the trees exploded into far more growth.

Thanks for sharing this video! I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels!

He spends the first 6 minutes showing you how well his plants fruit, but if you believe him you can just skip to the 6-minute point where the tips finally begin.

I live in Washington state and I only keep a cheap heat light on 24/7 and they do fine through the winter in the green house we just had temps down to 17 degrees there perty strong thanks for all the good tips

Great information all around. I'm in Florida but have no experience growing any kind of citrus fruit. This is a great way to start. Thanks for sharing the information.

Very informative. Just started growing citrus. Had a garden center for 25 years but never sold citrus trees. Zone 8a

Thank you for all your information, I need all your knowledge about citrus trees

Big fan of your channel Jay do you still recommend feeding potted fruit trees including citrus with whole eggs and worm castings? All your trees look awesome. Just got 7 citrus trees here in Oahu and just potted them.

this video was incredibly informative. your trees are so gorgeous too! I currently have one lemon tree, that I'll be re-potting soon after watching this video (it was started in a 5 gallon pot last year).

Thank you so much for the info, i live in Green Valley Az, i have a small lemon tree that i planted on the ground 3 years ago, i had 1 fruit last year, this year i had 10 fruits, i have a mandarin in a 5 gallon home depot bucket it gave me 2 fruits, my other lemon tree is in a pot gave me 3 fruits, we have an orange tree on the ground since 1993, its a big tree the fruits are very sweet, but the fruits are smaller, before it was big when my Dad was alive he had a gardener before who took care of the fertilizer, now i am trying to learn how to take care of them, i learned a lot from your video

You might think that your video was super-long, but I loved every minute of it! To me, there wasn't a dull moment. Evey part was informative and full of hints. I believe that growing my fruit trees in containers, like yours, might be a splendid way to utilize my barren backyard. Thanks for sharing.

Truly amazing tips. Thank you for sharing and teaching.

Thanks for sharing all the good tips. What do your suggest as pesticides for thrips? Base on your description, I think that is what my sweet lemon plant had.

What's your in ground Owari sized at? Do you have a video on applying the wraps to support new plants?

Stunning trees and great tips! Thank you 😊👍👌

I agree with you 100% about the amount of light needed. But fact surprise myself is the lemon tree, which bearing fruit heavily inside my friend house. It's such astounding. However, I also noticed the extreme attentive my friend was giving to the tree. She kept wiping the leaves while talking to me.

Excellent presentation, very helpful.

Jay, great video and very useful information. If not wrong, I heard you also sell citrus plants. I am interested to know the price for Tango Mandarin tree and Satsuma Mandarin.

Would it be possible to get a list of your ingredients for your soil mix?

Hi Jay - what soil do you use? Thank you for the video. I started fruit trees in pots after covid. Can't wait for them to get large enough to harvest fruit. Also, do you ever water from above and wet the leaves?

Great vid! I what are your thoughts on growing citrus in grow bags?

In South West US, have also seen a caterpillar that camouflages itself as a green/ white mottled “bird poop” on the lemon trees. They did little harm we could see and went away easily by just moving them elsewhere, but seemed to like the lemon tree most.

Great video. Have been doing most things right but was planted too low and now I can see that the stems are too wet. Will raise it up in pot. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips,. Here’s a tip, pull out the weeds in your pots they steal nutrition from the tree, replace with mulch..

What kind of wiring do you have around your trees? Does it also keep out birds? Can you make a video of that?

Hello, I'm in Phoenix, AZ as well and want to start growing citrus trees. The water is really hard here, do you filter yours at all or do you just water straight from the hose?

Thank you for give me hope that i can plant fruits tree in pots, i don't have MUCH space at home. Live in oc.and where do u go and get the pots?where do we buy 25 gallons cheap pots?

I have a meyer lemon tree over 10 yrs old , the lemons taste really good , but they look rusty .Do you have any suggestion ? Also it gets full sun but in a heavy rain the street floods and the waves of water goes under the tree when cars pass by .Could that be why my lemons are never pretty and yellow. Thank you for any advice.

Can you go straight to a 15 or 25 gallon pot? Mine are in 5 and 7 gallon now

Can I grow Mandarin oranges in zone 8BI live in Texas where it's hot and cold and what type?

Hi i want to start growing citrus what type of fertilizer can recommend.

amazing information...thank you

You could give excess fruit to the food banks which help to feed the city's poor.

What size containerd you used? I am new to your video.

Do you ever check the PH in the containers? My Owari tub soil is high PH because our tap water is high( about 8). Thanks.

Where do you get pots larger then 20 gallon?

big fan of the long format video

Will a satsuma reach full size in a 25” pot?

What part of Arizona you located? Do you have any Suma orange trees? I’ll be coming through in July and I’d like to purchase a few Citrus trees.

I have a Thai lime and Meyer lemon that I bring inside in the winter. I put them by a south facing window and they do fine. Haven’t had any bug problems either.

What size container is the Owari Satsuma in? 10 gallons? I need to bring mine inside every winter 😅

I have three lemons in pots and it’s not doing well, what’s your suggestions? My pots are sitting on cemented back patio. I can’t take it outside cuz someone always takes my potted plants. Thank you for sharing 😊 another question, can you put the lemons and cara cara side by side would they cross pollinate? Thanks

What are you spraying on your fruit trees?

this may be a weird question. I want to know is there anything one can do for a plant once it has over grown the pot it's in besides placing it in another new pot? Can you trim the roots of the tree and plant it again in the same pot?

For orange stem gunnies which pesticite is best

I know this video is two years old but where does everyone get cuttings or seeds or seedlings from? I am trying to start my fruit trees but I can’t find any 😔

Where did you purchase the tree.

Yes, I now own 15 citrus trees. I picked up at least 5 more about 2 weeks ago. One was a cara cara. I have numerous varieties of Satsuma. A grape fruit. A few Persian limes and Meyer lemon. I told my wife that I was just going for the Cara Cara and came back with 4 others... I swear I won't get any more..👀

Wow beautiful health plent thanks for sharing your video

Do you make your wooden planters or purchase them from a certain place. I am looking to repot my Lemon and Key Lime from 15 gallon to something larger but find it impossible to find good plastic planters.

Can I use Citrus Potting soil with Coco Coir and Peat Moss?

Thank you so much!

How much is something like that mandarine tree u got ?

Where can I purchase an owari satsuma. Tree.. Do you sell them?

Where can I purchase one of these satsumas?

thanks for sharing the information

Can grow these in 25gal grow bags???

Thank you. I notice the leaves of my kumquat have white powdery appearance. Is it mildew or spider mites? Will Neem oil solve this problem? Please advise. Thank you!

What is the white things in the trunks and for what?

Do you sell your soil mix?

Yummy oranges and so beautiful! 🍊 👍🍊

Beautiful can I buy all your trees in the pots yeah I like alot

What do you do w all the fruit?

Nice! Your plants are looking very healthy I'm taking notes! I had to switch to terra cotta pots instead plastic containers for my citrus. I've killed 2 kumquats so far due to overwatering and I've noticed plastic retains so much water and the soil takes about a month to dry out even with perlite.

What Size of Container Should One Use Please Let me know in Inches Thanks

Is there anyway you can tell me the exact ingredients in your soil, i feel like im using the wrong soil because the water does not come out as fast as you say in the video. Thanks and great video!

Do you sell these citrus plants?
