Help re. Citrus tree planting
NorthEast Florida = zone 8 or 9.
My wife was given a White Grapefruit tree and will plant it this week. Please share some experience and advice on this. 1) With 50' trees shading the east side, there'll be NO direct sunlight 'til 11 AM at best. If she plants in the center of the yard, we can improve that by an hour, but will lose perhaps an hour late in the day. If she crowds the tree line, she will lose another hour early, but will gain shelter from north winds in winter. I (the newbie) favor the most sunlight. She (the experienced) likes the more shady area. 2) Tag says use Acid fertilizer. We know lime would be alkali, but what is acid? The trees include pine, which I think acidifies the soil, such that azaleas love it. We are open to any and all advice here. THANKS in advance. Scott |
