When to replanting Orange trees
I should start by stating that I actually live in Madrid, Spain. The climate is more extreme than that in the UK with a very long and hot Summer, short Spring and Autumn and an often cold winter (sub-zero).
My father in-law has several seed grown hardy orange trees in pots (I think they're about one year old) and he wants to plant them out as soon as possible. Would it be best to do this now (the weather is currently wet and mild) or wait until Spring? Any advice would be much appreciated. |

The message m
from valmojado contains these words: I should start by stating that I actually live in Madrid, Spain.

The UK climate and latitude are so different from yours, that orange trees never get planted out in gardens at all; they wouldn't survive. Janet. |

I am hesitant about advising a Spaniard about orange trees, but if no one else is going to - i understand Madrid occasionally gets frost in the winter. That won't worry a mature orange tree but might kill a one year old one. Secondly you want to move a plant at a time when its roots will grow vigorously into their new home. I would therefore wait till April. You must then be very careful to keep the plants well watered all next year - mature citrus can go without water but young ones can't. Hope this helps. |
