I've watched 15 different videos today about citrus growing in pots and this one is by far THE most informative one from start to finish. Thanks so much. I'm excited for my new dwarf orange tree.

I have had a lemon tree from Four Winds for about 10 years in a container. I moved, put it outside for the summer and chickens dug it completely out of the pot while I was at work one day! The tree didn't survive. The point is, I bought a three year old tree, the tree came in fantastic shape, had blooms on it already, fruited very soon after I got it and I was enjoying full sized lemons within the year. I averaged about 15-30 lemons per year for the rest of the time I had it. I highly recommend Four Winds for your citrus plants! ...and listen to every word they have to say!
P.S. I live where I had to have it inside most of the year. It was so uplifting when those wonderful smelling flowers started blooming when we were usually still knee deep in snow.

Best potted citrus video I’ve seen. You talk a lot about the soil and drainage and how to prepare it and why. This is probably the most critical part of growing healthy potted plants so I really appreciate this info. Also you talk about fertilizing. I really struggle with my potted citrus and after watching several videos I’m still not sure why my citrus drop leaves, yellow and get brown spots.

This is AWESOME, Charles!!!! I subscribed to Four Winds Growers’ channel and I just called them and asked if they have dwarf Calamondin and they said they do have one available. I ALSO saved them on my iPhone address for future use. Thank you so much. ❤️

I too am a fan of Four Winds Growers! I have bought 3 varieties of kumquat and an Omari Satsuma mandarin from them, all relatively cold hardy since I live in the high desert of SoCal in USDA zone 8b. All arrived in excellent condition, and the company has been great at customer service too, for instance when an avocado I ordered in premium size was not ready to ship in time last year due to weird weather.

Nice very detailed tips on how to grow citrus plant in containers. Very knowledgeable with tips.

[amysnipes]

I've gotten several entry size citrus from 4 Winds. They arrive in great condition, very healthy.

Hi Charles, a great synopsis on container growing...everything from A to Z has been covered to help insure success to all who dream of growing their own citrus! IT CAN BE DONE...I KNOW, living here in the Midwest 'tundra' known as West Central IL! And your knowledge has been applied with successful growing seasons every year! Thank you always, in never hesitating, and helping me along!!! Al W.🙂

[Mimi.P]

Thanks so much! I checked out Four Winds and they actually have pixie mandarin trees in their smaller size. I've been questing for a pixie tree for the last month and I'm so happy I was able to get two.

[CosmicHoneyMotherShip]

Dude! this is such a freaking good video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[LauraEllen]

Great video, thanks! I looove my trees from Four Winds Growers!

[czermeno]

Thanks for the great advice. Just went and purchased a Bearss Lime and Valencia Orange from FourWindsGarders. Hope they grow well...

[TheCloneGuy]

What are you thoughts on growing citrus (or any other type of fruit tree) in grow bags?

[LittleJordanFarm]

Thanks for this..the chart is a great visual tut o help remember better. I've got some papaya in pots so looking forward to seeing what I can do with it. Stay well

[TheRealDrCube]

Awesome video! Any tips for dealing with potting soils that end up drying to the point that they no longer absorb water? I live in Los Angeles and am pretty good about keeping my potted plants watered, but sometimes (seemingly overnight!) I will go to water one of my plants and it seems as though the soil doesn't absorb any of the water and it just flows through the pot.

[michaelcaragio]

I’m using a 55 gallon water barrel that I cut in half I’m gonna use it as a wicker system. Have you looked at using a system like this or ever tried it? I have a Meyer lemon tree that I’m going to plant.

I like your soils and nutrients. I believe your all purpose nutrient will be perfect going forward.

[haydenjames]

Peat moss does wonders for my Meyer Lemon tree! Love that stuff!😁

[meenakshimuralidhar]

❤ God Bless You for Great tips, Brother 👏🏾👋

The topic of watering, I live in a cold climate 6B, and stuck to the "let them dry out" method before watering, but if you want fruit, water Ive lost so many buds because the plant was drying out. My recommendation in the summer and the plant is flowering is to water heavily once a day. JMHO.

I grew a lemon tree from the seed of a store-bought lemon. Its 12 yrs old now. Never has produced flowers or fruit. its outdoors in summer. indoors in winter. This year I repotted it. Severely root bound. I pruned the roots and fed it. No signs of transplant shock. The tree is at least 6ft in its pot. Will it ever produce lemons or is it just ornamental for life?
