When you see an orange, do you wonder what it would take to have citrus growing in your own yard? 

Winter is citrus season, but learning things you need to do to prepare for a great growing season can be good information any time of the year. We'll walk through the types and varieties that thrive in a backyard setting — from sweet navels and blood oranges to Meyer lemons and finger limes. Then we'll tackle pests and diseases, including how to spot trouble before it spreads and the organic and chemical options that actually work. We'll cover care and feeding — the seasonal routines that turn a struggling tree into a fruit machine.
