Citrus & Olives

This group will succeed outdoors all year except when the temperature falls below 5C. In fact citrus are often thought to do better outside in three of our four seasons. Citrus trees are sometimes thought to be difficult to grow but we have found the most important factor to be the compost & feeding regime. They need John Innes Compost & special citrus feed which has the right amount of trace elements, without this their leaves often turn yellow. Full care instructions are provided with all citrus trees supplied

Olives normally succeed outdoors all winter in our part of the world but if you have any doubts put them in a sheltered, sunny spot & wrap them in fleece
