The UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners are excited to bring you our very first class about citrus! We are holding this class on Zoom so we can record it and post it to our YouTube Channel.

Citrus trees are one of the most popular fruit trees grown in California. Not everyone can grow Lemons, limes, kumquats, pomelo, grapefruit, and oranges, just to name a few! The climate has to be just right, and the Central Valley of California is perfect for this crop.

We hope you will join us for an evening learning how to successfully grow citrus in your garden. We will discuss how to properly plant, water, and care for your tree, including when to fertilize, if and when you should prune, and also some of the common pests that cause problems for gardeners.

Where*: On Zoom. You will receive a link the morning of the class.
