Growing
Because this citrus hybrid is a single-plant producer, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest even if you only have one tree in your garden. When planting, ensure your soil remains slightly acidic, ideally between a pH of 5.5 and 7.0, to mimic its native tropical environment. If you are growing in a container, prioritize a well-draining potting mix to prevent the roots from sitting in waterlogged soil, which can lead to decline. While the tree is hardy enough to withstand light frost, it thrives best in warm, sunny locations.
You should begin harvesting once the fruit has reached its full color and is ready to use, as these citrus fruits do not continue to ripen once they are removed from the branch. To maintain the best quality, avoid washing the fruit until you are ready to consume it, and store the unwashed fruit at room temperature. If you find yourself with an abundance of fruit, you can also utilize them for making preserves or even pickling them to extend their use in your kitchen.
