The soil around the citrus dried out. We turned off the water to the citrus trees for a couple weeks, and we've had some dry weather. Now, the water is back on. Today, I watered each of the fruit trees with some fish emulsion, hoping to give them a shot of nitrogen to spur growth. The leaves and blossoms are starting the bud out on the apple tree, so I'm hoping it is a good time. Maybe I'll repeat some this spring. I'd like to help the newer citrus trees get well established. I recall the most successful and fastest citrus to establish for me were 2 houses ago, about 8 miles from here. It could have been the location, obviously, but at the time I used a lot of fish emulsion in my gardening. So, I'm trying to replicate that.
