A citrus twist on container gardening

Growing citrus trees in containers is an excellent way to enjoy fresh fruit in small spaces. Pot size determines tree growth, so choose a container that matches your desired size and ensure
it has drainage holes.

Semi-dwarf varieties like Meyer lemons adapt well to pots and remain manageable. Light pruning maintains shape and airflow. Monitoring for pests ensures vigor.

With consistent care, blossoms will turn into fruit, making container citrus a rewarding option for patios, balconies or urban gardens.

This method combines beauty, fragrance and productivity, proving that even limited spaces can yield abundant harvests.
