THE BEST TIME TO PLANT FRUIT AND CITRUS IN CALIFORNIA

The answer to this common question is simple: before the tree flowers. To get the best crop of fruit in the first year, you want to plant your trees before the blooms have set. This ensures your trees have time to establish in the yard and once they bloom, they have acclimated and are ready to produce a gorgeous harvest of juicy fruit or citrus!

If you plant your fruiting trees after the flowers have set, your trees will drop their blooms to focus on root growth and becoming accustomed to your yard. This means you could end up waiting a whole season before you get a harvest from your trees. Many of our fruiting trees are just about to begin blooming, making right now the best time to get them planted in your yard!
