Need Help Tips: Planting Citrus in AZ

14 years ago

Hi y'all... I just moved to Arizona about a year ago. I want to plant a citrus tree in my parent's backyard in Mesa. More specifically, I want to plant a close relative to the lime, which is the Calamansi (a citrus with origins from the Philippines).

Can this be planted in Arizona soil and sun? My parents have a lemon tree which seems to be doing fine. I just don't know if planting in late April or early May is okay? Or should I keep it in the pot and plant it at a later time? Also, any other tips on selecting a location to plant and additives to the soil?

Thanks!
