Bryan..You have Mail...Dale

but I need the answer too!

Bryan, there are many ways to grow containerized citrus trees. Currently I am growing 48 different varieties of citrus, all in containers in a Colorado greenhouse. Here is what I do.... I make my own potting mix using 4 parts CHC and 1-1/2 parts peat moss. To every five gallons of this mixture I add one cup dolomite, one cup Osmocote and a small hand full of STEM. I ALSO fertilize the trees using a constant feeding program. A constant feeding program is one where you fertilize with every watering at a reduced rate. I fertilize at a rate of 200 PPM nitrogen (using a fertilizer containg trace minerals) with each watering. I also flush all containers once every three months. On very new trees you might start out fertilizing at 150 PPM nitrogen. If you need to find STEM in smaller amounts send me an e-mail. Take care. - Millet
