Fertilizing Your Citrus Tree

Early spring is the time to fertilize your citrus tree in Florida. But the age of the tree is important, as there are two different fertilizing schedules. One is for young trees, where leaf and stem growth is maximized and another is for mature trees, where fruit production is maximized.
