Growing Citrus In Houston

Backyard Orchard Class #2

Citrus trees can be planted this winter and in a few years will bear bushels of fruit. They are even evergreens that have fragrant flowers, attract North America's largest butterfly and are a good bird habitat. Explore the types of citrus available, how to grow them, and where seeds and saplings can be obtained. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits is available.
