GO JUICY FRUITY WITH CITRUS!

A bit of a departure this month. Instead of talking about trees or bushes we can all plant in our gardens or allotments, we’re going to be looking at a range of fruit which needs to be grown indoors for at least some of the year. Plants which need a little extra tender loving care, but which richly reward you with fragrant blossom, evergreen foliage and exquisite scented fruit which can be used in the kitchen (or in your Friday night Gand T!). Let’s explore the very popular world of growing citrus fruits, and see how best to successfully grow these delightful fruits.

Citrus are members of the rue family – a large group of shrubs and plants which all tend to have very fragrant flowers, foliage or fruits.
