Fruit Salad Trees

Citrus Fruit Salad Trees is born from a passion of horticulture, and absolute love of plants. Grafting is an ancient technique that I have dabbled with for a long time, and through local mentors, have been experimenting with the multi grafted fruit trees. We currently stock trees from a local nursery and have our own special varieties currently growing for next season. Our Nursery is based out at Muriwai Beach, New Zealand.

Citrus Fruit Salad Tree Tips

  • Citrus trees prefer slightly acidic soil. Ensure good drainage and consider adding compost or organic matter to enrich the soil. We recommend a citrus specific potting mix if growing in pots. 

  • Pruning whilst your fruit salad tree is young helps maintain the shape of your tree and ensures good airflow. Make sure to keep the tree 'balanced' by pruning a grafted branch that is outgrowing the other. 

  • While citrus trees are generally hardy, they can be sensitive to extreme cold. If you’re in a colder climate, protect your tree with frost cloths or by bringing it indoors during winter.

  • Citrus trees benefit from regular feeding. Use a citrus-specific slow release fertiliser early spring to support healthy growth, especially during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing in winter when the tree is dormant. 

  • Citrus trees love the sun! Ensure your multi grafted citrus tree gets at least 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and fruit production.

  • Over the summer months, deep and thorough watering is key especially your potted citrus. Water stress can lead to citrus dropping their developing fruit. Applying mulch around the root zone, will help keep the soil moist for longer. If planted in a pot, you will need to water more regularly.

  • Growing in pots : Choose a large pot - At least 40L to provide ample space for the roots to grow, and allow the soil to stay moist for longer in the summer months.
