Growing Citrus in the Desert

Zoom Online class participants will receive a Zoom link for the class two hours before the class begins.

$30 Non-Member / $24 Member

Citrus are one of the wonderful things we can grow in our desert gardens. Our sunny days and relatively mild winters make our gardens an ideal environment for citrus. From oranges, lemons, grapefruit, limes, and more, there are many choices available to you. In this class, Noelle Johnson, ‘AZ Plant Lady,’ will share what you need to know to grow citrus successfully with the unique challenges present in the desert garden, including proper tree placement, fertilizing, watering, pest control, and how to preserve the harvest in this class.
