 The unique foliage, aromatic flowers, and dramatic colors of citrus add an exotic touch to the garden, terrace, deck, or balcony. The delicious and nutritious fruits they harvest are a draw to an ever-increasing number of people interested in growing their own food.

Martin Page charts the introduction of citrus to the western world, celebrates their unique flavours and diverse uses, and recommends the best varieties for garden cultivation. The detailed cultivation advice describes how to grow the trees in all climates, includes tips on overwintering, and shows how to tend to trees in pots, small gardens and greenhouses. Includes oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, clementines and many more.

Growing Citrus is the definitive guide to growing the world's most important fruit crops and will inspire the enthusiastic home gardener to grow their own.

 

 Martin Page trained as a botanist and received his PhD from the University of Exeter. He is a Fellow of the Linnean Society. He worked for the Nature Conservancy Council surveying hay meadows and contributed to the National Vegetation Classification.
