Why Your Citrus Tree May Arrive Topped

Ever wonder why your citrus tree shows up a little shorter or a little bent? Or may even arrive with the top branches broken. Hershell from Madison Citrus Nursery walks you through how we get every tree ready for the box. We try to ship the largest possible tree we can, sometimes the tops may get damaged in shipping instead of pruned prior to shipping, if that is the case we just tried to get too large of a tree to you, please prune them when they arrive. In this video you'll learn: Why we top tall trees so they fit a 47 inch box (UPS charges extra over 48 inches) Why bent limbs spring back up in a few days How we bag and stake each tree so the soil stays put and moist How topping helps your tree grow more side branches and a nicer shape Why some dwarf trees are smaller when a new variety first comes out Sipo, our weeping citrus with sweet fruit like a Hamlin Why lemon trees have lighter new growth We grow over 500 citrus varieties in our greenhouses in Ray City, Georgia, and ship them right to your door.
