My orange tree is about twenty five years old,fairly good size and appears healthy. produces well.Because I am away from May 15 to November 15 I, trim my tree early May (just befor leaving)and again late November, after I return. I fertilize with Citrus food 13-10-4 when I return in November again in February and just befor leaving in May. I flood the root system two to three times while hear.
What is your oppinion of how I'm caring for the tree and what you suggest I might do differently. Please note, the automatic dripper system maintains regular watering all the while I am not hear.
Thank you,
