Citrus trees need light

In the March 7 Plant Talk column, a reader asked about growing citrus trees outdoors in Seattle. Rose Marie Nichols McGee, of Nichols Garden Nursery in Oregon, weighs in:

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people tell me they grow their citrus outdoors year around in the Pacific Northwest. I always ask if it bears fruit. The answer is always, ‘Well, no … ‘

“But, indoors, even in low light, citrus trees will limp through, drop some leaves, have fragrant flowers and fruit and actually be a pleasant plant. We get them outside when there’s no or little danger of frost. Then they seem to rejuvenate.

“I lightly fertilize all year. My sister and brother-in-law in Bellingham keep theirs indoors all year and the plant does well, but they have more light than we do.”
